Hobbit Math
The book The Hobbit is 316 pages long.
The first Hobbit movie is 2:49, or 169 minutes long.
Assuming the next two movie installments are as long as the first the total run-time for the Hobbit movies will be 507 minutes long.
This means that if you can read faster than .62 pages per minute, you can read The Hobbit in less time than it would take to watch The Hobbit trilogy.

Horrible Book Reviews
The Book: ”The Hobbit” by JRR Tolkein
Reviewed by “Olive-705” on Goodreads:
Shelves: abandoned-booksI think this book was frankly kinda boring. I think (even though I stopped reading at page 60) it didn’t relate to many real world issues, except for maybe something like peer pressure when Bilbo is forced into coming on an adventure. But I found I couldn’t relate to it.
Maybe it’s just me, but THERE ARE TOO MANY CHARACTERS!
I found this book uninteresting and while I guess quite a bit happened in the first 60 pages, it didn’t appeal to me.
Happy birthday to Bilbo and Frodo!
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort…. - J.R.R. Tolkien , The Hobbit , Ch.1
