Summary: The Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit is the best book I have ever read.Everyword explains the action so clearly that you almost feel you are there. The best parts of the book are at the lake of Gollum, the house of Beorn, the lonely mountain and the return home. A fantastic book you say? Oh,yes. I have no rejections against that!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fantastic read, even for non-fantasy fans!
Review: I read this book, having heard so much good being said about the Lord of the Rings, despite having dismissed the fantasy genre as kiddy reading. Besides the book is much thinner than the daunting thick volume of the latter! The book has all the ingredients of a sure winner, regardless of genres - humor, action and emotion. I loved it so much that I am actually now keen on reading the Lord of the Rings, thick volume and all. Count me in as a fantasy fan - this books has won me over!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Priceless Treasure
Review: Surely, it's been scientifically verified that anyone who gives The Hobbit (and the rest of the series) ONE measly star is, simply, wrong. Tolkien's Middle Earth is rich and perfectly self-contained. He never violates the parameters he establishes for this fantasy world, which he fills with memorable characters and intriquing plot turns. What great escapist literature! I only hope you students who've expressed disdain for this book will later reconsider, and give it another reading. I suspect the circumstances (required reading, homework assignments) may have had more to do with your negative regard for the book than any shortcoming in the storytelling. Consider the (almost) universal positive regard for Tolkien's work. Sometimes the hype is warranted.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boo Ya
Review: "The Hobbit" is the best book that I have ever read in my life and I think that everybody should read it(especially Mr. Jeff Barber). Everything about this book is awesome. It sets the standards for all fantasy books, and I wish that J.R.R. Tolkien was still alive and writing books now, then this would be a great age of writing and book sales would go up, alot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hobbit
Review: This is the best J.R.R Tolkien ever written. Forget Lord of the rings, this is much better. It contains excitement and something so unusual for Tolkien: Humour.

So read this good book. And if you wants to read the Lord of the rings you most read this first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE HOBBIT
Review: Tolkien's "The Hobbit" helped break the mold and open up unknown doors. He presented many with text and style of writing that was very uncommon. Yet, it was accepted widely because of it's way it allows the reader to close their eyes and explore an adventurous fantasy. My favorite character described were the Hobbits. They were very clearly painted in her book as "stout and stocky." Tolkien's experimented with an "unknown" type of literature and suceeded! This is an excellent book!

Summary: the most boring fantasy book i have ever read!
Review: i read this book in my seventh grade english class, and personally, i wouldn't recomend it to ANYONE! maybe it is jsut me who doesn't like fantasy novels, but i mean, seriously....the hobbit? gandalf? they were such boring characters, it was as if a ten year old coul've made up these characters. i have written many essays on the hobbit about bilbo baggins, and that he is a heroic character,but to be honest, i would NEVER do it again. it was a waste of my time to read such a bad book! but if u do want to read it, then all i can say is, you will have to see for yourself what u will think of it! enjoy?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Hobbit
Review: I never was interested in fantasy until I read, "The Hobbit". I think that it is book that should be read by middle graders. It gives them the opportunity to step out of reality and broaden their imagination. Although, it is a lengthy book, it should be recommened to those book lovers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Hobbit
Review: I have never been a fantasy lover until I read, "The Hobbit". As I read the book, I actually forgot where I was because it was so interesting. I loved the sarcastic vocablulary that J.R.R. Tolkein used throughout the book. This is an excellent book for middle grade students to read. It gives them the chance to step out of reality and broadens their imagination.

Rating: 5 stars
