The Hobbit

Rating:
Summary: The Hobbit had little description in it and no main plot.
Review: I believe the Hobbit was not a fabulouse book the way most people rave about it. The action in the book was hiddem by the words the author used and the characters could haver been described better. I reccomend the book to young readers who enjoy fantasy and adventure. I was hoping to read something more like the works of Mr. Pullman. I also didn't like the adittudes of the characters. Overall the book was mediocre.

Summary: don't get me wrong
Review: The hobbit is actually one of my favorite books. Many of the people who are forced to read this book can't understand it because it is above their level of reading. Hey, I can understand you. Wait until you're ready and try it again. Try to be Bilbo, an elf, or a warg or whatever. You can't enjoy a book if you can't understand what is said. You have to wait and try again. Sure it might not be a five star for you(which I thought to make mine)but you will know why teachers get kis to read this book. Very few kids before high school today are ready for the hobbit. this is a shame, but that is the way it is. The hobbit is only A)how good you make it out to be and B)how well you can understand it. Good-Luck *****

Summary: Some people...
Review: Do you find it interesting that all the people giving this excellent book a rating of one have dozens of spelling and grammar errors in their reviews? I think that is just about the least shocking thing I have ever seen. And can anyone tell me where the schools that "make" students read Tolkien are? At my school we have to read crap like "The Scarlet Letter". I am jealous of you people who were "forced" to read this book! In the sixth grade my teacher suggested that I read "The Hobbit" and L.O.T.R. Since then I have been a Fantasy MANIAC! I followed it up with Terry Brooks and Death Gate and I haven't stopped yet. I owe it all to The Hobbit! How could anyone not like this book?

Summary: One of the greatest books ever!
Review: As a prelude the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, it tells the many(and I mean many) adventures of Bilbo Baggins. In this book you dont know what will happen next. Great for teens to adults. Tolkein was a great author!

Summary: Whoa.......
Review: This book had me totally absorbed. Great detail, descriptions, and enough plot to let me say that this is one of the best books ever written. They don't make books like it these days. 12 dollars isn't enough to get a good copy of this book. It's worth a lot more, if you ask me.

Summary: The Gateway to another World in literature
Review: This book was the one that introduced me to a whole new genre of literature. It was the gateway to the likes of Donaldson, Eddings, Kerr, Feist and many others the sort of stuff which I specifically look for when I want to read something relaxing. Tolkien has managed to transport the reader to a completely different world populated with absolutely delightful characters. I have read it countless times in countless situations, in an airliner crossing the Atlantic, in the centre of Picadilly Square, on a bus, on the underground, in bed, by the campfire, during examination time, wether I'm exhausted or bristling with energy... this is stuff that anyone can enjoy at any time and in any surroundings or situation. This sort of literature is a good lesson for all of us to stop taking ourselves and our petty concerns too seriously. It teaches us to be children once again and to experience joy at simple things. Everyone should read it at least once, especially adults !

Summary: If you don't read this...you will miss a wonderful thing!!!
Review: From the songs of the Hobbits, Dwarves, and Elves, to the evil poetry of Smaug, the Hobbit can catch you singing the songs before you know it. The Riddles will leave you wondering. But best of all, this book will leave you in awe. The greatness of Tolkien shines through. READ THIS BOOK OF ADVENTURE AND FANTASY. ENJOY!!!

Summary: Great book.
Review: If you hate The Hobbit, to you I say this, "Aha ahA ha-ah hehehe MORON."

I think this is one of the great books written this century and is an excellent prelude to The Lord of the Rings.
