Rating: Summary: A message to the people who critizised this book Review: I have noticed that the people who have given this book a bad name have either had the book forced upon them by a teacher or just simply tried to be smart-asses. Like them, I guess you could say I too had the book 'forced' upon me by a teacher, but unlike them I thought that it was a god damn MASTERPIECE. I cannot believe how cold some people can be. It makes the rest of us, who have worshipped this book, feel really down to see people sink to such deph's. I hope they realize that The Hobbit was written by one of the greatest writers of our time. It is a book that will be rememberd for generations to come and all the people who spat on J.R.R Tolkiens work will be long forgotten. To anyone who is reading this message, pay no attention to those kind of people. Do not let them make you think differently about The Hobbit. Thank you for your time.
Rating: Summary: THE HOBBIT IS FIRST CLASS READING! Review: This is not the best book I have ever read, however it is impossible to put down once opened. I found myself spending every free moment with this book and became completeley absorbed in it's characters. The only strike against "The Hobbit" is that it is way too short. I intend to read much more J. R. R. Tolkien!
Rating: Summary: Read this book. Review: Any one over the age of 16 who has not read or had this book read to them should be shot. I read this book when I was 11 and still have not found a fantasy story to beat it. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, ( the other three books that go with this one) are just as good. Don't pick up another book untill you've checked this book out. Watch the movie of it too. It needs alot to compare with the book, but the animated hobbits are pretty cute.
Rating: Summary: Captivating, magical, A GREAT BOOK!!!! Review: The Hobbit is a superbly written book. It tells the tale of a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who is taken away from his cozy hobbit-hole by a band of dwarves led by Thorin Oakinshield and Bilbo's friend the wizard Gandalf on an adventure to reclaim the dwarves' hord of treasure. The treasure had been stolen from the dwarves by the dragon Smaug. He guards the treasure ever so carefully in the dwarves' once glorious kingdom. Bilbo is appointed as the "burglar". As the company travels towards the Lonely Mountain, they face the constant threat of orcs, trolls, giant spiders, and ultimately, the dragon they seek to slay, to name a few. I first got this book when I was nine years old for my birthday.Ever since I've read it, I have been enchanted. This book is exquisetaly well written.It is almost like you are right there, in Middle Earth watching all that is going on. It is very discriptive and life like. I seriously urge EVERYONE to read this great book.

Rating: Summary: Hobbits, Goblins, Elves and Trolls!!! Review: Since having difficulty visualizing these characters, I find reading this novel a very hard slog. Is it because fantasy is not my favourite genre in literature? And I need to read it as an assignment. Or is it because 'who cares' what happens to this Hobbit. 'The Hobbit' is a classic and maybe with subsequent readings, (many) I'll learn to enjoy the Hobbits adventures and its multi-levelled meanings.
Rating: Summary: THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK! Review: I got the book the Hobbit at my school library for a book report and after the first chapter I loved it. I am 10 years old and now have read this book and the Lord of Rings and the Silmarillion. They were GREAT!
Rating: Summary: Fascinating.....This fantasy book is amazing! Review: I thoght it was hard to read, I wouldn't reckomend it for anyone younger than 11. This book is J.R.R. Tolkien's best book that he ever wrote.
Rating: Summary: Hobbit Adventures Review: The Hobbit was about adventure. What is a hobbit you ask? Well, a hobbit is a dwarf like creature that lives in a hole (that's home for him). Our hero's name is Bilbo Baggins. He sets off for an adventure with many companions. First is a wizard named Gandalf and 12 other dwarfs like himself. Their travels take them everywhere, such as to the Eleven Kingdom and the Pull of Goblins and many, many more. Luckily our hero saves everyone from the evil dragon Smaug. There is more but I don't want to spoil you all. I think people who love to read advertures should pick this book up.
