Even more of the Hobbit

Blog number two lets keep going with some Hobbit information!!! Bilbo yells, and out of the crack jump dozens of goblins, who tie up and carry off each member of the company except Gandalf, who was warned by Bilbo's yell. The goblins carry the dwarves and the hobbit down into the mountain to a huge chamber where the Great Goblin sits. The goblins follow quickly after them, and one of the goblins catches up to the dwarf Dori, who has been carrying Bilbo on his back. Bilbo falls off, strikes his head on the ground, and loses consciousness.When Bilbo regains consciousness, he can see nothing in the darkness. If Gollum's riddle stumps Bilbo, he will eat Bilbo, but if Bilbo's stumps Gollum, Gollum will show Bilbo the way out of the mountain. Through sheer luck, Bilbo happens to slip on the ring, and Gollum runs right past him. Realizing the ring's power, Bilbo follows Gollum, who heads toward the exit thinking that Bilbo is ahead of him. Bilbo leaps over him, runs past the goblins unnoticed thanks to the ring, and just barely manages to squeeze through the door into freedom and fresh air. So far overall some crazy stuff has happened and I am really digging this book! I suggest it to all those who have yet to read it!

Summary of whats happening so far

In as much as i have read this is what has happened to Bilbo. As he approaches a clearing in the woods, Bilbo sees three huge trolls sitting around a fire, eating mutton. The trolls stop fighting just long enough to hide in the trees and throw a sack over each approaching dwarf. The trolls decide to cook the dwarves immediately, but then a voice, which sounds like one of the trolls, starts an argument, and the three trolls start fighting again. The sun peeks over the horizon and the trolls all freeze because apparently sunlight turns trolls to stone. He had been throwing his voice to mislead the dwarves and to keep the trolls arguing until morning. As the company approaches Rivendell, a number of elves approach them and invite them back to eat and rest. This book so far is really interesting and fun too read. Although I still have not seen the second movie.
