Summary: Excellent storyline but too long
Review: I read The Hobbit for my book report in eighth grade and it was pretty interesting. This book had a lot of great details so that you can pracitically envision the story taking place but it was also somewhat long. I grew bored by the middle of the book. The Hobbit, like most other fantasy stories, display the theme of the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Summary: Kind of like frosted flakes, grown-ups love it too!
Review: Normally the Hobbit is considered one if the greatest childrens' fairie tales of all time. This may be true but in my opinion, this is one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century. A captivating tale of heroism and loyalty. I rate it an A++, must read......for grown-ups too!

Summary: This book is great because of Bilbo.
Review: The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien is an excellent book. It is mainly about a hobbit,Bilbo, on a mission. You'll just have to read it to find out what for. I loved this book because it kept me wanting to read it. I always looked forward to picking it up.

Summary: Great Book
Review: The book was great personaly I thought the character count was perfect and the detail was just right so I can see their world. The fact that people could not understand this book baffles me because I read it and understood it in 5th grade. The people who think this book has too many characters and too much detail must have absolutely no memory because I who can not remember how old people are could remember almost all of the detail. I agree that this book should not be class reading, not every one reads at the same leval and not everyone can appreciate this form of lituratuer, but Shakspere is no better he totaly bores me. His books have too much dialog and not enough substance. I think Tolken is a great writer and his books are at a level that not many people can understand. So if you have trouble reading or have poor memory don't read this book, but if you are a good reader with relitively good memory at least try this book, you may not like it so you should cheak it out from a library, so if you don't there will be no loss but if you do like it buy the book, it is an excelent investment.

Summary: A great book!!!!
Review: I really enjoyed reading "The Hobbit" and I thought it was a good book in nearly all ways. For readers that have not read "The Hobbit" please do not do what my mother and many other people have done:give up at the start or in the middle just because it's boring for a bit (near, in or just after a chapter called "Flys And Spiders"). The best bit in my opinon is at the end of the book but the whole thing is good. It is worth buying but I still sugest you read at a library it first because looking at the other reviews there are some people who don't like it. But if you do like it I highly sugest you to read "The Lord Of The Rings". Please E-mail me about my review if you want to.

Summary: "The Hobbit", an exciting and adventurous novel
Review: I thought that "The Hobbit" was extraordinary with all of the characters and suspenseful settings. It is so great that it is able to lure anyone to it. The characters were well described and I loved the "homonculus" Bilbo Baggins! Although I found some of the words difficult to pronounce, I enjoyed reading "The Hobbit". I think that anyone who likes adventure and fantasy, should read this one because it's the best.

Summary: Lighthearted, but hinting at greater things.
Review: Some people call this a children's book, and in a way it is. But Tolkien's Hobbit has plenty for older readers, a sense of oldfashioned fantasy not found in most modern sword-and-sorcery books. My dad used to read it to us kids when I was just 4 or 5 years old, and my love of "The Hobbit" has only grown with age. Reading "The Lord of the Rings" has made me appreciate the book and its author even more.
