The Hobbit (Leatherette Collector's Edition)

Summary: two words - spell check
Review: Can anyone who reviews books here spell? It isn't that difficult. Let's learn to spell before we knock a classic. I don't find it very surprising that the one-star reviews come mostly from cranky 12 year olds.

Summary: The BEST book ever!!!!!!!!!!!!(Well, the best one yet!!)
Review: The Hobbit is simply the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I just simply love it! My favorite part was the part where Bilbo challenges Gollum to a riddle game. The two had a deal. If Gollum won, Bilbo was lunch, but if Bilbo won, Gollum had to show him the way out of the gobin's layer. Bilbo won and then Gollum got mad. Gollum went a way to find his ring that could make one invisible. He was planning to surprise Bilbo and when Bilbo finally sees Gollum, it would be too late for Bilbo. But Gollum couldn't find it! Bilbo had it. He found out when he put the ring on and Gollum ran past him, trying to find his ring. Then Gollum sat down, whimpering the most horrible sound, whining the instructions to get out of the cave because he thought Bilbo already knew and Bilbo just wanted to get his ring. Bilbo followed Gollum's instructions and rode on Gollum's boat ( Gollum was rowing his boat to the entrance so he could find out if Bilbo had escaped.) The only problem with doing this was that Gollum wouldn't dare go near the goblins, though he sometimes ate them, but only with his ring on, so Bilbo had to jump. Unfortunatly, Gollum either heard or smelt him just when he was jumping. Gollum grabbed for Bilbo but missed. Bilbo finally got to the entrance but to his mishap, it was guarded by goblins. Fortunatly, Bilbo had the ring so he just walked past the goblins. Then the scariest part happens. The ring fails Bilbo and the goblins sees him. Luckily, he got out and returned to his friends. The reason why I like this part is because it makes you keep on reading and it is hair-raising. I could go on, babbling about the rest of the story but I can't because of the maximum of words. Still, I think you would enjoy it. You ought to read this book. It is, as I said, simply the best. No other book could out do The Hobbit, except for, maybe, the rest of the series. Read it!

Summary: Enjoyable on many levels
Review: In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit . . . thus begins our introduction to Hobbits -- furry-footed, mushroom-loving gourmands of Middle Earth. Read it several times and then complete the trilogy -- be sure to read the appendices in the trilogy too -- valuable stuff there.

Summary: This was wonderful
Review: This was one of the best of the fantasy books I have read (although not as good as the rest of the series). It is a rambling adventure/story that is very interesting and light-hearted. It talks about the adventures of a certain hobbit who, possibly due to queer heritage, is persuaded to go on an Adventure, unlike most other hobbits who stay at home and are respectable. The wandering storytelling is delightful to read and illustrates the change of the hobbit, as well as providing the Ring that was the subject of the series ahead.I liked this book from the start to finish.

Summary: THIS BOOK ROCKS THE PLANET!!!
Review: The Hobbit is truly the BEST fantasy ever written. I have read it three times and the following books twice. I'm planning on reading it again sometime. If there was more than 5 stars then you could truly give it what it deserves! For all those people who gave it one star, well @#$% you! You obviously aren't a fantsy lover and don't know good writting from bad. JRR Tolkien is a fantasy genious. Bilbo's story may seem long and boring at first, but the way Tolkien writes is truly awesome. The only thing I don't like about this book is the fact that it seems to have no point of view, is it 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person? Still: I LOVE THIS BOOK!! If you don't read it, how will you get to heaven?!?

Summary: What a fantasy
Review: I could never seem to get into this book; why? It is a tale of 'Bilbo Baggins' and his journey with Gandalf and the dwarves to find treasure, and defeat the 'evil dragon', Smaug. It seems pointless; adventure after adventure, many characters, and no main theme. It was a childish and boring book (as well a series).
