Summary: Entertaining
Review: It is very exciting to follow up to half of the book, but eventually becomes kind of boring. Maybe I should have read it at 13. But it is amusing.

Review: i remember watching the cartoon of this with my dad on sunday afternoons when i was little, it thrilled me, just thrilled me. I think this is the best book Tolkien ever wrote. I was never a fan of the Trillogy, but i loved this book. You cant go wrong with this book.

Summary: Amazing.
Review: This book, The Hobbit, unlike The Lord of the Rings, can be read by just about anyone, young and old. It's about a peace-loving Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is his name, who lives in a little Hobbit-hole, like all normal hobbits. What's a hobbit, you ask? A hobbit is (or was) a quiet, peace-loving creature who usaully lived on hills and disliked normal human, or, as they say, "the big people." They didn't believe in modern technology and got most of their resources from nature. Well, on day, when Mr. Baggins was sitting upon his rockin' chair outside his little hole, the great and mighty "Gandalf the Gray" came and forced him to come upon his journey. Forced. From the on, the book features giant spiders, goblins, GOLLUM (what other reason do you need???) and many other mysterious creatures, but, sadly, no Black Riders. Anway, this is one of the best books I have ever read and I highly recommend this to _______ _______ (your name here.)

Summary: Kyra's Review
Review: I really enjoyed this novel from beginning to end. The beginning was a little hard to read because there was a lot of description, but after that it jumps right into the adventure of the plot. The action is very suspensful, and a lot of diverse characters are met throughout the adventure. The book really created a variety of vast images and I was able to stay enticed from beginning to end. The main character Bilbo is easily comparable to a regular person. If you are into fantasy adventure then The Hobbit is a great read.

Summary: avoid the graphic novel version
Review: Unfortunately Amazon has mashed together all the Hobbit reviews. But the comic/graphic novel version is different enough to warrant it's own review pool.I bought this expecting to love reliving the Hobbit in a visual format. But that didn't happen. This adaption is just flat and missing so much of the magic Tolkien created. I suppose that's a given when you replace so much of his expertly crafted words with pictures. If nothing else, read the standard version of the Hobbit first before trying this. Reading this first will just spoil what a great book the Hobbit is.

Summary: The Hobbit
Review: The Hobbit is a very exciting book. It has wierd and interesting creatures that were unique and not your average fairytale copy cats. It makes the reader feel as if he/she is traveling and starving and tired and scared along with the rest of the characters. I also like how the author describes the scenery so vividly. He paints a picure in your mind that of all the places bilbo and his company of dwarves visit.
Gandalf the wizard is my favorite character. He always seems to know what's going on, even when he isn't around. He is smart and uses his cleveness and magic to help the group out of tough situations. Sometimes he tricks people in a harmless and friendly way. He makes friends with the alot of people through out the novel. He has human , dwarf, hobbit, elf and magical friends that can transform into animals.
I liked the plot in this book alot. It kept my attention and made me want to keep reading until I found out what would happen next. The best part was when bilbo tricked Gollum in the Goblin caves. Even though the plot was complex it was not too hard to understand and was very interesting.
This is an interseting book that will keep your attention until the end. It is fun and exciting and describes everything in great detail. It is so good that I can't wait to begin Tolkien's other books.

Summary: A Book For All Ages
Review: Imagine sitting down, picking up you childrens bedtime story and not being able to put it down untill the end. This is what it is like reading The Hobbit. When this book was first written by Tolkien, he ment it as a bedtime story for his kids but as you might know it is a very good book that even adults but is also simple enough for adults. i really enjoyed this book and liked the storyline a lot. the characters in it are great and it is a very enjoyable book to read. If you have ever tride to read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and haven't gotten very far i think you would really enjoy this book

Review: The Hobbit was a very exciting book. It had wierd and interesting creatures that were unique and not your average fairytale copycats. The story brings the characters to life with very descriptive words. It makes the reader feel as if he/she is traveling and starving and tired and scared along with the rest of the characters.
Gandalf, the wizard, is my favorite character. He always seems to know what's going on, even when he isn't around. He is smart and clever and can solve just about any problem with his magic or his wits. Sometimes he tricks people in a harmless and friendly way. He makes friends with a lot of the different characters you meet throughout the novel. He has many friends of all races (which is unusal for the story) such as dwarves, hobbits, elves and even special magic friends that can be more than one species of animals
This is very interesting book. It is fun and exciting and paints wonderful adventures in my head. It is so good that I can't wait to begin Tolkien's other books. If J.R.R Tolkien's other books are as exciting and interesting as this one I think he should be considered one of the best authors of our time.

Summary: The Hobbit: Greatest book by J.R.R. Tolkien
Review: The Hobbit is my favorite book so far. I read so many and this is my favorite. This book is about a hobbit named Bilbo and his friends. You must read this. I seriously could not put this book down. I read this whole book(330 pages) in six days. NO LIE!
If you care for journeys there and back, out of the comfortable Western world, and home again, and can take an interble hero(blessed with a little wisdom and a little courage and considerable good luck) here is a record of such a journey and such a traveler...In following the path of this humble adventurer, you will learn by the way(as he did)-if you do not already know all about these things-much about trolls, goblins, dwarves, and elves get some glimpes into the history and politics of a neglected but impotant period!
When i was reading this book it was like a movie and if i stopped reading i missed the whole movie. A++++++++++++++ Book!

Summary: The Prequel That Started It All
Review: If the names Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the wizard don't mean anything to you, READ THIS REVIEW, THEN GO READ THE HOBBIT! This is a fantastic story that will keep you hooked until the end. It tells the story of Bilbo, a hobbit, or midget, who goes on adventure with thirteen dwarves in search of a treasure that was taken from the dwarves by Smaug the Dragon. For most of the trip, they are accompanied by Gandalf, a mighty wizard who got Bilbo to sign up for the trip. Along the way, Bilbo finds a special ring that makes its wearer invisible. He "wins" this treasure from a creature called Gollum, who swears revenge on Bilbo's family when Bilbo escapes. The troop has many great adventures with goblins, elves, wolves, trolls, and giant spiders! If you've never read this book, do yourself a favor and read this A.S.A.P. Then go read Lord of the Rings.
