The Hobbit

Rating:
Summary: An exciting fantasy/adventure novel.
Review: The Hobbit is an excellent piece of work done by JRR Tolkien. It combines adventure, fantasy, and folklore together making a thrilling book. This book was written because JRR was a professor of English at Oxford and had wanted to write something like this for a long time. The book shows that he spent much time on the book. Through this work, he became the father of the fantasy/adventure genre. I had to knock a star off though for the confusing laguage he used in conversation and in his descritions. Perhaps if one likes to think about something very deeply, this language would be a great source of thinking material. However, I enjoy the reading. I have to have adventure after adventure after adventure. This book portrayed that, however, the language did slow it up a bit. All in all, a very excellent piece of work by JRR. I have already begun the first book in series that follows this story.

Summary: Speach less
Review: This book it the best book ever written. It comes in right behind the Bible. Tolkien is amazing. He created his own history of a world, and put it in such detail that the reader must read it over and over again. If you like this you must read all his books, they are just as good as the Hobbit.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: It was good, but a little confusing at parts, and a bit boring at part

Summary: An adventurous Tale
Review: I loved this story; it had all the elements a good story needs. It had great mythical lands, hobbits, a band of hostile dwarves, a mage, goblins, trolls, and many other mythical creatures. The descriptions of the places were in-depth, and colourful. The plot was great; though the original quest was petty, it turned into a wonderful adventure.

Summary: If you like adventure The Hobbit is for you.
Review: The Hobbit is a book that you can't put down. It has action, comedy, and lots of adventures. This book is about a hobbit (a little person with big feet and hands) who goes on a quest with six dwarves. Along the way they run into trolls, wizards, giant spiders, gobblins, a very strange creature named Gollum, and a dragon named Smaug. The best part about the Hobbit is that it is only one of four books in a series that are all filled with action and adventure. I would recommend this book and all the ones in the series to anyone who can read.

Summary: Absolutly marvalous!!!
Review: Reading Tolkien's masterpiece is like being drawn into a world so believable, one can reach out and snatch Bilbo Baggins' ring. No wonder this is the benchmark of all fantasy books, it is a true fantasy, with "dwarves", elves, trolls, dragons, goblins, and whatever anyone can imagine.

Summary: This book is great!
Review: I've read many books, but this book is probally one of my favorites. It's set in the days with elves, dragons and wizards. This book is what I think best describes the term "Adventure". It's filled with detail and description. One more comment to whoever reads this. Do NOT EVER see the movie they made for this book. It leaves out huge parts of the story and is very lame.

Summary: Outstanding!!!
Review: This was my first fantasy novel. I really had no interest in reading fantasy before. I heard this was an extraordinary book. I heard right. This is a master piece. Tolkien brings out the child that is within us all. He takes the imagination to new heights, introducing us to an extraordinary land filled with extraordinary people and creatures; some good, some evil. Bilbo Baggins the lead character in the book is goes on an adventure that is beyond his wildest dreams. The way in which Tolkien tells this tale, is worth the read by itself. This is a masterful prelude to the 'Lord Of The Rings', the greatest fantasy epic ever written!

Rating:
Summary: A lighthearted story preceding an epic adventure!
Review: This book was great! It was able to capture the imaginations of both adults and children with elements of fantasy and have a both complex and easy to understand plot. It is hard to believe how Tolkein managed to create this entire world. Read the Lord of the Rings, too! It's like a Bible! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
