Summary: A Wonderful Fantasy Ride
Review: I recently found out why The Hobbit is considered a classic. This book was written extremely well and takes you into the fantastic and wonderfuly world of Bilbo Baggins. You really start to believe that these people actually lived and all the things that happen seem as real as the things that happen in real life. I loved the book and I highly recommend it for anyone of any age.

Summary: Excellent. A timeless, unwavering symphony of words.
Review: You know, I could not say anything about this book a thousand other reviewers and critics, most better writers than I, have not. The Hobbit is a very good book and that is the truth. To read it is to be bound by some mystical, unseen magic that transgresses times itself before the final page is turned. Then, my friend, it makes you weep for want of more. In short: a good book everyone, both young and old, should read.

Summary: Magnificent
Review: J.R.R. Tolkien is an extraordinary author. "The Hobbit" is one of the most intriguing and imaginative books I have read. Tolkien vividly describes the journey Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves must face. His words make you feel as if you were traveling the journey along with Bilbo and the dwarves.

Summary: The Hobbit
Review: You are probably familiar with the Lord of the Rings series. But, do some of you wonder where it all started. For example, where did Bilbo find the ring? Well you're questions will be answered when you read the Hobbit. This is the exciting prequel to the Lord of the Rings. We meet Bilbo Baggins a hobbit who is thrust into an adventure with a band of dwarves and the wizard Gandalf. Gnadalf tells the dwarves that Bilbo is an excellent thief and so he must go on this journey. The dwarves seek the treasure that was stolen by the dragon Smaug. The dwarves are led by Thorin Oakenshield. Along the way they meet trolls, goblins, elves, and the dragon Smaug. This is the first book where Gollum is first introduced and where Bilbo finds the ring and uses it. This book is a masterpiece that draws you in to every battle and makes you believe you are part of the story. If you loved the Lord of the Rings you will certainly love every action paked page of the Hobbit. Tolkien has proven once again that he is the master of Middle-Earth.

Summary: The wonderful Prelude to "The Lord of the Rings"
Review: This is a great book. My mother used to read this book to me as a child, and I also used to watch the cartoon almost everyday. I recently picked up a copy of this book just to read for fun and I loved it as much as I always have."The Hobbit" is about Bilbo Baggins of the shire. One day he is disrupted by a band of dirty dwarves and the famous wizard Gandolf. This band is looking for a burglur to travel with them to reclaim the dwarves old kingdom and fortune from the dragon Smaug. Chapter by Chapter find Bilbo and his band of Dwarves facing a new problem. It is in this book that The one ring that rules all, or the ring of power is found by Bilbo, and starts the wonderful story of "The Lord of the Rings". This book is wonderful. Do not pass it up. Do keep in mind before reading this book though, that Tolkien wrote this as a book for children. There is a lot of singing and whatnot in here that can get a little annoying at times. But other than that it is a good story. The plot is very uncomplicated, as it should be for children, but dont let this turn you away. I would highly advise this book before you dive into the Lord of the Rings.

Summary: A Classic Reborn
Review: This novel itself is one of the greatest works in the fantasy realm to date. This actual Leatherette Collector's Edition makes it even that more special. There are a few illustrated bits in this version of "The Hobbit" and those, except the Smaug renditioning, are very well done. For fans of just "The Hobbit" or fans of the entire Middle Earth works, this is something that you cannot pass up.

Summary: A Good Book The Hobbit
Review: You can not put this book down! For there is a lot of action and a favorite wizard Gandalf. You know from the movie "Lord of the Rings."
Well I give The Hobbit four stars out of five. My reasoning for this is because some parts get dall and you can't wait untile it is over; but then agian some parts you can not put this book down because of all the action.
The Hobbit is like a spin off of the book "The Lord of the Rings," because it has Bilbo Baggins going on this crazy adventure with the dwarfs to get reveng on a dragon. On the way to persue the dragon they have absocales to face in which caves to exploer and such. Well I enjoyed The Hobbitand if you pick it up and read it am sure you will like it too.

Summary: "The Hobbit"
Review: The book called"The Hobbit," is a well written mythical adventure story filled with amazing detail, but it may not be for everyone. It is definately for people who can get deep into fantasy and like to use their imagination. It is the stunning prequel to the Lord of the Ring trilogy and an excellent book that can be used as an introduction to the world of middle earth. This is the story where it all began. Mr. Bilbo Baggins strikes out with his dwarves companions on a mission to retrieve dwarvish gold from the evil dragon Smaug. Along the way, they encounter more than their fair share of adventure, which includes Beron the Bear-Man, Gandolf, elves, trolls and even giant spiders. Not only is this book by istelf a good book, it it will also help you understand the trilogy better. It helps to explain how a simple Hobbit is transformed from a shy non adventurous person to someone who fights goblis, trolls and dragons. It also helps to explain how this shy Hobbit comes in contact with the dreaded ring of power. If you are a lover of adventure, travel, mystery and magic, I strongly suggest that you read J.R.R. Tolkien's, "The Hobbit". You can go on many great adventures, cross mountains over the lush lands of Rivendell, and the dark forest of Mirkwood. J.R.R. Tolkien creates vivid pictures that make everything seem so real. You can imagine yourself anywhere the author puts you. If you have read the Lord of the Ring series, but haven't read "The Hobbit", I would strongly recommend this book. Even if you have only seen the movies, this book will help the whole series come to life.
