Rating: Summary: The Hobbit Review: The Hobbit was a wonderful fantasy book that portrayed the new ideas of modernism throughout the turn of the century. It did this by portraying wisards, monsters, and different kinds of creatures and staying away from religion. The Hobbit was an interesting book and I enjoyed reading it.
Rating: Summary: Children's book or literary masterpiece? Review: Don't be fooled into thinking this novel is full of hidden meanings and allegorical concepts. Tolkien himselfs said that he despises allegory. Neither is this a book a simple children's book. It fits nicely in between these two..not so complicated that you'd need to go over it again and again to discover some reflection of humanity...and not so simple that you feel you are reading a childrens book. The Hobbit is a fantastic read...for entertainment only...for the more in depth reading try the long but great Lord of the Rings.
Rating: Summary: Fantasy Masterpiece Review: One of the finest fantasy novels ever written. Not only is it beautiful, it's fun and engaging. If you haven't read this book before, you are in for a real treat.
Rating: Summary: An awful book that should get 0 or less stars. Review: This is just a horrible book. My school is forcing me to read it. It is just so boreing. I don't even think my teacher can take it anymore beacause we have been reading it for 3 monthes and we only got up to chapter 10. You see, we have to read it outloud in class. I dought we will ever finish this horrible book. Spend your money on Harry Potter instead.
Rating: Summary: The book goes ever, ever on Review: As an avid reader of Fantasy novels, none has had such an impact on me then that of Tolkien's classic The Hobbit. Words alone cannot describe the full force of what this book has done to shape fantasy writing in the 20th Century. It is a book in which everyone can associate themselves to in one way or another. There are many very human issues which arise out of this book, and it does not matter if you have read it once, or a hundred times (like me) that you still grasp something new and exciting about the nature of the book. I truly believe that this is a masterpiece which has and will stand the test of time for now and many generations to come. I would happily give it six stars if I had the opportunity. I hope that people who have yet to experience its wonder do so, for the joys this book has brought to so many people (as seen by these reviews) can be shared to even more people. Any comments appreciated.
Rating: Summary: The Hobbit Hits Home Review: J.R.R. Tolkien's classic adventure tale of Bilbo Baggins's quest for justice continues to snare new readers year after year. The charming hero and his enchanted friends take us through the magical lands of Middle Earth on a journey we can never forget. What they, and we, learn along the way is that we are all capable of much more than we imagine, that there is much more inside of us than we ever knew. The Hobbit will continue to be an inspiration for young readers and adults, very likely until a time far, far away from now.
Rating: Summary: This Book is one of the most interesting book I've read. Review: This is one of the best books I've read. I am twelve years old and I love to read. I've read more than half of the books under Newberry Honor and Medal books list. I think I am a lot alike the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins,becausejust like Bilbo Ineed someone to take me, show me, and help me free the me inside.
Rating: Summary: The yardstick Review: For over thirty years The Hobbit has been the yardstick by which all other works of epic fantasy would be measured. This tale and its sequel, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, define fantasy fiction. This is easily one of the greatest pieces of literature written this century. A must for all adventure lovers.
Rating: Summary: Simply Amazing! Review: The Hobbit is an excellent book. Everyone should read it. Even I, a 12 year old has read the book. You just can't put it down. There's is one adventure after the other. J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is a true master piece that will not be forgotten. But the adventures don't just end in this book. This is only the beginning. Next is the Lord of the Rings. Named BOOK OF THE CENTURY. READ ALL OF THEM, including all the Middle Earth Series
Rating: Summary: Absolutely loved it! Review: It is beyond me how anyone could not enjoy this book! It has it all! From dwarves to goblins, and dragons to elves. From cover to cover a truly enjoyable journey.
