Summary: There should be an 11 on your scale!!
Review: I think that "The Hobbit" is a great book, even when you read it over and over and over again. It was really exciting, and I advise everyone to read this book NOW! I liked it so much, I went on to read the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, (which is also fantastic), and other Tolkein books. On a scale of 1 to 10, "The Hobbit" deserves an 11! Everyone needs to read "The Hobbit" ASAP!!

Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER
Review: This is the best fiction book ever written. If you don'tbelieve me, read it for yourself and you will see what I mean. Nothingelse comes close to being so involving with characters, settings, and plot. I have read this book more than 50 times over the years and enjoyed more every time. This book is truly a classic.

Summary: Before there was Star Wars...
Review: I could hear his thoughts as we left the school book fair:"Stupid mother. She only reads boring stuff. She wouldn't knowa good book if it fell off the shelf and hit her on the head." I refused to let him pick out a book that was written from a screen play and that he had already seen in the original form...a movie. I had rejected requests for Star Wars and Warriors of Virtue, and had countered with such authors as Ray Bradbury, Ursula L'Guin and Lloyd Alexander,to no avail.
"Are you more interested in space or dragons?" I finally asked in frustration.
"Dragons."
"Well, as I remember, there's no dragon quite like Smaug. Before there was a Star Wars, there was The Hobbit, and if you don't like it, we'll get another book."
Disgruntled, he suffered through the first chapter. I coerced him into the second chapter, and now I can't get him, or his two brothers, to go to bed without reading a chapter. I don't know what I would do without the next three books. Moms aren't so dumb after all.

Summary: A classic fantasy novel
Review: J.R.R. Tolkien is the grandfather of the fantasy novel as is clearly noted reading this book. He creates a world of peoples, places, and things, complete with their own languages, histories and legends. You get to know Bilbo Baggins and his thirteen Dwarf companions, as well as Gandalf the wizard, during the course of there adventures and are saddened when it is finally over. Never fear, however, because this is the prolog to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I have read this book many times over the last 20 years and enjoy just as much, or more, each. A must own book

Summary: No one should go through life with out The Hobbit
Review: This story is a enlightening jouney into maturity. The Hobbitis a story about a dozen unexperienced dwarves and a homely hobbit whostart out on a quest that turns out more difficut than they expected. While reading the hobbit keep it in mind that Bilbo is alot like you. Learn from the mistakes that he makes and admire the wonderful qualities that he develops during the journey. During the story Bilbo grows from a child in the woumb to a couragouse and complete hero. Many belive that the hobbit is a wonderful book to read to their children, it is a story of growing up.

Summary: Vivid Picture in the Reader's Mind
Review: Tolkien does an exceptional job of describing the places in which his characters exist. In fact, it seems as if the entire book is based upon the element of setting. The places that Tolkien takes the reader to are sometimes believable, and at other times they are totally mystical and unreal.- T. Stenner, BDH
