The Hobbit

Rating:
Summary: Fantasy Classic
Review: The most recent reviewer to post for this book was my husband. Life in our house may not be pleasant for some time. I first read Hobbit when I was seven years old, and it launched me into a career studying medieval literature. Don't let my husband fool you--this is a gem!

Summary: Prepare for Boredom and Pedantry
Review: I must confess, I did not like the hobbit until I heard it dramatized, and then only somewhat. The tone of the book treats the reader like he/she is a child, the story is amateurish, although I am told it is symbolic. For real fantasy, this is not it.

Rating:
Summary: An exciting, interesting, adventurous book.

Summary: This book is the best piece of writing ever to be made...
Review: This book is probably one of the greatest novels ever written. J.R.R Tolkein gives you a vivid flowing image of Middle Earth and almost makes you feel as if the book is reality, not fiction. Tolkien's portrays Bilbo Baggins as a fighter who is scared about his journey into the rest of middle earth but also as a hobbit who, unlike most hobbits, is adventurous and is a natural born explorer. I am only 13 now and my father read me the book when I was 7 years old. At one point I wanted to believe that Middle Earth was real. The book has kept me interested for 6 years still and i have read it 5 times. I have also read Lord of The Rings and think that is wonderfully written. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF TOLKIEN'S BOOKS ARE A MUST READ!!! I RECOMEND THEM TO AGES 8 and ABOVE!!!!!

Summary: The Cornerstone of All Fantasy
Review: J.R.R. Tolkien's Hobbit is the greatest book of all time. His originality and ingenuity created a timeless classic that quickly became my favorite book. Not only has it been my favorite book but fantasy writers since have used this book as a reference point for their own. I suggest this book to everyone who is breathing. Read it, read it, read it!

Summary: If you haven't read it, read it. If you have, do it again.
Review: Thank goodness for this version! It's my 3rd reading of THE HOBBIT, and, now that I'm much older and my appreciation of literature has grown, I fell even more for the tale than I have before. Alongside THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, this is easily one of the greatest novels ever written.
