Summary: WOW...
Review: I was tottaly amazed from the time i read the first chapter of this book. J.R.R. Tolkien brings you right into this amazing fantasy world. The book is mainly about a hobbit who lives in a hole. J.R.R. Tolkien puts in some awesome detail about his home. A hobbit is a humanlike creature that lives underground, smaller than a dwarf. The book starts when Gandalf, a mysterious wizard, and a group of dwarves visit the hobbit. They bring the hobbit on a long journey to defeat Smaug, a dragon that sleeps on gold and jewels. this book is action packed right from the thrid or so chapter. One of my favorite parts was when the hobbit fights many giant spiders. Any lover of fantasy books has to have read this. This book will keep you reading all the way through, the ending is awesome by the way, and Gandalf plays almost no part in the book but does in the other books from the series. The Hobbit came dangerously close to being my all time favortite book (almost beating Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone). This book is a must have!

Summary: The Hobbit
Review: Have you ever heard of a hobbit? A hobbit is a small wooly footed creature. They don't wear shoes because they have thick soles that form on the bottom of their feet. They have curly brown hair like the stuff on their feet. Some people call them hole dwellers because they live in holes. Now that you have learned what a hobbit is, I shall tell you about one particular hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. This hobbit lives in a place called Hobbiton or the Shire if you like. Anyway, this hobbit is about to go on an adventure with thirteen dwarves and one wizard named Gandalf. The dwarves are trying to get their gold back from an evil dragon named Smaug. Will they succeed? I'll tell you one thing, this is one adventure that will change this hobbits life forever. I love this book. I have read it over and over again and I still can't get enough. It has so much action, adventure, and it's hilarious. You will adore this book and want to read it over and over again. I would think that older kids might enjoy this book more than younger kids. For instance five year olds; or two year olds would not understand it very well. But older kids like nine or older would most definitely love this book.

Summary: the best book ever
Review: Imagine if a wizard as old as time came by your house one day and asked you to go on a jouney with a band of dwarves. Would you go? You might as the main chareter, bilbo,thinks that "i have not the time to go on an adventure, nasty little things that make you late for supper" and you have no idea you'll have a second chance. J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit or "there and back again" is a wonderfully written book of adventures, treasures, tragedies, battels and dragons. He must have visited middle-earth because he wrote the as if he did. The characters are a mixed group of serious leaders and drunken followers. Tolkien also wrote The Silmarillion, which in comparison to The Hobbit, is mediocre. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy. I mean, it's a classic and it is written by J.R.R Tolkien.

Summary: take me to that world...
Review: Tolkein tells a story so real, and paints a fantasy that is truly a classic. It takes a master to narrate a story with unimpeachable poetic charm and with imagery of a glorified fairy tale. Yet this book, which makes the prelude to LoTR, can be classified as neither poetry, nor fairy tale, not even a classic. It belongs to a class of its own...

Summary: A fantasy that shows the greatness of good spirits...
Review: Originally written in 1937 by J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Hobbit" is the first of a series of books that constitute Tolkien's legacy, one which, like many other literary masterpieces, has stood the test of time. The hobbit of the story, Bilbo Baggins, is forced to face his destiny by the wizard Gandalf; one that gradually gains him the respect of his companions (thirteen dwarves, along with the wizard) and many other characters in a year-long adventure through the dangers of facing the meanest creatures and walking through the most adverse places. Ultimately, the tapestry of events which Tolkien brilliantly weaves around Bilbo and his friends confront him with Smaug, the terrible dragon who has long seized the dwarves' treasure. Only the combination of luck, intelligence and a courage which he never thought he had, help Bilbo to sort through all he's faced with to come out as a better being, one that can see beyond the blindness that greed brings into smaller spirits (not necessarily because it affects dwarves more than it affects others in the story). It is there where the true greatness and universal character of the story lies. The best thing about Tolkien's fantasy books is that you can relate to them in so many ways that they no longer seem so distant from what could actually occur to you.

Summary: as good as ever
Review: The "Hobbit" is a timeless classic that people young or old will never tire of reading over and over again. Tolkien paints a picture of a world that is so real you almost believe it may have existed. In the newest edition, the large print makes it easier to read without taking away the ability to enter the world of middle earth.

Summary: The hobbit
Review: Bilbo baggins is a happy little hobbit that lives in bag end, a small hobbit town. One day, alot of little dwarves come to his door, one by one, these little dwarves keep showing up. Then, his good friend, Gandalf shows up. Gandalf is a very powerful wizard whom Bilbo looks up to. Gandalf had come to Bilbo's door with all the dwarves because he had an adventure, or rather a quest for little bilbo baggins. One of the dwarves was related to a king that ruled a moutain. He had many riches and he treasured them so much that he filled the tunnels in the mountain with the treasure. One day a huge dragon invaded the mountain and horded all the gold and had been guarding it to the present day that Gandalf went to Bag End to Bilbo's little hobbit home. So Bilbo and Gandalf and the 14 Dwarves set out to the mountain. The mountain was set in the North Mountain chain. They went through the Dark Woods and the hills and through various mountain chains. They finally got to the mountain and they hid in a cave. Finally, Bilbo found a way to defeat the dragon and he was a hero. He had all the gold and riches he could ever want.The theme of "The Hobbit", I think is that size does not matter. It is what is inside that counts.
I thought that "The Hobbit" was an extremely good novel. It not only taught a lesson but was intertaining also.

Summary: Great Story
Review: For a very long time, I have heard some great things about The Hobbit. After reading this book, I can honestly say that it was all true. I really liked how time and time again Bilbo proved his value to the journey, especailly when the dwarves began to question his worth. The riddle sequence with Gollum and the Battle of the Five Armies is epic
