Discover the complex ethics surrounding the Arkenstone, Smaug’s treasure, and ponder on the deeper meanings behind key plot points.

Description:
A philosophical exploration of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved
classic?just in time for the December 2012 release of Peter
Jackson's new film adaptation, The Hobbit: An Unexpected
Journey
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is one of the best-loved
fantasy books of all time and the enchanting "prequel" to The
Lord of the Rings. With the help of some of history's great
philosophers, this book ponders a host of deep questions raised in
this timeless tale, such as: Are adventures simply "nasty,
disturbing, uncomfortable things" that "make you late for dinner,"
or are they exciting and potentially life-changing events? What
duties do friends have to one another? Should mercy be extended
even to those who deserve to die?
Gives you new insights into The Hobbit's central
characters, including Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Gollum, and Thorin
and their exploits, from the Shire through Mirkwood to the Lonely
Mountain
Explores key questions about The Hobbit's story and
themes, including: Was the Arkenstone really Bilbo's to give? How
should Smaug's treasure have been distributed? Did Thorin leave his
"beautiful golden harp" at Bag-End when he headed out into the
Wild? (If so, how much could we get for that on eBay?)
Draws on the insights of some of the world's deepest thinkers,
from Confucius, Plato, and Aristotle to Immanuel Kant, William
Blake, and contemporary American philosopher Thomas Nagel
From the happy halls of Elrond's Last Homely House to Gollum's
"slimy island of rock,"Ă‚Â this is a must read for longtime
Tolkien fans as well as those discovering Bilbo Baggins and his

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more.
I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things.
It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic.
I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together.
I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray.
Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know.
PRO:
* Very likable characters
* Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well
* The spelling and grammar are good
* The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens.
CON:
* Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack
* Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done
* Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order
THINGS TO KNOW:
* More steamy scenes than storytelling
* A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat
