This book was REALLY INTERESTING. 
 Well, when scenes didn't include the characters partying, when the characters weren't living their normal lives. Reading those scenes were pretty boring. At least, that's what I felt. 
 The action scenes were more interesting. It's a good thing that there's more of the adventure scenes than the happy-normal-lives type of scenes. 
 (view spoiler)[I mean, personally, I'd rather read about Bilbo fighting dragons rather than Bilbo complaining about random strangers messing up his house (or should I say, hobbit hole), you know? (hide spoiler)]
