Summary: Timeless Story with Surreal Art
Review: Anyone viewing this review is probably familer with JRR Tolkien's "The Hobbit." In this special addition, all our favorite characters are here. They come alive in this battle between good and evil. The story alone is worth five stars and therefore, this rating system doesn't do this book justice.It is by far one of the most superior achievements in fantasy art: mixed in with a magical story. The art work is surreal and absorbing. Alan Lee did a wonderful job and the art vividly portrays a magical world. It comes to life and the pages jump out at the reader in wonderful splender. An absolute must collecters item.

Summary: The Hobbit, A Wonderful Tale About Bilbo Baggins
Review: The Hobbit is a wonderful book. Although it may be slow between action-packed spots, it is beatifuly written. The Hobbit is about Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit (you are probably wondering what a hobbit is. A hobbit is a little person about half our size, and no beard. They grow leathery thick soles on the bottom of there feet, and grow curly hair on top. Being fat in the stomach, they dress in bright colors, have deep laughs, and enjoy meals very much)who wanted nothing more than to sit at home and enjoy his pipe. When, Gandalf comes by and chooses him for a dangerous adventure. 13 dwarves come by his house for tea, and the next thing poor Bilbo knows, he is being swept out of his comfotable hobbit-hole! He encounters Goblins, Trolls, Giant Spiders, a dangerous dragon, and too much more for a hobbit to handle!

Summary: A good book but....
Review: I was quite a good book a good adventurous book but... It wasn't what I expected of a prequel it had very little to do with the actual Lord of the Rings series except for a couple of chapters which jokingly showed similarities.It also had another feature where it had it being told in a bed time story type of manner almost Roald Dahlish. I did like this...but it sepirated it more and more from the original trilogy and made it quite kiddyish. All in all this is quite good as it's own book. but does not fit as a LOTR prequel.

Summary: Cute!
Review: I very rarely use the adjective "cute" to describe a fantasy book but this was! J.R.R. Tolkein made me fall in love with his little hobbitt and even though the story telling style was different from the modern fantasy I've read, I became used to it and found myself enjoying it. The action and in this novel never ceased to amaze me. Some authors pack in too much, making the story seem like a disorganized whirlwind while other authors remain painfully stagnant throughout the book. Tolkein proves his talent with well paced action along with very good character development. Although "The Hobbitt" is written in a different vein from most books written today, it was refreshing and I found myself adapting to it with pleasure. On to the Lord of the Rings!

Summary: A Classic Tale of Discovery
Review: What a wonderful story! Few tales are better than the classic trip of discovery. Maybe Homer's epic poems started it, more likely it started long before him, a time so old that everything can be both true and not quite true, and men and Gods are interchangeable. This is one of those stories. A quiet Hobbit (Bilbo) lives comfortably (as Hobbits are prone to do), when a Wizard named Gandalf knocks on his door (as wizards frequently do in these kinds of stories). Much to his surprise, Bilbo is soon off on an adventure. Adventures, the things found out (and things found) do two things. They change the adventurer and they change the world around. This adventure does both. The quiet, shy, Bilbo becomes the leader of the adventure (much to his dismay), and as happens in good fantasy adventure stories, the changes have much more far reaching consequences than anyone (even Gandalf) could predict, and then there is the ring tha he finds accidentally while trying to escape from the trolls (but then that is the stuff of many later books). The people of Middle Earth, the trials and tribulations the world since the end of the 'good old days', the trials of the adventurer, and hints of the impact on the rest of the world are wonderfully described in a style that appeals to young and old alike. This is a story in the best story telling tradition. It's fun, it's easy to read, and it's a classic tale of adventure and growth. I'm only sorry I waited so long to read it!!

Summary: Timeless Masterpiece
Review: This novel that the immortal Mr. Tolkien penned will abide in my heart forever. Yes, the reading level is probably 8th grade, this does not negate the fact that this book holds the title of "Timeless Masterpiece". Anyone that reads this book will be transported to an incredible land of magic and wonder. Mr. Baggins is comical yet completely lovable as the reluctant burglar. The scene with Bilbo and Thorin near the end still pulls at my heart after all these years. As a prelude to the fantasy epic "Lord of the Rings" books, it is an essential primer for them. I urge parents to encourage their children to read. This is one of my favorite books and will surely become one of yours and your child(ren).

Summary: A Classic!
Review: An excellent book. I recomend it to anyone and everyone. The Hobbit is the prelude to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Ring. It is a must if you plan to read all of the other books by Tolkien.
