Summary: Under the Underground
Review: I loved the book the hobbit, which is by JRR Tolkien. It takes place in the underground world of Trolls, Elves. Goblins and Dragons. Its about a hobbit named Bilbo. Hobbits are fat fuzzy creatures with long toes and fingers. He meets a lot of elves and they have to go steal back gold from a cave guarded by a dragon. I recommend this book because it is funny and the dialogue is great. The humor of the book is fantastic. For example in a cave two creatures start telling riddles and people will laugh and love it. I loved this funny and incredible book. Other people might say this book is terrible and dialogue free but it thinks it's magical. The Hobbit is a dialogue filled book but people sometimes don't understand. S0 READ CAREFULLY AND ENJOY... THE HOBBIT

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great Book, no,- A work of Art!!
Review: Thinking of the name, cover, and genrea of this book, it wouldnt seem like a good book to me. I remember wanting to read it in 4th grade, but never got the chance. I finally got my hands on it, and never once put it down. Come to think ov it....i should never put it down. Before that, i had never been a very good reader. Now i can read college material, in the 7th grade. And it all got started by the Hobbit. By the way, I actually rated this book a ten, but it wasnt possible. If you ever read in your life, if only one book ever, read the Hobbit, because it will change your life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It doesn't get any better than this
Review: The introduction to the best story ever written, Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit stands alone in its own right, however, as one of the best fantasy novels, if not one of the best books of all time. You will not be disappointed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Warning: Don't waste your time on this book!
Review: Warning: Don't read this book. It'll scare you from reading any other book The Hobbit stinks. The Hobbit is terrible. The Hobbit is down right boring. It's hard to follow and is extremely dumb. It faces in on Bilbo Baggins, a lonely hobbit. Suddenly, he is left with a band of dwarves, who take him on an adventure. All he worries about is that he left his handkerchief at home. While he faces evil orcs, goblins, and wolves, he gains the respect of the other dwarves with the help of a magic ring. He also ends up in mental challenges as well as physical, such as a riddle contest with Gollum, a creature from the sea. The last few chapters about facing the dragon Smaug, are very hard to follow. To tell the truth, I probably don't know how it ends. I strongly recommend that you do not read this book. I think that J. R. R. Tolkien did a terrible job of tying the book together. Unless you want to be bored to death, do not read the famous The Hobbit.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who wanted to live alone and not be disturbed. Later, a wizard named Gandalf comes along with a group of dwarves. The dwarves and Gandalf were going to go on a quest, which would be very tough. Bilbo became interested in this very fun adventure and decided to join along. While Bilbo was going on the quest, he and the dwarves and Gandalf encountered huge spiders, evil orcs and killer wolves. It got worse and worse by the minute. Soon Bilbo and the dwarves came to the the Lonely Mountains, and behind those mountains was the evil dragon Smaug. Many of the elves and dwarves feared him because he was of great evil and wanted to conquer the lands of all the creatures that lived in the forests and villages. He had to be stopped. The malovent dragon was very powerful and couldnÕt be stopped, but he had to. Bilbo didnÕt know what to do because he felt scared and frightened in many ways, but he did want to do the right thing. Soon Bilbo and the dwarves encountered a group of elves and these elves had a Elvenking, who was their mighty ruler. Bilbo talked with him about the malovent dragon Smaug and needed to be vanquished. The Elvenking agreed with him and decided to take a stand. So Bilbo went to confront the dragon. What will happen, and will Bilbo defeat the evil dragon Smaug?

I thought this book was terrific! I thought it was really interesting, and I couldnÕt put the book down. I just kept reading and reading. The plot of the book was really neat. I think a story about good against evil is a good theme. I thought Bilbo was a good person in the story, obviously because he wanted to stop the evil dragon Smaug. Bilbo was brave by showing courage and I really like that. This story is a classic, and you canÕt put it down. I would get this book. It is worth reading and you canÕt resist it. I recommend this book for ages 8-30. It is a very descriptive book with great amount of detail. Adventure, fantasy, and imaginination are all in the book. Read The Hobbit , the prelude to The Lord of the Rings, both written by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Summary: My Review of The Hobbit
Review: Movie Proposal-The Hobbit

Date: 12/01/00

To: Mr. Steven Spielberg

From: Mr. Alan Wilcox

Subject: Pertaining to the proposal that the story The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, should be made into a movie and in the hopes that you would be willing to direct it.

Mr. Spielberg, it came to my attention some time ago that the story The Hobbit should be remade into a feature film and although I know that you probably have an extremely busy schedule it would be a great honor if you would see about directing my movie. As you may already know, The Hobbit has already been made into a movie and that the movie The Lord of the Rings is already in the makings, I still wish to have a remade and revamped version of the story, preferably using live action rather than animation. I feel that the adventurous story of a hobbit as he and his friends make their way to a dragon's lair, in order to slay him, would make for a wonderful movie. There are many fantasy adventure fans out there just waiting for another movie based on this popular book. This story has all the makings for a great movie: a likable and funny main character, a old and wise father figure, a multitude of helpful friends, and the freedom of creativity that only a fantasy story can give. The basic structure of a good lesson, namely the advancement from complacency and boredom to adventure and mystery, and the combination of action packed adventure could possibly even make The Hobbit a better seller even than E.T.

The wonderful tale of an adventurous hobbit, of the new friends he makes and their struggle to take back their home should make for a superb movie. Along with the possibility of several sequels if this first movie works out there are the endless possibilities for creativity and ingenuity on the part of the director. Thanks to the advancements in visual arts and computer graphics it is now possible to create the vivid and vibrant universe that was originally created by J.R.R. Tolkien in his wonderful story. My only hope is that you will accept my proposal for a movie based on The Hobbit and that you might be able to direct it yourself or at least pass it on to someone with as much vision as yourself. I thank you for taking the time to read my request and I hope you consider the opportunities available for success.

Summary: I would give this 10 stars!
Review: POSSIBLY THE BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME, AND IT'S ONLY IN 300 PAGES! The Hobbit is about Bilbo Baggins. One day, Gandalf, a wizard, fooled Bilbo into an adventure. The adventure is to get back "stolen treasure" from Smaug and bring it back to the dwarves of Laketown.I cant describe in words how great this book is! You'll have to read it for yourself!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you like Harry Potter you will love this!
Review: This book starts out slow and boring. After I stuck out a few chapters this book I knew would be awesome. This book has great characters and story -settings. This story is about Bilbo Baggins an old hobbit who doesn't like adventure. But after he hears what the dwarves have in mind he is ready to go. They go on wild adventures and fight goblins, trolls, and giant spiders. Once they reach Lonely Mountain they find Smaug the dragon guarding what they had wanted most, the treasure. The best part of the book was when Smaug fell to his slayers feet from the black arrow piercing him. I also loved the ending because it was so funny what had happened to Bilbo's House.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Midget
Review: Out of the series of books The Hobbit was the best. It was the most action pack book I have ever read. The Hobbit who is a little guy and he is left alone and doesn't show fear. He gets the gold back and kills the Dragon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hobbit
Review: This is a classic tale of how a non-adventurous little hobbit turns into a legendary hero of sorts. It is about Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit from Bags End, who, with the guidance of Gandalf the Grey, joins thirteen dwarves on a quest to reclaim their ancestrial homeland that was taken from them by Smaug, and evil dragon. On thier journey, many problems arise in which Bilbo proves his worth countless times. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially thoe who love fantasy books. This could be read as a childrens tale or by an adult who likes fantasy or fiction type books. It starts out slow but revs up to a very exciting plot. J.R.R. Tolkien will keep you guessing what happens next.
