Summary: You won't be able to put this book down!
Review: I am not yet done reading "The Hobbit" but so far it is one of the best books I have ever read. To me it is one of the best books I have ever read. If you are looking for a fantasy adventure over the summer, join Bilbo Baggins and read it! This book you will not be able to put down.

Summary: The book I've read 6 times and still love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The greatest book I have ever read(and I have read a lot). Tolkien gets you caught up in a book to the point where it changes the way you feel. If life is good in the book then my day is a little brighter. The only thing i have ever read that compares to the Hobbit is The Lord of the Rings by the same author. I read this entire series in two months time when I was in the Fifth Grade. If you are looking for a good book, this is one.

Summary: Disappointingly bland...
Review: Now that I have read The Hobbit I must conclude that the reason for its apparent fame and renown was its novelty when it was published. Perhaps this book was the first of the fantasy genre, pioneering paths that would inspire and guide other fantasy writers for decades to follow. However, on top of this I must say that I personally found the book dreadfully unexciting. I am sure that if you have ever played Dungeons and Dragons or any similar RPG game you would have invented a story with a far more suspenseful, coherent, and intriguing plot than this one. Of course, the character of Bilbo Baggins (the hobbit) is cute and quaint to say the least, his character does not exceed the shallow heroes of most average science fiction/fantasy books (you know, that clueless maverick who despite his befuddlement always comes out on top)... Unfortunately, Bilbo's 13 companions are similarly left undeveloped in a story that could have brought out so much in them. I have heard that The Lord of the Rings trilogy is better, so I will read that next, but for now I have no further positive remarks about Mr. Tolkien.

Summary: An excellent book!!! Great!!!
Review: The Hobbit,in my opinion is one of the greatest books of all time;not to mention the best fantasy.Tolkien's description of virtually everything is phenomenal.His characterization of Bilbo,Gandalf and Smaug are excellent. I started and couldn't put it down. After I finished it, I bought The Fellowship of the Ring, and went on to read the entire series.I have yet to read the Simarilion.All in all,I recomend this book to anyone who loves fantasy or just wants to read a great book.

Summary: A wonderful adventure
Review: One of the great works of childrens fiction this century, 'The Hobbit' is as fun and adventuresome to read as an adult as it was when I was a kid. Tolkien's sets his characters on a series of adventures, each more fantastic than the last, until finally reaching the thrilling climax. Dragons, wars, elves, deep forests, high mountains...all the elements are here. Enjoy.

Summary: It was a book fit for a king!
Review: This fantasy novel demonstrated an amount of description, that has not been seen in any other book I've read. I felt like I was there with Bilbo on is fantastic journey. Tolkien included all the mysticle creatures and all are fantises. A battle between good and evil with trolls, wizerds, magisc, and much, much more.

Summary: I feel sorry for you illiterate students.
Review: I have something to say to all of you junior high school students out there who think this book is bad because the sentences are to complex or the paragraphs are to long, etc. etc. THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN FOR YOUNG ADULTS. If you are having a hard time understanding this book, the reason is not that it is poorly written. The reason you are having a hard time understanding it is that you haven't been hitting the books hard enough at school. I first read this book in the 5th grade. I completed reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy by the beginning of the 7th grade. I had no problem at all understanding them. When I didn't know a word, I looked it up in my dictionary. If you are having a hard time now, I feel sorry for you. Do you realize how difficult it will be to get a college education if you are years behind in your reading ability? Oh well, the world needs people to flip hamburgers, wash cars, tend gas stations and stock the shelves at the super market. Don't look now, but I think you might be one of them.

Review: Do your self a favor, buy this book and be introduced to one of the greatest works of fiction of all time. From the man who introduced elves, Middle-Earth and so much more into the world, once you finish this you'll be hooked, and check back here to buy the Lord Of the Rings series!

Summary: The Hobbit is a wonderful book for the active imagination
Review: I have never writen an online review before but after looking at the discraseful reviews of this wonderful and magical book, I had to do it. First I must say this: If you do not like this book you are one of two things, a person who had no childhood or you have totally no imagination. The Hobbit brings curiosity and wonder to our everyday boring live, to think that there might be a world where a kind of adventure or life forse like this does exsist is something to live for. To be a child and think about fairies, goblins,magic,and wizards bring curiostiy to the mind. This book helps you get away for life to a world of wonder and wizardry and brings the joy of being a child to my heart.
