Summary: A pretty good book.
Review: The hobbit bilbo, the wizard gandalf and a bunch of dwarves went on an adventure to recover the dwarves' treasure. I liked this book a lot but some of the words were difficult to pronounce. I like adventure books and this was one of the best ones I've read.

Review: The introduction to the trilogy "The lord of The Rings" is truly a masterpiece. The best book of the century. I read it in 3 days. The adventurews of Bilbo Baggins are exhilerating.

Summary: This might just be the greatest piece of literature ever.
Review: Thought Shakespeare wasn't exciting? Found War and Peace too long? Do yourself a favor and read Tolkien's The Hobbit. Discover the magic of Gandalf, wisdom of Thorin and Bard, comedy of Bombur, evil of Smaug and the goblins, and, most importantly, the hidden courage of Bilbo Baggins. It's all in the Hobbit.

Summary: A true masterpiece, but unfortunately often misunderstood
Review: I find it interesting to note the similarities between the reviews of "Ender's Game" by Orson Card, and Tolkien's "The Hobbitt." For both books, the vast majority of reviewers gave them a ten, with a small (but vocal!) majority with... differing opinions. For those who read "The Hobbitt" in their English classes and were bored, I feel pity. It is obvious that these young readers did not understand a word that Tolkien wrote. "The Hobbitt" was the vehicle that launched the entire genre of fantasy, and when viewed with that in mind, it becomes evident as to why "The Hobbitt" has a great deal in common with many other works of fantasy. To put it plainly, other writers have taken Tolkien's ideas, and put them to their own use. For those who had difficulty with the place names, just remember that Tolkien was a master of the English language -- don't expect yourself to understand everything he wrote, especially if you're still learning about the language. If you are one of those who thought Tolkien's grammar poor, then... well, you're just wrong. You have to know the rules in order to break them well, and Tolkien most certainly knew the rules. Finally, for those who simply found "The Hobbitt" boring, I would suggest that you read it when you are older; perhaps then you will begin to fathom the depth and richness of Tolkien's world.

Summary: One of the best fantasy minded stories I have ever read
Review: I could not believe the content. At first I was stunned at the development, but as the pages went by and the lives opened up before me, I became more and more involved in the book. So much to a point that I literally could not put it down for fear that time, in the book would continue to pass, even though I wasn't reading. I recommend that if you like Tolkien, Jordan, or even awesome fantasy, then you have to read The Hobbit.
