I am a huge Tolkien fan and I couldn't get through The
Hobbit the first couple of times I tried to read it. I
gave up on it and read LotR first. There is a summary
of The Hobbit in the Prologue of LotR that tells you
all you need to know. Give LotR a try; its style is
nothing like The Hobbit. Then you might do as I did
and go back to TH. It does get better: as the story
goes along, Tolkien drops a lot of the childish tone.
