Summary: Take a journey into this book!
Review: Horrendus beasts, enchanted forests, bountiful treasures, this book has 'em all! The Hobbit is a great book about Bilbo Baggins' adventure to help some dwarves regain their treasure and land, gaurded by Smaug the dragon. Along the way they encounter a great many different beings, some friendly, some not. I liked the part about how Bilbo's great-great-granduncle who, by knocking off a goblin kings head, won a battle and created the game of golf at the same time. This book is a wonderful read for almost any person.

Summary: One of the Best Ever
Review: I first read this book in 7th grade, and I find myself rereading it about every three years (I am now 30). This book and the trilogy that follows are are nothing short of brilliant.

Summary: The Hobbit is a GREAT book for both old and younger readers.
Review: The Hobbit, a fantastic fantasy tale, is great for both older and younger readers. The author really knows what keeps the pace as well as the interest. I was recommended the book by a friend, who has also read the Lord of the Rings. Since I have now entered Tokein's realm, I have enjoyed it ever so much, I fully plan to read the Lord of the Rings as well. The Hobbit would make a great bedtime story reading (not all at once, of course) as well as a good high school or even college literature class assignment. The Hobbit is definately a must-read for all Fantasy readers - chocked full of elves, dwarves, trolls, spiders, eagles, goblins, and shape changers. Five stars and bursting near six.

Summary: A forced comment
Review: Five stars are five stars. I could hardly say anything somebody has not exclaimed yet. The Hobbit is simply one of my most precious ("Precioussss...") possessions.What I actually want to say is : teachers who force their students to read a book like this (or any book whatever), should be hung, drowned and burned on the stake. All at once. The best way to make somebody hate a book is to give it to him/her as a compulsory assignment. I myself have experienced this several times, and I pity all the people who estimated The Hobbit low for this reason. If you had come across it without being compelled by somebody else, I guess your opinion would have been quite different...

Summary: Mystical, enchanting, funny
Review: The Hobbit is a kinda fairytale about Bilbo, the hobbit, and his journeys throughout the world, to retreive the dragon's treasure. He meets many strange and wonderful characters along the way, each adding a twist to the story. I recommend it to 12- year olds.

Summary: Good, but not as good as LOTR
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but I thought it was a little too lighthearted and carefree for a book of that type. LOTR takes on the role of dark and ominous settings where it is needed much better.
Rating:
Summary: REALLY good
Review: Actually I want to give it four and a half stars. It isn't the best book Tolkien has written, but it still is a masterpiece. The best book(s) I think Tolkien has written are the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Still I recommend everyone to read it.

Summary: Childish
Review: This Book was just too childish. I Heard that it was a timeless classic, so i payed a whopping $12 which could have easily better spent. For an adult to enjoy this novel is just beyond my belief. I am 14 myself and after reading it it was plainly ment for parents to read to their 6 or 7 year olds as they fall asleep. With such childish names almost always ryming with another (example: Dwalin and Balin, and also the very childish name of Bilbo) I would only purchase this book if i had someone i knew about 6-8 years old just to read it to them

Summary: I only gave it one star because zero wasn't an option.
Review: Why was this book written? I was forced to read it against my will by my english teacher. Why it is a "classic," I'll never know. There are WAY too many characters and place names. THe guy who wrote this really needed to get a life. Perhaps I'd have liked it better if I hadn't had a Stephen King book sitting on my desk begging to be read. I thought that once I'd finished it that I was through, but I wasn't so lucky. My teacher then forced us to read the first part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. That book is even worse than this one, but that's a whole other review. So, in conclusion, I beg of you, whatever you do STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!
