Summary: Tolkien at his best
Review: The hobbit is by far J.R.R. Tolkien's finest work. It is the story of a Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, the unlikliest of heros. He is lured into a journey by the wizard Gandalf, and lives through the adventures with the help of his comapanions, a band of thirteeen dwarves. Everything from magical swords, to goblins, elves, riddles, and the most famous dragon ever to take wing, The Hobbit shines above all other fantasy novels of its time.

Summary: An Epic Fantasy that will blow your mind!
Review: This great fantasy is about one hobbit's journeys and adventures into the unknown. This is a fantasy thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. Bilbo was the hobbit's name and he came across orcs, elves, goblins, and trolls. If you like books about things that you don't already know read this EPIC Fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien. If you like the Hobbit I recommend the rest of The Lord of the Rings series.

Summary: An Unforgetable Classic
Review: The novel The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien tells the story of a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. He is forced to join a group of dwarves on a quest to reclaim their families' ancient treasure from the evil dragon Smaug. It is a dangerous journey and during the quest it is Bilbo who saves the dwarves on more than one occasion and finds Smaug's weak spot to get back the dwarves' treasure. Although at the beginning of the story Bilbo does not believe he can achieve the dwarves' expectations, he ends up surpassing them. Bilbo becomes the unlikely hero of the group after many an example of his courage and ability to perform under pressure. The Hobbit is a wonderful adventure, fantasy novel which appeals to all ages. It can be read as a straight adventure story by younger readers, or as a more moral story by the older reader. Tolkien has tried to ask a question of the reader: would they rather sit at home and do nothing and have a quiet existance, or go out into the world, get involved and make a difference. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a love of exciting, fantasy and adventure stories. Although The Hobbit is around seventy years old, the underlying themes of the book are ageless.

Summary: The Hobbit's Journey
Review: It all starts off with Bilbo Baggins a jolly, plump little hobbit who goes on a journey in a far away land. He starts off with 12 dwarfs and one mysterious old wizard. He meets dangerous animals and is almost attacked and killed by wood elves. The hobbit saves his friends many times from horrible situations and in the end there is a large battle and a winner emerges. Bilbo, the main character, is an intelligent, but frightened hobbit who turns out to be a hero in the end of the book. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who is interested in magical journeys and far away places. It had a funny beginning, interesting characters and a happy ending. The book overall was very good and is one of my favorites. The book makes you feel like you are right in the middle of their journey with Bilbo. On the other hand if you aren't in to fantasy books and don't like adventures than this book isn't for you!

Summary: A starting point
Review: While this book is acclaimed as one of the best fantasy novels of all time. I find that the most weighing factor for this is age. Being published in the early 20's, it was certainly a groundbreaking book in its time. At this point, however, while the book is better then some of what is out there, it is given far to much esteem. I found the book, superfluously wordy. The resolution of the plot easy to foresee. And I had a hard time finishing it, I wasn't filled with wonder. Perhaps this is due to my reading a great deal of fantasy previous to reading the Hobbit. I feel the works of HG Wells and Jules Verne have weathered the ages much more effectively. So I would recommend the Hobbit to adolescents, people who are interested in getting into fantasy, and those who have a great deal of patience.

Summary: A classic to read over and over
Review: I first had this story read to me by the school librarian when I was five (do librarians still read to classes, or is that too passe now?). It haunted me for years but I couldn't remember the title of the book. I finally found a copy by accident at another library and was hooked. I recommend reading this book to your children for bedtime (along with Wind in the Willows and Alice in Wonderland). Just don't lose your copy before they get to read it for themselves! Keep the magic alive.
