Recommendations
I read both the book and I've seen the movie multiple times. I thought both of them were great. There weren't that many differences, the biggest one was, I thought, was that the movie didn't say how much time had passed from when Bilbo left to when Gandalf came back. They were both great and I recommend this to anyone who likes an adventure.
