The Hobbit

Rating:
Summary: It marks the begining of true fantasy, and still the best!
Review: The Hobbit is one of the greatest works of fiction to date. It grabs the reader and drags him/her along on a journey through dangerous forests, high mountains, deep, dark caves and frightful dragon lairs! It's a must for children and a great read (or re-read) for adults. Bilbo Baggins undergoes a true transformation from respectful hobbit to high-adventurer. Any edition of this wonderful book is sure to delight the reader and introduce them to the wonderful world of Tolkien! Enjoy!

Summary: The Hobbit is more of an adult book and for children
Review: It was hard to understand but we enjoyed it. It was about hobbits[dwarfs] and how they go about life and the dangers they come across. It is one of the worlds best sellers and is very popular.

Summary: It was good, but not that good
Review: This was a good book that had many interesting conflicts and sub plots. Yet, it wasn't the best fantasy book I've ever read. I read some of the other comments on this book but fail to see why those morons who didn't like it gave it a 1. They obviously are pathetic and shouldn't be reading at all since they have no idea what fiction means. I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy and adventure books.

Summary: The Hobbit is an enthraling adventure
Review: The Hobbit is a great adventure and J R R Tolkien has the ability to put you right in Bilbo's shoes. You can see, smell, hear, and feel everything that Bilbo does. You will use all your senses when you read the hobbit, and when you start you won't be able to put it down

Rating:
Summary: A Fairly Interesting Book
Review: This book is a classic example of fantasy, and is also an epic. It contains all the characteristics that either such story would have. The characters are all well developed and believable with enough human traits that anyone can find their soul mate in one of them. I wouldn't recomend this book if you're looking for something allagorical or with deep meaning, but if you're looking for something that's easy and fun to read, The Hobbit is it.

Summary: One of the BEST, most CREATIVE books I've EVER read.
Review: Words can't describe the excitment, joy, and appreciation I feel every time I pick this book up. I've read The Lord of the Rings also. Poor Bilbo! You can help but chuckle as he runs out of his house without a hanky. Worse things await him and his heir. I have read this whole series, The Hobbit plus The Lord of the Rings, at least 10 times. Tolkien's refreshing writing blends innocence and a view that sees the world in a pure, unadulterated fashion. It makes for a thoroughly enjoyable book.

Rating:
Summary: Let the adventures of Bilbo seize your mind!
Review: I like this book because Bilbo(a chubby, furry footed character) is so unsuspecting of what is going to happen. He gets smarter as he is trapped on the long staircase of Smaug, and he fellow friends follow him to the the treasure. If you like books with adventure and fantasy characters, read this book and let Bilbo's adventures take over your mind!

Summary: Grow Up, Whiners
Review: Although I don't like fantasy very much and didn't truly like the plot of The Hobbit, I must say that it was well written and very good. The especially enjoyed Gollom. I read this book for school and at frist found it slow, but as we approched the Lone Mtn. I couldn't put it down.
It was the first book I've ever read that's truly challenged me. I agree with a comment I saw earlier, the Hobbit wasn't written on the R. L. Stine, Gossebumps, three sentance-paragraphs level. This is a true novel. So what if the paragraphs are long? Grow up.
I also think that I will read the Lord of the Rings tril. just so I get some challenging, school appropriate, GOOD literature for once, instead of R. L Stine and Co.
