:D Yes, The Hobbit was his first work in the whole thing, and it certainly did show I think. Educated fellow, but experience certainly is a really important thing. It really is more of a book for kids I think... Actually, there's another way to look at it, in the whole fictional world of all this, The Hobbit is written by an actual hobbit :D. They are simplistic themselves and lack suspense, so that's how it got written. Or, I dunno, something like that.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
