Rating: Summary: The Hobbit Review: The Hobbit is about a hobbit and his adventure to find an old dwarf kingdom. It was a good book, but I wouldn't reccommend it for younger or less advanced readers.
Rating: Summary: Masterfull and Exciting Review: I read this book when I was 10 years old. Later I read the entire series. I have since re-read them all. I must say that the entire series is beautifully written and that I belive that Tolkien's books should be cherished and sought as an example of good fiction.

Rating: Summary: The Hobbit Review: The hobbit was a pretty good book, and it has alot of exciting things that happen in it. Bilbo is a Hobbit that lives in a small village. One day he is at home and alot of dwarves come,and with them is Gandalf the wizard. When he finds out what was going on he is terrified.

Rating: Summary: Started a world of reading Review: The first time I heard (read) this book was in Fifth grade. Our teacher started reading this to us after lunch hour. I can credit this book with creating a hunger for books in me. I still read it again every few years. I have read the trilogy many times, but this is always my favorite. Thank you JRRT
Rating: Summary: The Start of the Greatest Epic Ever Written Review: The Hobbit is an introductory to a broad world created by Mr. Tolkien. The Hobbit introduces us to the fairytale like qualities while the Lord of the Rings gives us realism. Altogether one of the best books I have read.
Rating: 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 sent 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".
