Hello everybody! I'm new on the forum Now I am reading "The Hobbit" and I was all PJ's trilogy. I liked very much Merry and Pippin so, I wonder if Merry's best friend is Pippin in the book too. Thank you!
Welcome! Yep, Merry and Pippin are best friends in the book as well. But one thing to keep in mind regarding the books - the hobbits are much older than they are portrayed in the films!

That's good work Bear! Thanks. It would make sense that Frodo was the oldest since Sam ALWAYS called Frodo "mister Frodo"
