Why didn't Bilbo see everything bluury-like? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

As I recall it, in the books it does say that Frodo's vision of the world pales when he puts on the ring - also before he gets to Mordor.

It's true that Bilbo doesn't experience this effect of the ring - we must ascribe it to the growing power of Sauron (as another poster says) between Bilbo's last use of it (at the end of his speech at the birthday party) & the first time Frodo uses it, after he leaves Bagend. Remember, in the books thats some 16 years or so...
