This term I have decided to read the Hobbit. I have seen the first two movies and I loved them because I was a huge fan of Lord of the Rings before. As I am reading the book I see amost literally what is saw in the movie. The book is pretty good so far so I hope that it will get better and better. As for the characters, I notices that Bilbo Baggins is quite shy and doesn't have the courage to speak his mind or asking people to stop because he thinks that it comes accross as rude. All we know so far about Thorin is that he is the most important elf and he acts the part.
