Summary: One of the best books ever
Review: I'm just going to say this is the second best book I have ever read (Lord of The Rings being the best). And he who says otherwise should be smacked in the face.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I thought that this was the best book I have ever read
Review: The Hobbit is the best novel I have ever had the privilage of reading. I read a lot. I guess you could call it a hobby. Therefor, I am well versed in literature, and The Hobbit is in a class of it's own. I could reread it again and again and it will always fascinate me. The story of Bilbo and his Dwarven companions will forever have it's own place in my heart and the hearts of grown-ups and children alike. If you never read this book I truly believe that your life will never be complete. Mine wouldn't be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Books, and author, but that isn't why I am writing.
Review: Okay, here is my problem with reviewers. 1) Stop with the spoilers people!! Some readers would like to read the story without knowing what happens at the end. 2)Nearly every author and/or book is compaired to Tolkien. He may be the 'Father of Fantasy' but he isn't all there is to offer. Not every book is written to parrallel middle-earth and the books Tolkien created. I know that some of you die hard Tolkien fans out there are probably ready to kill me now for saying that, but it's true. Yes people, there is a thing as creativity. Authors tend to use it every now and again. And yes, there are simularities between every book and the Lord of the Rings, if you look for them at least. But there are also similarities between Lord of the Rings and older books like The Odyssey. Or any other book you can think of. But why look for them? It just destroys your enjoyment of the book you are comparing it to. If you read every book expecting it to be like another one then you won't catch on to what the author has in mind. To all you unenlightened people out there, get a life, not every book is a Hobbitt want to be. And not every author is a Tolkien want to be. Stop bitching and maybe you might actually enjoy a book or two.

Summary: it's a tight ol book, NOT. JUST KIDDING
Review: This book is about a hobbit named biblo Baggins. He decides to go on a adventure with a trrop full of dwafs. They are ambushed by trolls and saved bythe wizard Gandalf. Later while in the misty mouantains they were captured by goblins and took them to their king. Soon the wizard saved them again by the wizard and his magicaal sword Glamdring,The foe-hammer. One of the most feared foes of the Goblins {even though it's a sword}. then retuned Orcristto thorin the leader. While they were escaping Biblo found the ring of power. After they escaped they were attacked by the goblins and wolves then saved by eagles. Then they arrived at the loly mountain and stole one of Smaug's jewl's which broght his anger on them. Then he attacked the island city and was killed by the black arrow.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Charming
Review: Charming is, I think, the word that describes The Hobbit best. It is a novel intended for children (not children too young, obviously), and so one should not expect too much serious writing in the book; but even so, it has a magic all its own, quite different than its sequel, The Lord of the Rings. Bilbo Baggins is a character you get to know and love, and even feel sorry for, throughout the book. The Dwarves are amusing, too, and Gandalf is one of Tolkien's most unforgettable characters. If you want to read a book that led to the definitive novel in fantasy writing, a book with endless charm and humour, read The Hobbit. It's short, it's easy to read, and it's fun.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very imaginative and suspenseful book!
Review: I have to admit, I would have never given the Hobbit a chance if I hadn't been assigned a book report in which I'd have to read a fantasy book. I wasn't very familiar with fantasy books, so my teacher suggested to me the Hobbit, promising that I'd never want to put it down. Sure enough, she was right. As I read into the book, I was amazed at the descriptive words and adventurous plot! Because the beginning and closing dragged on quite a bit, I rated this book a four star. Overall, the book was one of a kind!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's Terrific!!
Review: This adventure is an intricate web of adventure where one adventure leads into the next. Escaping from goblins, being rescued by giant eagles, killing dragons, and protecting a hoard of treasure may seem like a typical adventure story. This story will tingle the senses and twist your imagination to new heights and leave you wanting more and more! In a lifeless, boring, adventure-less, hobbit town with a shy, dull, adventure-less hobbit came an adventure of all adventures, one that couldn't be turned down. The shy hobbit meets a wise, risky, well-known wizard who talks the hobbit to throw a party and the hobbit accepts. At the party, the hobbit meets thirteen dwarves, who turn out to be his traveling companions and each have different traits and personalities which both aid and the hurt the friends on their journey. The friends start on their journey and they must travel through dangerous mountains filled with deadly goblins. There the hobbit proves his usefulness and saves the dwarves from the goblins from there on the hobbit pulls the dwarves and sticky and dangerous situations. This book is terrific. J.R.R. Tolkien's writing is detailed and flowing that lets the reader feel like he or she is actually in the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a good sense of imagination and adventure. This is not just for kids it can be just as exciting for adults too. I encourage anybody who has read this book to read the other books in the series.

Summary: Still the BEST after all these years!!!!
Review: I first read The Hobbit 20-25yrs. ago and, to this day, I still have not only The Hobbit,but also the trilogy, The Silmarillian and The Tolkien Companion prominently and proudly displayed on my bookshelf. I'm still enthralled by the books just as my 4 and a half year old neice is when her daddy reads to her about bilbo and his adventures that lead him far away from his comfortable Hobbit hole.J.R.R.Tolkien is not only a genious but also a masterful magician who has captivated generations and led them on fantastic journeys of the imagination.This is a must read for all ages.
