Summary: The Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit

Bilbo's adventure begins with a meeting from Gandalf the wizard. Gandalf tells Bilbo he is going to have visitors. Pretty soon dwarves start showing up at his door, seven total,coming in pairs and the last one by himself. Then Gandalf arrives and they set out on a adventure. They encounter everything from goblins to orgs, to spiders. Bilbo himself is a hobbit. Hobbits are short stalky beings. They are known for there generosity and love for stories. Gandalf leads them through most of their adventure, coming and going as he pleases. eventually the group ends up at a great hollowed out mountain. A dragon lives inside. Bilbo is able to steal part of the dragons treasure with a magic ring he picked up on his travels. The ring makes him invisible. This is a great book, it is the first book in a great series of four books. The first is the The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Twin Towers, And the Return Of The King.

Summary: The Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit may be the most thrilling book I've ever read. I still wonder how J.R.R. Tolkiens thought of so many marvelous creatures, characters, and adventures, and weaved it in with wonderful writing and words. In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is a very lovable Hobbit who goes on a very perilous adventure with a party of dwarves. It involves goblins, giant spiders, a dragon named Smaug, and many other spectacular things. If you love adventure you must read this book, or else you're missing out on a journey you'll never forget.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent! A first rate adventure!
Review: A great and fasinating account of a hobbit (a beardless type of a dwarf with leathery feet) going on the adventure of a lifetime meeting up with some very strange and interesting characters.

The novel is very interesting and I recommend it to everybody. Kids and adults will enjoy this absolutely ravishing adventure alike.

J.R.R. Tolkien is the best fantasy novelist ever. His books have gained ample recognicion for a very good reason.

This is one of my favorite books (if not my favorite) and I can't wait to finish reading the Lord of the Rings.

Summary: This book kicks
Review: The Hobbit is the best book ever. A mixture of fantasy and action, Tolkien wrote this book perfectly. For all of the people out there that thought this book was a failure because it was too hard to read, tellin you, It was my favorite in 4th grade. And if you think it was hard to keep up with the characters, you really need to reread it again. This book is about a Hobbit who goes off on an adventure with 13 dwarfs and a Wizard, and faces many challenges through the way, including wolves, goblins, spiders, elves, men, and a huge dragon. It is the best book in the world, and you should read it. Stop reading this review and READ IT!

Summary: STUPIDEST BOOK IN THE WORLD
Review: one day while sitting in my class at school, we watched a movie. instead i chose to read The Hobbit. it should have been good right? after all...it is so famous. i soon learned i was wrong. what a horrible book. do not read it. forget about all the other reviews. they just think bilbo the bimbo is hot. (however they could think that...) STUPID BOOK! id rather be forced to read the story of how grass was given the name grass.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deceptively Simple
Review: The Hobbit is always a refreshing read for me, as Tolkien uses a simpler style of writing than he uses in the Silmarillion or in the Lord of the Rings. But even though the prose may be simpler, the underlying tale scratches the surface of Middle Earth, evoking many deep themes that are later unveiled in the later books.

I like the Hobbit for its simplicity and its depth, and the beautiful illustrations by Alan Lee complement this edition handsomely.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Only Fantasy You Will Ever Need
Review: Every fantasy story you ever read will sound like a knockoff ofThe Hobbit--so read The Hobbit and don't bother with the rest. (Okay,then read the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But that's it.) As a kid Iread it about 20 times, and since then I've read it about 5 more--I'm coming due for it again!

The Hobbit is the ultimate classic adventure tale: a mysterious wizard picks an unsuspecting hobbit to accompany a band of greedy dwarves, as they go to steal their gold from Smaug the dragon--and to kill Smaug, if possible. They journey through forests and under mountains, battling goblins and hobnobbing with elves, until finally they reach the lonely mountain where Smaug awaits.

``The eagles are coming! The eagles are coming!''

Summary: The Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit was a great book. It's for people who like fantasys. The hobbit (Bilbo Baggins) is sitting quietly at home when these dwarves walk in and they have a party; that's where the suspense begins! The dwarves take the hobbit across the land to Mirkwood, so they can fight the dragon. A lot of weird things start to happen in Mirkwood, and they meet a couple of friends along the way. The woods seem never-ending. Will they ever get out to defeat the the dragon? Find out by reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein.
