Summary: Incredible!!
Review: The story the Hobbit is completely unforgetable. The story is thrilling from begining till the end. Took me less than a week to finish i couldn't put it down. The Hobbit is about a Hobbit named Bilbo and his adventures over time. This book is truely amazing. I've read three times already and plan to read it again VERY SOON!! If you loved the Hobbit read the Lord of the Rings. ( There is a movie coming out this winter on the Fellow Ship of the Ring I've seen a review on this movie and looks spectacular it is a must see!!)

Summary: The epitemy of Fantasy
Review: This "book" is a travesty to everything ever written. Swoar, lil' fools wack for REALL. J.R.R. Tolkien is clearly a man of minimal intellect and an insufficient grasp on what a a real novel is composed of. Boy, ain't nuffin' but a playa-hatin scrub!. Daniel Miller, anonymous in Kentucky (MMS!)

Summary: The first truly five star book
Review: Masterpiece. A work of Art. A lasting piece down through the ages. How ever you look at this book, it is all those things and more. Most notable is the endurance that this book has, lasting over sixty years and still a favorite of millions, perhaps billions.

The story is that of Mr. Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit. Hobbits are peaceful creatures who live in and around Hobbiton. One day, Bilbo is approached by Gandalf, a wizened wizard who sees Bilbo as a necessary force for the gathering of a party of dwarves bent on revenge and getting back gold stolen from them by Smoag, a nasty dragon. In the midst of this party and all that they encounter upon their journey to the Lonely Mountain (where the treasure of Smoag and Smoag himself lay) they encounter other forces, strange creatures -- some friendly and some very unfriendly. Deadly spiders, Trolls, Goblins, Wolves round out the deadly enemies. Elves, Men, Elrond half-Elvin, Byorn, and dwarves, round out the good guys. And of course, we can't forget Gollum...the dispicable creature within the Misty Mountains whom Bilbo encounters and gains the ultimate power over the lands....the RING! A magic ring that renders it's wearer invisible, but also takes part of the person away (as you learn in later books). But the Ring is mainly a sideline to the main story which is the success of good against evil thanks to a little, nothing of a Hobbit. Even the smallest of creatures can have a monumental impact, is what Mr. Tolkien was trying to tell us I think. That, and don't judge a book by it's cover.

Enjoyable in everyway and a book to pass on to your children and their children. Please read it! It will change you, just as it changed the lands before humankind.

Summary: The Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit was about a little hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo and his friends,the Dwarves make many dangerous encounters on a journey to retreive the tresures of the Dwarves ansectors. I enjoyed this book very much. It kind of dragged towards the closure of the book. The creativity the author shows is astounding.I really enjoyed the scene where Bilbo and Gollum have a riddle contest.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Hobbits are just another type of Elf
Review: I would strongly recommend this book to those who play "Dungeons and Dragons." I honestly don't care which of the 5000 races of little people someone belongs to. This book had a few highly actioned and interresting parts in the book, but overall this book is dull, and Bilbo the main charachter complained most of the time.For instance, there was often a large gap between action scenes. I was really looking up to the death of Smaug, a charachter who's ego was expanded into godlike preportions, died a pitiful death, with hardly any contact with the adventuring gang. And finally, my favorite charachter(Gandalf)left prematurely.

Summary: My Review on the Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit was a story about a little hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. He goes on a faraway journey accompanied by thirteen dwarves and a wizard. The purpose of the journey is to find the lost treasure stolen by a fierce dragon named Smaug. Along their journey, Bilbo and the thirteen dwarves go up against Goblins, Trolls, Elves, and other wild beings amoung the forest. If you are into stories about journeys and make believe, you should read the Hobbit. I'm not really into these kind of books, but it was pretty good.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: My personal review of The Hobbit
Review: I think the Hobbit was an OK book. It is about a hobbit named Bilbo, who lives a very scheduled life until he meets 13 dwarves and a wizard. Bilbo doesn't like adventures, but his mined is changed after his long journey for a teasure. Bilbo runs into many dangers including a dragon named Smaug, Goblins, Trolls and Wolves. Bilbo makes many friends on his journey and looses friends too. I didn't like the ending to Smaug. They made him such a big character, but he dies so quickly. If you like adventerus books I would suggest the Hobbit.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Little Fellows
Review: I would recommend this book to kids, Elementary kids for the most part because it might be too childish for grown ups, yet to hard to understand for someone whos just too young. I found this book to be interesting; it kept me reading it and turning the pages. I thought the ending could have been alittle better because it was just too simple for the complexity of the book. Smog seemed to be a big force with a huge wrath but he was killed easily do to the lack of diamonds over the one part of his body that is the most vulnerable, his heart. I think there should have been a big war lasting days, carrying the drama out longer. This book was a bit slow in the middle and beginning but picked up at latter until the disappointing end. Overall it wasn't that bad of a book to read for school but I personally like something a little more realistic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Hobbit
Review: If your reading this then you are obviously interested in "The Hobbit". It's an exciting adventure story with a bit of fantasy and magic all mixed into one. I think it is a most excellent story and would recomend it to anyone looking for a good Sunday sitting in the park doing nothing story. You may wonder why I gave it a 4 instead of 5 well to tell you the truth I thought the ending definatly could have been better. The entire story is based on a quest to rid an ancient dwarve fortress from SMAUG an evil dragon well it turns out that the adventures dont kill smaug and he plays a minor part in the long run. But aside from that I recommend it to fantasy/adventure lovers alike.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The small people
Review: The book is about 13 dwarves and one hobbit called Bilbo. The Hobbit is a good book to read. The book is mostly about adventer. If you like adventer this is a good book to read. I think that the book is very good to read in a camping place. I think that the book is very good book.
