The first book that I read in English
Hi folks!
Finally I finished reading The Hobbit. The first book that I read totally in English.
Although The Hobbit is much less detailed than The Lord Of The Rings (these one I've read in my mother language, Portuguese), for me it was difficult to read some chapters, especially the ones in which Tolkien described many places and creatures. I didn't know many of the adjectives that he used. I can say that I knew 85% of the words in the book. For a good reading, I recommend a book that you know more than 90% of the words in it. Therefore, I can say that The Hobbit is a book for readers with a better English level.
The next book that I will read is The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I think this book will be a little bit more easier than The Hobbit.
