Summary: No praise is enough
Review: I cannot speak highly enough of the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings. I have read many of the classics, such as Beowulf, Frankenstien, and Fahrenheit 451. As great as these books are, I believe that Tolkien's works rise far above. The Hobbit is a lighter adventure story, suitable for children, though even adults will find it a superb story. Tolkien's words paint a vivid picture of Middle Earth - of its beauty and its darkness. He does such an excellent job of portraying the characters that by the end of the book, you would be able to predict how any of them would react in a given situation. I believe that this is a book which would appeal even to people who think of fantasy literature as wierd and far-fetched. After you have read the Hobbit, which everyone capable of breathing should be required to do, run out and get Lord of the Rings and read it. This is a continuation of the story began by The Hobbit, and is a much darker tale. In L.O.T.R. we catch a glimpse of the deep and rich history of Middle Earth and its people. If you have not read any of these, then, by all means, stop what you're doing, order these books, shut yourself in a room, and don't come out until you've finished. You will be a better person because of it. Are you still reading this!? Weren't you listening? GO GET THESE BOOKS AND READ THEM NOW!!! You're only hurting yourself by delaying it, you know!

Summary: Great! 2 thumbs up!
Review: Okay, I think this is the 2nd best book in history! (The best being the lord of the rings). This thing says that you can read the lord of the rings without reading this. Untrue. The person who wrote that is a ben sova. I saw the cartoon movie at 6, and read the book all in 1 day when I was 7. Unbeliviable? I learned to read at the age of 2! The book was so good, I coulnd't stop reading. The book was rather short, compared to my lastest reading at that time: Ivanhoe! 556 pages! Rather good book.

Summary: A Must-Read
Review: I thought that The Hobbit was an excellent book. Although some people might think it is hard to read because of the older-fashioned writing, it was an excellent story. It had a great plot, and it seemed to me that a new surprise awaited you at every turn of the page. I thought the ending was sad, but, all in all, it is a must-read book, especially for younger adults,like teenagers.

Summary: Kewl Book...
Review: I first picked this book up at the school library. Later that day I started reading it in class, and found it extremely interesting.
I liked the way J.R.R. Tolkien writes. He doesn't just simply tell the tale, he describes it and makes you feel like you are part of it. I felt like Bilbo Baggins from the beginning to the end, and even pretended I was there, solving the riddle(which I did try to do), talking to the dragon, and even climbing the mountains.
I've often heard good reports and bad reports of this book. When I found it in the library, I thought what I thought every time I see a book I've heard of, "Well, I'll give it a try." And through thinking that, I've probably read as many wonderful books as simply terrifying and horrid books. Through that also, I have found out what makes a book good, and what makes a book uninteresting to the reader...Since then, I've also noticed an improvement in my own books and novels. With every good author and good book I am encouraged more to write, since I suddenly pick up another technique of writing. Tolkien has taught me the most, and I never will forget that. All I hear is, "Oh, I read that book when I was ten. It was okay." I am rather disappointed that was all they to say about a masterpiece of a book. I could encourage so greatly anyone to read and think about what they read here in this book, if they have read it yet. Above all the different types of books, I love fantasy the most. It gives me such an imagination, and also such a tale to think about or add to on boring days. My goal as a writer is to one day, become half as good as Tolkien is, for I think I could not become any better.

Summary: A great classic with delightful characters.
Review: A cheery hobbit named Bilbo is confronted by a wandering wizard and a truckload of dwarves, then suddenly finds himself trekking across the wilderness in a search for a dragon's treasure! A classic if there ever was one. The ironic adventures and exciting creatures give this fairy tale a very enjoyable edge. One can never grow tired of reading this novel, and it is a great book for all ages. I salute Tolkien for his masterpiece!

Summary: The Hobbit
Review: This is an exciting book of magical lands with the theme of good vs. evil. With strange characters and magic implements the story came alive with the description of J.R.R. Tolkein. Travel through miles of wide open space and test your abilities and strength with obstacles of the unknown in The Hobbit. -Ross Coe (10 years old)

Summary: a young person's introduction to european style fantasy
Review: i first read the hobbit when i was 11. i have since read it 6 more times, and will eventually read it to my children and theirs. the hobbit is for young people (<=20). mr tolkien's other books are not, so don't expect the same pace from them. if you like fantasy, this is one of the good ones. if not, stay away; it's that simple. a plethora of original ideas and interesting characters, the hobbit is a refreshing break from the modern drivel mass produced by publishers today. it was nice to lose myself in a book without a hidden agenda for a change. -ok
