Summary: The Greatest Prelude of All Time!!!
Review: For all of you people who have read the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, and want to know just how Bilbo Baggins came to obtaining the Ring of Power, this is the book for you. Immerse yourself into a world of fantasy where hobbits, elves, trolls, goblins, humans, etc. roam the lands of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, is approached one day by the wizard, Gandalf. Bilbo must go on a journey where he travels over great mountains, through the depths of ancient forests, and inside dark tunnels where he obtains the ring of power. Bilbo's journey is full of peril and only his heroism will make him acheive his goal and finish the journey.
A weakness in the book is that Tolkien can be describing an action scene but sometimes it can be hard to picture in your mind because everything happens so fast. I wish that this book gave more detail about gollum, because he is so cool, Precious.
Overall, Tolkien's books bring you into a world where you feel as if you are part of the story. While reading this book, I felt as if I was right there with Bilbo, fighting off goblins and traveling Middle Earth.

Summary: The Hobbit: An Epic Adventure for All
Review: "Far over the misty mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns cold We must away, ere break of day, To find our long forgotten gold". The powerful words of this brief poem describe, in depth, the storyline of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Its powerful words describe the storyline of this novel. The author tells the entertaining story of the adventures of a Hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins and a rag-tag team of dwarves as they travel to avenge their ancestors' deaths at the hands of an evil force. Their adventures take them through the deepest, darkest, and most vile places in a land called Middle Earth. The magnificence of the author's word choice allows the reader to almost hear the sounds of battle cries and water dripping in a dark cavern. This is clearly the work of a genius.

The story begins in a place called the Shire, which is the home of our hero, Bilbo. The arrival of a famous wizard, Gandalf, disturbs his peace. Gandalf brings with him a party of uncivilized dwarves on a quest to reclaim the gold plundered by an ancient foe. They convince him to go with them into the depths of the unknown, fighting trolls, giant spiders, dragons, and even worse! When it comes down to it, Bilbo must make a split-second decision that could save them all, or condemn them all to death.

The setting of the novel is one of the key elements in the book. The unreal location of the novel gives the story a much more fantasy tone, the intention of the author. The author creates a new world, completely different from the known world. This world that Tolkien creates is a magnificent world filled with secret doors in mountains, dark, dark forests, and rivers of water so murky that one could never to see the bottom. It is a truly marvelous spectacle.

Spawned in this superlative land, are the characters of this novel. Each character shows a distinctive set of traits. No two characters act the same, which adds to the magnificence of the novel. The intricate detail that Tolkien uses in his imagery enables the reader to mentally draw a picture of each and every character.
Tolkien's attention to detail flows straight into the plot, a riveting, spellbinding experience. The story flow is very fluid, with very few jumps or shifts. Each part either progresses the plot, or explains a trait of one of the characters. Unexpected twists and turns in the plot add to the splendor of the novel.
Tolkien uses the language of the Middle Ages to make the novel a true work of art. Mostly associated with the Middle Ages, the Old English dialog flows into the novel, making it seem as old as the time of the setting.
All of these elements combine to form a literary masterpiece, suitable for all. A spectacular adventure unfolds before anyone who reads this novel. Life and death, loss and gain. All of these and more await within the pages of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.

The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien is about a hobbit named Bilbo. In the book the hobbit gets taken on the adventure of his life.
In one of his adventures he meets some trolls that have a cave behind them and he is sent to look in the cave to look. But before he can get into the cave he gets caught by the trolls. The only reason that he was alive was that a wizard saves him.
I thought that this was an exciting and adventurers book. It had a great plot and a great story about wizards, hobbits, dwarfs, goblins, dragons and elves. If you like that kid of thing you should read it. It's great for all ages.
The hobbit was a great book with a fabulous plot. So if you like adventures you should read the book the hobbit by JRR Tolkien. I would recommend this book to people who like fantasy.

Review: The hobbit is a fiction novel about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. It takes place in middle earth, a long, long time ago. The main characters are Bilbo, Gandalf, and twelve dwarves. The head dwarf, Thorin Oakensheild, needs to reclaim his family's lost treasure. Upon doing so they must cross the dark forest of Mirkwood and slay the mighty dragon Smaug, evil gaurdian of their lost treasure. Along the way they must overcome many perils and foes, but they also make a few friends. I thought this book was a real page-turner, very hard to put down. I never knew what was going to happen to Bilbo and the dwarves next, every chapter was a new and exciting adventure. I highly recommend this book to all readers, young and old.
