Rating: Summary: An adventure any adventurer would be jealose of! Review: "The Hobbit" is like those little adventures that you used to create in you mind as a child. Only this is MUCH bigger than that. With dragons, dwarves, hobbits, elves, wizards and more, even the non-imaginative person would love this tale. And with the vivid descriptions Mr. Tolkien added, even the non-imaginative could easily see in his/her mind what was happening to the little hobbit. I'm not giving away the story, just trying to say why I think that this tale is the best
Rating: Summary: Extraordinary peak in to Tolkien's Middle-earth! Review: This fantanstic romp through the wonders of Middle-earth provides a tremendous sense of adventure that only Tolkien can offer. This is an easy-to-read preview of what lay ahead in the Lord of the Rings. A must read for any avid Fantasy reader
Rating: Summary: A MUST read for all fantasy fans! Review: I take time to read this book and the following Tolkien Trilogy
"Lord of the Rings" about every two years and each time I am swept away just like the first time. The characters have distinct and
passionate personalities both good and evil. Each time through,
I am thrust into a world of magnificent lands, strange and unusual
races, and fantastic battles between good and evil.
From Smog, to Gandalf, to Bilbo and Gollum the surprises never
cease. Once I pick the book up, I can't put it down. By the way,
it's about time I read it again.
Rating: Summary: The book even Saddam-Hussein would love! Review: If I would have to wait 1000 years in a Sarlacc pit monster (Star Wars:Return of the Jedi), spend another 1000 years in an antibomb bunker and await underground for the seas to return to their places the book I would take with me would be without doubt "The Hobbit"
Rating: Summary: Gee Whiz Review: From a Letter to JRR Tolkien's son Christopher (JRRT, Letters #87):
Dear Mr Tolkien, I have just finished reading your book The Hobbit for the 11th time and I want to tell you
what I think of it. I think it is the most wonderful book I have ever read. It is beyond description...
Gee Whiz, I am surprised that it's not more popular...If you have written any other books, would you please send me their names?

I thought these extracts from a letter I got yesterday would amuse you. I find these letters which I still occassionally get (apart from the smell of incense which fallen man can never quite fail to savour) make me rather sad. What thousands of grains of good human corn must fall on barren, stony ground, if such a very small drop of water should be so intoxicating! But I suppose one should be grateful for the grace and fortune
that have allowed me to provide evn the drop. God bless you beloved. Do you think The Ring will come off, and
reach the thirsty?
Your own Father.
P.S. It's nice to find that little American boys do really say "Gee Whiz".
