Summary: Another Great Book to Add to the List
Review: The main character, Bilbo, starts out hating adventure, but in the end he has a slightly different opinion. This is a wonderful fantasy filled with adventure and suspense. With zany characters that make you want to continue reading. Many people have read this book and there is a reason why.

Summary: The best J. R. R. Tolkien book out there!
Review: It's been awhile since I've read "The Hobbit", but all in all, it was a fascinating read. J. R. R. Tolkien writes incredible fantasy, especially in his vision of Middle-Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a lovable character, and Smaug, the worm, is a worthy adversary of Bilbo. The whole story is injected with humour and wry observations during Bilbo's journey. All the characters are carefully wraught through Tolkien's imagery and language. I hope to get through "The Silmarillion" (I think that's the title), but unfortunately can't get into "The Lord of the Rings". Oh well. Anyway, I truly recommend "The Hobbit" for anyone who enjoys rich fantasy!

Beautifly done. Highly recommended for everybody. A Beautifull work of Litreature.

Summary: Great story but only a precursor for what is to come
Review: While it is not absolutely critical to read the Hobbit in order to enjoy the greatest work of fantasy ever written, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Hobbit does provide valuable background information on the later quest. The character development is top notch and the book is a very quick read. Tolkien's ingenuity in creating a time and place is surpassed by none. The one odd thing I noticed is that it appears that the Lord of the Rings was written for a more mature audience than the Hobbit. All that being said, I find myself re-reading the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings every two to three years with the same amount of enjoyment and a growing appreciation each time.

Summary: Get in to the book
Review: This book is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. He takes up an adventure with thirteen dwarves and a wizard named Grandelf. He is supposed to help the dwarves win back their treasure and mountain! This book tells about their adventures and the risks they take! I think the author wanted to enchant the reader because the book has suspense at every turn! I like this book because it has suspense and adventure. I think you would really like this book!

Summary: Not just for children!
Review: I always thought this book was for children so I got it for my son for Christmas. He had read all the Harry Potter books and was waiting for the next one so I figured this classic fantasy would help fill the void.Well fill the void it did! My son absolutely loved it and has already read through it twice. Intrigued, I picked up the book myself and was immediately captivated by the story and stayed up until 2AM one morning to finish it! This is a book that any adult can appreciate and while it might be challenging for a child under 14, the effort will be rewarded. This is the story of a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who is very much like many of us. He would rather avoid "adventure" and sit by the fireplace with a mug of beer and a good meal in his stomach. He is suddenly dragged unwittingly into an adventure that ends up transforming him and teaching him things about himself that he never knew. As Bilbo and his dwarf companions encounter trolls, goblins, giant spiders and ultimately a giant dragon in their quest to recover lost treasure, you will find it increasingly difficult to put the book down. J.R.R. Tolkien is a master of prose and you find yourself reading paragraphs over again to absorb all the rich detail. They sure don't write them like that anymore! I highly recommend getting this book on tape (or CD) as well. My son and I "re-read" the book this way and we gained much more appreciation for this timeless classic (the medieval music added a whole new dimension to the tale).

Summary: THIS IS FANTASY I LIKED
Review: I am not a fantasy/sci-fi reader, and I did not overly enjoy Tolkien's extreme run-on sentences. I admit that I had to read more carefully. But aside from those issues...I Love This Book! Tolkien talks directly to the reader, interrupting himself every now and then to define a term, give a background fact, and sometimes to show the reader just how anxious he is to tell us the ending before we get there! Pictures are easily created. Puns are very intented. Characters are realistic in their personalities and traits. Any reader who gives the book a chapter's chance will become involved in Bilbo's adventure of a lifetime.

Summary: An Excellent, Adventurous Book Worthy of being a "Classic."
Review: The Hobbit is an excellent book. It is written by JRR Tolkien who has a good taste for writting well. Through many troubles, the dwarves, led by Bilbo the Hobbit, go over the Misty Mountains, through the Mirkwood Forest, out of the hands of the goblins and the forest elves all the way to Lonely Mountain. Then they have a showdown with the evil dragon Smaug... Will they recover their lost treasure and old mountain home, or will they lose their lives? READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK!
