Summary: And exactly what is a Hobbit?
Review: If you have not read this book, you should. It is not a masterpiece, because that word is too general. You may call it that if you wish. This book is smiled upon if you read it for the story, if you think of it as a bedtime story that the speaker made up and that the listeners wanted written down. If you think of it as if you were being told all this by someone who was there, or if you think that you're reading the diary of the person who was there, then this book will be much more fun. ;)

Summary: "The Hobbit" is the best book ever!!!
Review: With its whimsical storyline, an in-depth psychoanalysis of its characters, and fantastic wordplay, this is truly a classic to salvage. I loved all the references to Norse mythology (Tolkien was an Anglo-Saxon proffesor)and its adventurous spirit! This is truly a book to cherish!

Summary: If you read one book in you life, this should be it.
Review: The Hobbit is the greatest storie ever written. J. R. R. Tolkien does a excellent job of creating the perfect fantacy realm. If you love adventure and great reading make sure you do not miss this great book. Also read the Silmarilian and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. All of them deserve a five star rating.

Summary: Unsatisfying!
Review: This book is a shame because J.R.R. Tolkien writes very well; but the topic is not interesting at all. How can you expect one to read about dwarves fighting a dragon, dwarves going to war with elves, 'Wood-elves' imprisoning dwarves?, or the evil, horrible 'Wargs'!? You can either like or dislike a book like this.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I don't know what to say of this book, everyone's heard of it and half the population has read it. It's a great book, the best in the series. This book gets you so sucked in! I got in trouble in class because I was reading it during algebra. The Hobbit it great for anyone who likes fantasy. It's a classic and I can see why!

Summary: WICKED
Review: The Hobbit is one of the best books ever written. Although not as good as Lord Of The Rings.The plot is not at all hard to follow.And the book makes perfect sense.This book is so good that i had to read it in one night, i couldnt put it down for long.The bottom line is that Bilbo was chosen by gandalf to join some dwarfs on a quest to kill a dragon that has been living in there caves.Bilbo finds the ring of power, and that paths the way for Lord Of The Rings.

Summary: Gee Whiz!
Review: Here is one of the letters Tolkien received about the Hobbit that he sent to his son, Christopher. His son was stationed in South Africa during WWII and Tolkien would send him chapters from Lord of the Rings as he wrote them.From a Letter to JRR Tolkien's son Christopher (JRRT, Letters #87): Dear Mr Tolkien, I have just finished reading your book The Hobbit for the 11th time and I want to tell you what I think of it. I think it is the most wonderful book I have ever read. It is beyond description... Gee Whiz, I am surprised that it's not more popular...If you have written any other books, would you please send me their names? John Barrow, 12 yrs., West Town PA. I thought these extracts from a letter I got yesterday would amuse you. I find these letters which I still occassionally get (apart from the smell of incense which fallen man can never quite fail to savour) make me rather sad. What thousands of grains of good human corn must fall on barren, stony ground, if such a very small drop of water should be so intoxicating! But I suppose one should be grateful for the grace and fortune that have allowed me to provide even the drop. God bless you beloved. Do you think The Ring will come off, and reach the thirsty? Your own Father. P.S. It's nice to find that little American boys do really say "Gee Whiz".

Summary: Enchanting, fun, playful yet meaningful
Review: According to the reviews on this book, everyone loves this book--EXCEPT for those who are under 15 and were FORCED to read it in school. To those who are young and find it too long, too confusing, too dumb, etc., perhaps you should just stick with Stephen King until you mature a little. Ironic that this book, which was originally intended to be a "kids" book, misses with so many kids...Anyway, I'm 30 and I have been meaning to read Tolkein for years; I'm not a fantasy fanatic (at least not yet) and picked this up a week ago, and I loved it! It's so original (considering it was the first, after all), and I've had wonderful dreams of hobbits, wizards, etc. all week. Thank you J.R.R.'s spirit!!
