Funny, me and my friends certainly belonged to 15-25 age bracket when we got into Tolkien books.

As to literary qualities of Hobbit, well. I like it quite a lot less now than when I was 15.

Best age for Hobbit is probably 6-8, and re-read at 13-15, with the LOTR...

I did pretty much that. Which makes it even weirder that the movie was so dark and gloomy and showed so many cut-off heads up close. (Maybe some of the darkness was caused by the 3D.)
