Summary: The Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit may be the most thrilling book I've ever read. I still wonder how J.R.R. Tolkiens thought of so many marvelous creatures, characters, and adventures, and weaved it in with wonderful writing and words. In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is a very lovable Hobbit who goes on a very perilous adventure with a party of dwarves. It involves goblins, giant spiders, a dragon named Smaug, and many other spectacular things. If you love adventure you must read this book, or else you're missing out on a journey you'll never forget.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent! A first rate adventure!
Review: A great and fasinating account of a hobbit (a beardless type of a dwarf with leathery feet) going on the adventure of a lifetime meeting up with some very strange and interesting characters.

The novel is very interesting and I recommend it to everybody. Kids and adults will enjoy this absolutely ravishing adventure alike.

J.R.R. Tolkien is the best fantasy novelist ever. His books have gained ample recognicion for a very good reason.

This is one of my favorite books (if not my favorite) and I can't wait to finish reading the Lord of the Rings.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book kicks
Review: The Hobbit is the best book ever. A mixture of fantasy and action, Tolkien wrote this book perfectly. For all of the people out there that thought this book was a failure because it was too hard to read, tellin you, It was my favorite in 4th grade. And if you think it was hard to keep up with the characters, you really need to reread it again. This book is about a Hobbit who goes off on an adventure with 13 dwarfs and a Wizard, and faces many challenges through the way, including wolves, goblins, spiders, elves, men, and a huge dragon. It is the best book in the world, and you should read it. Stop reading this review and READ IT!

Summary: STUPIDEST BOOK IN THE WORLD
Review: one day while sitting in my class at school, we watched a movie. instead i chose to read The Hobbit. it should have been good right? after all...it is so famous. i soon learned i was wrong. what a horrible book. do not read it. forget about all the other reviews. they just think bilbo the bimbo is hot. (however they could think that...) STUPID BOOK! id rather be forced to read the story of how grass was given the name grass.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deceptively Simple
Review: The Hobbit is always a refreshing read for me, as Tolkien uses a simpler style of writing than he uses in the Silmarillion or in the Lord of the Rings. But even though the prose may be simpler, the underlying tale scratches the surface of Middle Earth, evoking many deep themes that are later unveiled in the later books.

I like the Hobbit for its simplicity and its depth, and the beautiful illustrations by Alan Lee complement this edition handsomely.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Only Fantasy You Will Ever Need
Review: Every fantasy story you ever read will sound like a knockoff ofThe Hobbit--so read The Hobbit and don't bother with the rest. (Okay,then read the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But that's it.) As a kid Iread it about 20 times, and since then I've read it about 5 more--I'm coming due for it again!

The Hobbit is the ultimate classic adventure tale: a mysterious wizard picks an unsuspecting hobbit to accompany a band of greedy dwarves, as they go to steal their gold from Smaug the dragon--and to kill Smaug, if possible. They journey through forests and under mountains, battling goblins and hobnobbing with elves, until finally they reach the lonely mountain where Smaug awaits.

``The eagles are coming! The eagles are coming!''

Summary: The Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit was a great book. It's for people who like fantasys. The hobbit (Bilbo Baggins) is sitting quietly at home when these dwarves walk in and they have a party; that's where the suspense begins! The dwarves take the hobbit across the land to Mirkwood, so they can fight the dragon. A lot of weird things start to happen in Mirkwood, and they meet a couple of friends along the way. The woods seem never-ending. Will they ever get out to defeat the the dragon? Find out by reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun story of dwarves and gobblins
Review: "The Hobbit" is a story of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who enjoys his life of sitting at home and eating constantly. One day a wizard shows up with a band of 13 dwarves. The dwarves are out to win back their gold that was taken years ago by the evil dragon, Smaug. Thus begins a journey through treacherous land where terrible enemies roam, in which many challenges are faced and adventures sprung. Bilbo surprises himself and his companions with his helpfulness along the way and they are forever grateful.

"The Hobbit" involves many conflicts. Bilbo is troubled with himself in that he always wishes he were back in his snug little hole in the ground. Then there are the obvious conflicts between the travelers and the enemies. In order to pass through the mountain, the dwarves must defeat the goblins and later in the story, the goblins side with wolves and go after the. The dwarves must pass through a dangerous forest that goes on for what seems like forever and the most important thing they must do is stay on the trail. But the dwarves get restless and want to leave the trail, which is a conflict in itself and also creates more conflicts with enemies. Bilbo and the dwarves always seem to overcome their obstacles and continue with their adventure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME Book
Review: I read this book last year.....I LOVED it. I thought it was the most exciting book I had ever read. Remember, "thought", I am now reading The Lord of the Rings epic. Now these books are exciting. All of you dumb idiots who rated it one star because there wasn't any lower stars than that, did you know that Tolkien made a whole earth? Did you know he made 15 total languages for The Hobbit and LOTR? ... Didn't you think Gollum, the trolls, goblins(Orcs), Wizard, Dwarves, wolves, hobbits, or Smaug(Dragon) was exciting? If I were you at home, it would be the best book you ever read....Buy it...Now! It is an AWESOME book. Those of you who rated it one star, read The Lord of the Rings and then rate them...I know what they'll say. For more info on the Hobbit, it's about a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, that lives peacefully in a hobbit hole. One day some dwarves leaded by Gandalf, the Wizard. They offer Bilbo to be a "Burgular", a person who steals treasure for pay. He accepts...and thats when the excitment begins. What happens in The Hobbit has a lot to do with what happens in LOTR. The RING is the coolest thing Bilbo brings back with him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hobbit-a true classic book
Review: This book is a true classic book despite what people say. Anyone who could possibly hate this book even a tiny bit doesn't know how to enjoy classic and well written literature. I'm 13 and have read books by most of the classic authors including hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises"; George Orwell's "1984"; Steinbeck's "Of Mice And Men" and "The Grapes Of Wrath";Kafka's "Amerika"; and Homer's "Illiad" and "odessy". These classic books are the greatest of our time, but J.R.R Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and "The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy" are defidently better than all of these. If a person could give anything worse than a 4 star they are ignorant, fools that don't know the difference between "The Cat In The Hat" and the great writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. Even a 4 star rating is worse than what this book deserves. If I could, I would give this book 6 stars. I dedicate this review to the people who would dare to insult this piece of art by giving it a rating below 5 stars.
