Summary: For those who thought it was horrible-
Review: Okay, first off, the Hobbit is the FIRST fantasy book ever written. It was a rage at the time, so many many many people thought it was a good book.Its a general rule that everyone has to read the Hobbit at least once in their lifetime. They have to. And for those who thought it was horrible-Youre comparing the first book of the genre to other books, such as the Wheel of Time, The Magic of Recluce, Wizards First Rule, etc etc. Keep in mind, everyone who loves fantasy owes a huge debt of gratitude to Tolkien. Without him, there would be no other books of fantasy that everyone has come to know and love.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: For those of you who have an attention span of two minutes, you might not have found this tale very interesting. However, those of you who were already experienced readers and had well-developed minds found that this book was very entertaining, however "simple" it might be. Tolkien has mastered the English language like no one else.

Summary: this book didn't really grab my attention in the beginning
Review: In this book, The Hobbit, it describes the adventure that is taken by a character named Bilbo Baggins. He wis not an adventurous type, but when 13 adventure seekers come to his door, he has no chance to refuse the offer of looking for adventure. in my personal opinion, i thought that this was a very boring book. it didn't grab my attention as well as i thought it would. I found it to be a great disapointment in the beginning, however, towards the middle it got to be a little more intersting.

Summary: IT'S AN INTOXICATING BOOK YOU CAN NOT PUT DOWN!!!!
Review: I read the book in high school an was captivated by the story.so much so that i read all of the rest of J.R.R.TOLKIENS books now i read them to my children at bed time.Its lets your mind wander an lets you look at life at a childs point of veiw.some new creature or race appears in the book and lets your childs mind wander and think since my childern are so inquizative they want to know what they look like and where there from i tell them to think about it.but she loves the book from gandalf the wizard to the 13 dwarfs.and bilbos furry feet and the action of the orcs goblins wargs and spiders.theres action in almost every chapter a simple book for them to follow at a young age. But a complex story over the rest of the series of books. As bilbos fate is intertwined with gollums b-day present a simple golden ring to the looks of the avarage eye.A must read book for people with children who are captivated by the middle ages.Like a trip to the renaissance festival in there own mind in a way.

Summary: A Most Excellent Book
Review: The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings are my favorite books of all time. You are missing something if you don't love these books. They are charming, quaint, sad, funny and FANTASTIC! I can't even come close to describing how wonderful they are. I first read them when I was in high school in the 70's and have re-read them countless times since. They are awe-inspiring! I deeply regret that Tolkien passed away before I ever got a chance to meet him. I would have done just about anything to talk to the man who wrote these stories...he was a genius! He wrote his own language! He was fabulous! There is also a book that was published of letters he wrote and illustrated for his children from Santa Claus...he would send THEM letters from the North Pole every year. Can you imagine being a child and RECEIVING letters from Santa Claus? What a cool dad! Tolkien changed my life and my way of thinking with his books and I pity anyone who has never entered Middle Earth. I've never read anything that comes close to these books. I think I'll read them again...

Summary: One of the Worst Books I've Ever Read
Review: All I've heard about is how highly acclaimed the book "The Hobbit" is, but I completely disagree. This is one of the most boring, over-rated, and tedious books I have ever read. What even possess a person to say it is the best book they have ever read is beyond me.
Rating:
Summary: This is by far the best book of the genre!
Review: This was not the first fantasy novel I've ever read. It is however by far the best. No where do you find a cast of characters with full fleshed out existences as you do in the Hobbit. I've read this novel four times. And will be reading it within the next year.

Summary: You gotta love the little Hobbit
Review: Fantastic adventure in a world meticulously described by the author. Despite being somewhat linear in the beginning (as expected being it for kids), the last few chapters become quite unpredictable and incorporate situations that a grown up too can enjoy (e.g. the negotiations that take place among Bilbo, Thorin, Bard and the Elvenking at the Lonely Mountain).
