I meant the diamond and jewel coating on his soft underbelly. Except for the place over his left breast. (I wouldn't have picked it up except I read it so recently). It's a very cool pic. I was supposed to read the Hobbit for middle school. Didn't - I watched some movie and based a paper on it. It did not stick with me. I decided to pick a copy up and read it. (You can only hear so many good things about a book/author before you have to try it). I figured I would read the hobbit as an introduction to the world before tackling the Lord of the Rings. (The books not the movies). DonnyD
