Summary: The Gateway to another World in literature
Review: This book was the one that introduced me to a whole new genre of literature. It was the gateway to the likes of Donaldson, Eddings, Kerr, Feist and many others the sort of stuff which I specifically look for when I want to read something relaxing. Tolkien has managed to transport the reader to a completely different world populated with absolutely delightful characters. I have read it countless times in countless situations, in an airliner crossing the Atlantic, in the centre of Picadilly Square, on a bus, on the underground, in bed, by the campfire, during examination time, wether I'm exhausted or bristling with energy... this is stuff that anyone can enjoy at any time and in any surroundings or situation. This sort of literature is a good lesson for all of us to stop taking ourselves and our petty concerns too seriously. It teaches us to be children once again and to experience joy at simple things. Everyone should read it at least once, especially adults !

Summary: If you don't read this...you will miss a wonderful thing!!!
Review: From the songs of the Hobbits, Dwarves, and Elves, to the evil poetry of Smaug, the Hobbit can catch you singing the songs before you know it. The Riddles will leave you wondering. But best of all, this book will leave you in awe. The greatness of Tolkien shines through. READ THIS BOOK OF ADVENTURE AND FANTASY. ENJOY!!!

Summary: Great book.
Review: If you hate The Hobbit, to you I say this, "Aha ahA ha-ah hehehe MORON."I think this is one of the great books written this century and is an excellent prelude to The Lord of the Rings.

Summary: Take a journey into this book!
Review: Horrendus beasts, enchanted forests, bountiful treasures, this book has 'em all! The Hobbit is a great book about Bilbo Baggins' adventure to help some dwarves regain their treasure and land, gaurded by Smaug the dragon. Along the way they encounter a great many different beings, some friendly, some not. I liked the part about how Bilbo's great-great-granduncle who, by knocking off a goblin kings head, won a battle and created the game of golf at the same time. This book is a wonderful read for almost any person.

Summary: One of the Best Ever
Review: I first read this book in 7th grade, and I find myself rereading it about every three years (I am now 30). This book and the trilogy that follows are are nothing short of brilliant.

Summary: The Hobbit is a GREAT book for both old and younger readers.
Review: The Hobbit, a fantastic fantasy tale, is great for both older and younger readers. The author really knows what keeps the pace as well as the interest. I was recommended the book by a friend, who has also read the Lord of the Rings. Since I have now entered Tokein's realm, I have enjoyed it ever so much, I fully plan to read the Lord of the Rings as well. The Hobbit would make a great bedtime story reading (not all at once, of course) as well as a good high school or even college literature class assignment. The Hobbit is definately a must-read for all Fantasy readers - chocked full of elves, dwarves, trolls, spiders, eagles, goblins, and shape changers. Five stars and bursting near six.

Summary: A forced comment
Review: Five stars are five stars. I could hardly say anything somebody has not exclaimed yet. The Hobbit is simply one of my most precious ("Precioussss...") possessions. What I actually want to say is : teachers who force their students to read a book like this (or any book whatever), should be hung, drowned and burned on the stake. All at once. The best way to make somebody hate a book is to give it to him/her as a compulsory assignment. I myself have experienced this several times, and I pity all the people who estimated The Hobbit low for this reason. If you had come across it without being compelled by somebody else, I guess your opinion would have been quite different...

Summary: Mystical, enchanting, funny
Review: The Hobbit is a kinda fairytale about Bilbo, the hobbit, and his journeys throughout the world, to retreive the dragon's treasure. He meets many strange and wonderful characters along the way, each adding a twist to the story. I recommend it to 12- year olds.

Summary: Good, but not as good as LOTR
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but I thought it was a little too lighthearted and carefree for a book of that type. LOTR takes on the role of dark and ominous settings where it is needed much better.
