Rating: Summary: THE HOBBIT Review: Tolkien's "The Hobbit" helped break the mold and open up unknown doors. He presented many with text and style of writing that was very uncommon. Yet, it was accepted widely because of it's way it allows the reader to close their eyes and explore an adventurous fantasy. My favorite character described were the Hobbits. They were very clearly painted in her book as "stout and stocky." Tolkien's experimented with an "unknown" type of literature and suceeded! This is an excellent book!
Rating: Summary: the most boring fantasy book i have ever read! Review: i read this book in my seventh grade english class, and personally, i wouldn't recomend it to ANYONE! maybe it is jsut me who doesn't like fantasy novels, but i mean, seriously....the hobbit? gandalf? they were such boring characters, it was as if a ten year old coul've made up these characters. i have written many essays on the hobbit about bilbo baggins, and that he is a heroic character,but to be honest, i would NEVER do it again. it was a waste of my time to read such a bad book! but if u do want to read it, then all i can say is, you will have to see for yourself what u will think of it! enjoy?

Rating: Summary: Good novel, bad summary Review: This is my favorite book. Tolkien is my favorite author. My one complaint about this edition is that the summary on the back of the book is very misleading about the climax. Bilbo does *not* "alone and unaided - confront the great dragon Smaug."
Rating: Summary: A MAGNIFICENT novel! Review: I never liked books until I started reading the LORD OF THE RINGS (including hobbit). I was captivated by it. I would reccomend it to everybody.
Rating: Summary: The Hobbit - An Overview Review: When I first checked this book out of the library, I wasn't prepared for what I was going to read. Right from the beggining, there was excitement and suspense. The Hobbit was one of the greatest fantasy novels I have ever read. I 'am looking forward to reading the continuation. This book was different from most that books I have read before. I loved all of the monsters, dwarves, creatures, the hobbit and the dragon. The way in which the dwarves interacted was fascinating. The courage and friendliness of the dwarves was uplifting. This book is one of the greatest fantasies written and I hope that it goes on into history for a long long time to come.
