The Hobbit

Rating:
Summary: Gaak!
Review: Friends kept badgering me to read this book and I finally gave in. It was so-so for the first fifty pages, but after that point I felt as if I was slogging through mud. Get to the friggin' mountain already, Bilbo! The Hobbit is little more than a high-falutin' fairy tale with a cheap ending. I feel sorry for anyone who believes it to be "the greatest book ever written" (see other reviews). Truly, you need to widen your reading experience.

Rating:
Summary: Over-rated
Review: The Hobbit is neither a bad book nor a particularly great book. Everyone I have ever met who rabidly endorses the works of Tolkien invariably turns out to have read nothing else in the field of sword and sorcery literature. If you enjoy Tolkein's books, then well and good--but if, like me, you find his works tedious and actually rather trite, then I heartily recommend to you the novels of Michael Moorcock and Fritz Leiber.

Summary: Delightful and Enchanting
Review: The hobbit is defiantly a great book but I really liked The Lord of the Rings better. The hobbit is very important though because it sets the stage for the ring trilogy. By itself it is still an engaging,interesting, and enchanting story.

Summary: This book is a real page turner!!
Review: I recommend The Hobbit to anyone who enjoys a book you can't put down. You should have at least a 6th grade reading level. It is about a hobbit named Bilbo Bagins who is a normal hobit until one day... An unexpected party shows up with lots of dwarves and a wizard named Gandalf. They go on a mission to find the evil dragon Smaug who has stolen treasure from thier ancestors. They are trying to win it back It is the first book of a series of 4. If you read this book you should read the other three called The Lord of The Rings trilogy. J.R.R. Tolkien has created a real page turner because he keeps the suspense going. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. That is why I recommend The Hobbit.

Summary: Horrible Mess!!!
Review: This is definently the absolute worst book I have ever read! The plot, which is almost non-existent, is so rediculous and "out there" that the entire reading experience was boring. I would not ever recommend this book!!
