Summary: A very imaginative and suspenseful book!
Review: I have to admit, I would have never given the Hobbit a chance if I hadn't been assigned a book report in which I'd have to read a fantasy book. I wasn't very familiar with fantasy books, so my teacher suggested to me the Hobbit, promising that I'd never want to put it down. Sure enough, she was right. As I read into the book, I was amazed at the descriptive words and adventurous plot! Because the beginning and closing dragged on quite a bit, I rated this book a four star. Overall, the book was one of a kind!

Summary: It's Terrific!!
Review: This adventure is an intricate web of adventure where one adventure leads into the next. Escaping from goblins, being rescued by giant eagles, killing dragons, and protecting a hoard of treasure may seem like a typical adventure story. This story will tingle the senses and twist your imagination to new heights and leave you wanting more and more! In a lifeless, boring, adventure-less, hobbit town with a shy, dull, adventure-less hobbit came an adventure of all adventures, one that couldn't be turned down. The shy hobbit meets a wise, risky, well-known wizard who talks the hobbit to throw a party and the hobbit accepts. At the party, the hobbit meets thirteen dwarves, who turn out to be his traveling companions and each have different traits and personalities which both aid and the hurt the friends on their journey. The friends start on their journey and they must travel through dangerous mountains filled with deadly goblins. There the hobbit proves his usefulness and saves the dwarves from the goblins from there on the hobbit pulls the dwarves and sticky and dangerous situations. This book is terrific. J.R.R. Tolkien's writing is detailed and flowing that lets the reader feel like he or she is actually in the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a good sense of imagination and adventure. This is not just for kids it can be just as exciting for adults too. I encourage anybody who has read this book to read the other books in the series. Reviewed by Jimmy Byars

Summary: Still the BEST after all these years!!!!
Review: I first read The Hobbit 20-25yrs. ago and, to this day, I still have not only The Hobbit,but also the trilogy, The Silmarillian and The Tolkien Companion prominently and proudly displayed on my bookshelf. I'm still enthralled by the books just as my 4 and a half year old neice is when her daddy reads to her about bilbo and his adventures that lead him far away from his comfortable Hobbit hole.J.R.R.Tolkien is not only a genious but also a masterful magician who has captivated generations and led them on fantastic journeys of the imagination.This is a must read for all ages.

Summary: Read this book
Review: For those of you who are uncertain right now about whether or not to read this book, I will explain why people give it one and two star reviews. It is a very simple fact. To NOT like this book, you must meet two requirements. 1)You must have the attention span of a gerbil. 2) You must be a blithering idiot. To like this book, you need to meet this one, simple requirement: have an imagination!

Summary: THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ
Review: The Hobbit was an extremely good novel. It is by far the best novel i've ever read. i started it in grade 8 for a novel study at school and just got so rapped up in reading it that i was finished it in three days! Normally i don't like novel studies but this was an exception. Tolkien wonderfully provides the concrete details and lets you do the rest, he makes you use your imagination to make it seem like you are actually there. Bilbo is by far the best character in the novel. Tolkien is in my mind the best author for adventure books. i give this book 2 thumbs up. It was great.

Summary: The Beginning of the Greatest Fantasy Epic ever.
Review: The Hobbit may have been intended for children, but it has captured the hearts of adults as well. It is a wonderful entry point into the Professor's world of Middle Earth. From my initial reading I was enchanted by it. Bilbo is one of the greatest fantasy heroes (or anti-hero) ever created. His adventures, which lead directly into The Lord of The Rings, are enrthralling, thoughtful and entertaining. Parents who read this, tell your kids to put down those joysticks and pick up this book!

Summary: Greatest author
Review: This novel is one of the best ever written by the greatest author ever. I first read this book when I was in third grade, and still love it five years later. This story was the first to get me into the fantasy genre and it has truly been a marvelous journey ever since. To anyone who enjoys a good story, read this tale of elves, dwarves, dragons, trolls, hobbits, and wizards. Also, if you choose to read this novel, don't forget to read the even better Lord of the Rings Trilogy by the same author. Remember to read this first, however. Don't listen to the other reviews which state that this book is a load of hogwash. It is, in fact, a wonderful adventure that a reader will never forget.
