Interesting idea.....Though it's probably going to be somewhat hard. All of the story would be very hard. I mean who can take the place of Aragorn? How would you explain Gollum? I agree with nuguernachil, the hobbits need to be children. Maybe in an orphanage of some type, Bilbo is a teenager who acts like Frodo's big brother. But he runs off..and he leaves behind a map or something that leads to a place he found something humans don't need (weapon of mass destruction, immortality elixir, time machine, etc. etc.)Ack....I'm babbling. As for the races, I wouldn't worry about making a certain race this and this. It doesn't have to black and white. Man itself can be good or evil. It adds to that mysteriousness on who to trust.
