I was brought up with LotR and it was one of the first books I read at a very young age. The Hobbit I read later and I don't know why this is but I just enjoyed it more. It was simple and to the point. I guess since I had the lore indoctrinated in me from a young age it was always beaten into me that Bilbo was the real protagonist and the whole thing was really his story. It was also stand alone and it was a bit annoying how LotR bent parts of the plot to squeeze in the new story. It was also fairly basic fantasy story
