Nothing of Note  by Primsong 2 Review(s)
Kara's AuntyReviewed Chapter: 14 on 10/30/2008
Hello Primsong,

so, I've read the next 7 chapters and enjoyed every one. Your Bilbo is so true to form with his wandering and singing and manner of speech. It's delighful to see his growing realisation of the appeal of taking an heir - so realistic that I could imagine this is exactly how it happened.

The other characters are interesting: Lardy Took, Finch Cornfield and I particularly liked the Baggins According to Baggins chapter where Bilbo was trying to describe himself to the small-minded Brockhouses without giving away his identity.

I feel for him though, in his lonliness and realisation that almost every other Hobbit he knows has no sense of adventure. Still, as this is what brings him to the point of adopting Frodo, then he needs to go through it.

I loved the poems and songs you have written for him to sing - they are so authentically Bilbo that Tolkien himself could surely not have found fault with them.

Excellent work!

Ah, so young Finch is not so adventurous after all. But a seed has been planted.
