Summary: Oh please...5 stars is all I can give it ?!?!?!
Review: This book is so capturing and pulls you in. I think it should be required for students to read before they enter high school. So many times our schools don't enforce the importance of reading. Your brain soaks up literature and it also helps to improve your vocabulary. That would make this book the perfect example. And it not's a complicating book. It's full of adventure and excitement but also provokes thought. I think that everyone should have a acquaintance with J.R.R. Tolkien's work.

Summary: My Review
Review: Well, I think this is a good book for ages 11 and above. This is a great fantasy/adventure for girls and boys. I believe it is one of those books that you get dragged in and can't pull away from it. I rate it a "5 star" because out of the novels i have read, this is probably the best. Over all a great book, although hard to get into at the beginning.

Summary: Excellent reading!
Review: Obviously "The Hobbit" is a great book, what impressed me was how well Rob Inglis read it. Wonderful voices for each of the main characters and actually singing all the poems/songs really made me apprieciate them more!Fifteen birds in five fir trees!.....

Summary: What 's Toroll or Hobbit
Review: Hi, I am Japanese and trying to improbe my English studying every day.
One day , my English teacher said it was worth reading.
Through this book ,I studied no only English but also what Hobbit was or
what Dowarf was,mean while , there is a different between
Japanese imaginally liveng life , food, or things like that and British one.
I am getting like Hobbit, and I prefer them rather than Japanese
monsters.(Miyazaki Hayo , Mononoke , etc)
However, reading this book was pretty hard for me.
Because, my dictionary is based upon American English , so
sometime, I have to refer the dictionary twice for one word. I was wondering , will I be able to finish to read the "Load of the Ring "sooner than the secound epic comes to Japan.
I am dying to read touch 3 books.

Summary: THE HOBBIT
Review: I liked this story. It is a great story about bravery, suspense, and drama. In the story friends have to trust friends to be able to stay alive. The author ( J.R.R. Tolken ) makes you feel like you're in the story, and you can picture what's going on. The story is about a hobbit who lives peacefully in his little hobbit hole with no intention of ever leaving it. But one day a wizard and dwarfes appear at his door wanting him to go on a dangerous adventure with them. At first he says no to the idea, but once he finds out how much gold is in it, he just can't resist. He and the dwarfes face many dangers. What I learned from this book is that you need to be brave and that it doesn't hurt to try new things because you might like them. I think that everyone who likes stories with dwarfes, wizards, dragons, and lots of excitement and suspense should read this book.

Summary: A wonderful childrens tale for people of all ages.
Review: The Hobbit, Or There and Back Again, is the wonderful prequal to the Lord of the Rings but, standing alone it still remains one of the best tales ever told. The adventure of Bilbo Baggins is the classic treasure hunt, complete with elves, dwarves, goblins, trolls and fire breathing dragon. Also, for the first time the reader meets such characters as Gandalf the Gray, Elrond Half-Elven, Balin, Gloin, and of course Gollum all who play either larger or lesser roles in the Lord of the Rings. Perhaps most importantly, is the account of the finding of the Ring of Power. Therefore, while clearly written with a younger audiance in mind, The Hobbit appeals to readers of all ages, for in it, the master of fantasy can clearly be seen honing the storytelling skills that have won him the praise of millions readers around the world. I can not wait until my neice and nephew are old enough for me to share this incredable tale with them.

Summary: A Compelling and Captivating Fantasy
Review: This is a great tale of the change that just a little hobbit can make to the world, and to himself. Bilbo Baggins a small hobbit of hobbiton invited a guest over one day to share a cup of tea. That guest in turn turned into many guests who would pressure him to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. After a dance and a party, 12 dwarves and a wizard (Gandalf) would inform Bilbo that he was to be the burglar on their journey to take the treasure from the great dragon Smaug. After one night Bilbo and the others set out on their journey. They encountered many obstacles but in the end Bilbo could almost always be trusted with the rescue of his group. I like how J. R. Tolkien laid out this story as a great prequel to the lord of the rings trilogy. She explains many main characters as well as the plot very descriptively. She does not, however, explain the significance of the most important item in her series, the ring. She does though display the recent origin and some of its magic.
But I think there is a subtle message in this story, the smallest being can make the biggest difference. The small little hobbit, that at one point was scared to leave his smug house, soon emerged to become the great warrior that he was. This Hobbit would still a ring from and out riddle a sea-demon. Break into an Elfish castle, free his friends, and guide them to safety. He would also deal with a dragon, and steal a plot of treasure that could last a million lifetimes. But his greatest accomplishment was maturing to realize that when in danger you have to step up. This is a great adventure and a fine read. I advise this to anyone, who like me wants a compelling book that keeps you into the story. If you do read this, however, look for the subtle messages, they are the most important.

Summary: The Best Book
Review: The Hobbit , Or There And Back Again , is a fantastic book for children and adults. This is the perfect adventure book and best story of our time. The Lord Of The Rings is another fantastic book by the author J.R.R. Tolkien , but it would be a lot better that you read The Hobbit before The Lord Of The Rings because it tells of how the hobbit Bilbo Baggins found his magic ring , which is called the evil one ring in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy books , in Gollums cave under the Misty Mountains. And The Hobbit tells of how Bilbo Baggins , Gandalf the Wizard , and a company of thirteen dwarves run into a lot of trouble with trolls , goblins , wolves , giant spiders and more on there adventure to reclaim the gold in The Lonely Mountain gaurded by a greedy dragon named Smaug. It is a long journey to The Lonely Mountain , and excitement awaits in this brilliantly told classical tale The Hobbit. So if you have never read this book , then what are you waiting for! Read it now! ITS THE BEST BOOK EVER!

Summary: A Great Motivational Kick in the Rear
Review: One day in my darkest hour, I was at a bookstore and picked up "The Hobbit". A cartoon I had only seen when I five years old a long time ago. I bought it and read it. All I could think through this whole book was I do matter.Corney I know!!!! But it made me see that even the most insignifigant or unassuming person can be the crucial factor in the fate of the world or situation. I saw that all of us are more than we seem, when we need to be. Now when I feel beaten by the world and it can't get any worse I take a very ragged and worn copy of "The Hobbit" to remind me of why I keep my hopes alive.

Summary: Enchanting Prequel to "Lord Of The Rings"
Review: It's been over twenty years since I last read "The Hobbit"; I wonder why I've waited so long. Although written originally for children, J. R. R. Tolkien's epic tale of the quest undertaken by the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, and thirteen dwarves is an enchanting saga which should interest adults too. It's a fascinating, often gripping, tale, recounting Bilbo's adventures as he and his companions confront trolls, goblins, giant spiders and unfriendly elves before battling the great dragon Smaug. Bilbo's discovery of the One Ring of Power and his fateful encounter with Gollum is merely a minor aspect of this tale. Fans of "The Lord of the Rings" as well as those interested in reading a great work of fantasy shall not be disappointed with "The Hobbit".
