Rating: Summary: This Book is one of the most interesting book I've read. Review: This is one of the best books I've read. I am twelve years old and I love to read. I've read more than half of the books under Newberry Honor and Medal books list. I think I am a lot alike the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins,becausejust like Bilbo Ineed someone to take me, show me, and help me free the me inside.
Rating: Summary: The yardstick Review: For over thirty years The Hobbit has been the yardstick by which all other works of epic fantasy would be measured. This tale and its sequel, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, define fantasy fiction. This is easily one of the greatest pieces of literature written this century. A must for all adventure lovers.
Rating: Summary: Simply Amazing! Review: The Hobbit is an excellent book. Everyone should read it. Even I, a 12 year old has read the book. You just can't put it down. There's is one adventure after the other. J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is a true master piece that will not be forgotten. But the adventures don't just end in this book. This is only the beginning. Next is the Lord of the Rings. Named BOOK OF THE CENTURY. READ ALL OF THEM, including all the Middle Earth Series
Rating: Summary: Absolutely loved it! Review: It is beyond me how anyone could not enjoy this book! It has it all! From dwarves to goblins, and dragons to elves. From cover to cover a truly enjoyable journey.
Rating: Summary: It was captivating and it almost addictive.READ IT! Review: J.R.R. Tolkien has made his best work in The Hobbit. It was almost addictive how he sets the mood for the next chapter. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Bilbo is detailed so well it is just like a movie and his description of the characters is astounding. The story just hooks you from the time of the party at Bilbo's home. I loved it and would recommend it for anyone with a sense of magination and adventure.
Rating: Summary: Favorites! Review: One of the best fantasy book ever written in earth. The book pulled on me for several times. I read this book in less than 12 hours. Mr. Tolkien was probably in a mystical mood when he wrote this exciting book. Kids will definitely enjoy this book more than anything else.
Rating: Summary: absoulutley great Review: I am sure you have either heard of or read J.R.R. Tolkien's great fantasy classic The Hobbit, but I will tell you about it anyways. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit(smaller, chubbier folk who have six meals a day, and have very hairy feet) who is living a very easy, relaxing life in his home at Bag End. One fine morning while Bilbo is puffing his smokepipe, the mysterious wizard Gandalf comes along with a band of 13 homeless dwarves asking Bilbo to be the fourteenth member of their adventure through dangerous forests, giant spiders, menacing trolls, savage wolves, and other unknown dangers! Bilbo is persuaded to go and finally it will be Bilbo alone to face the fear of an entire countryside, the great dragon Smaug! J.R.R. Tolkien brilliantly takes you through a marvelous fantasy world in Middle Earth as Bilbo and friends go on their epic adventure. There are plenty of amazing settings and wild creatures. He keeps you on the edge of your seat as Bilbo and company pull off one miracle after another. The copy of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien that I read was published in 1982 by Ballentine Books. It is meant for older readers, but I think younger people would get a kick out of it also. I give this book a 10 and anyone who wants to read an excellent book should read it.
Rating: Summary: An Excellent Tale for Those With a Love of Adventure! Review: Although some denounce the importance of this book, perhaps they've grown up a little too much, it is an excellent read for the young and old alike. A wonderous tale of Bilbo, the hobbit, and his adventures outside his little home in the Shire. There are a lot of messages in this book, obvious and hidden. A dragon, wizard, dwarves and magic, what's not to like.
Rating: Summary: One of the best books written in the Fantasy genre Review: The Hobbit is the must read absolutely necessary beginning to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is an enchanting book that anyone can enjoy if they give it time. I am reading the book for the second time now and it is as good as the first time. The content of the Hobbit is always surprising and incredibly interesting. Give your TV a break and jump-start your imagination for a change. The Hobbit is definitely a Fantasy classic and a book that you have to read and take time with to enjoy.
Rating: Summary: A must read for fiction and adventure lovers! Review: THe Hobbit is what started my love for books. It wasn't a "he went to the store" book. There were adventures at every turn. In fact I read it in four days because I couldn't put ot down! I introduced my friend to it and she said she got hooked on the first page because of the details and description. Another one of my friends, who saw the movie awhile back said she doesn't remember much, but of what she does remember, she loved those parts. I recommend to anyone who likes reading about elves and magic, to read this classic by J.R.R. Tolkien.
