Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: A fantastic fantasy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good one, this book. The Hobbit's title character, Bilbo, is a vertically impaired stout little creature of middle earth. His, as well as the entire race of Hobbit's philosophy is one of rest and good food (one I like a lot!) He intends fully on fullfilling this lifestyle, until one day a party of treasure hunters show up at his door and he is pulled into the adventure of a lifetime. This is an absolute fabulous fantasy book! Bilbo is one of the most likeable, (yet unlikely) heroes of all times! There are also many other fun characters, like Smog the dragon, Gollum and his "precious", and the dwarf treasure seekers. J.R.R. Tolkien is truly the master of the old time fantasy!Book Review: One of the best books I've ever read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the fantasy books I've read, the Hobbit is one of the best.
J.R.R. Tolkien takes a nice, quiet creature such as a hobbit and creates an
exciting, enchanting, and all around enjoyable adventure,
complete with horrible monsters, fire breathing dragons,
dark forests, Elven castles, dwarves, giant spiders, and breath taking battles.
And along the story you get to know the characters,
as if its not a book but an adventure with friends.
From the moment you start reading the book Tolkien's special
style captures the imagination,
making you want to keep reading it to the very end.
If you have any interest in fantasy or mythology,
or if you just want to read a good book,
The Hobbit or There and Back Again is the book for you.Book Review: A MUST read for all fantasy fans!
Summary: 5 Stars
I take time to read this book and the following Tolkien Trilogy
"Lord of the Rings" about every two years and each time I am swept
away just like the first time. The characters have distinct and
passionate personalities both good and evil. Each time through,
I am thrust into a world of magnificent lands, strange and unusual
races, and fantastic battles between good and evil.
From Smog, to Gandalf, to Bilbo and Gollum the surprises never
cease. Once I pick the book up, I can't put it down. By the way,
it's about time I read it again.Book Review: Extraordinary peak in to Tolkien's Middle-earth!
Summary: 5 Stars
This fantanstic romp through the wonders of Middle-earth provides a tremendous sense of adventure that only Tolkien can offer. This is an easy-to-read preview of what lay ahead in the Lord of the Rings. A must read for any avid Fantasy reader!Book Review: Wonderful from one generation to another.
Summary: 5 Stars
Tolkien has created a land for all of us to escape to.Easy to read and simple to understand, his smooth soft prose easily slips into the harsh gutteral noise of an Orc or baddy. His poetry is introduced with such natural transition that even the "roses are red" crowd will enjoy. This classic is a perfect way to introduce your type A friend to relaxing fantacy literature that will trap them until you're ready for them to direct you to the next project. I enjoyed it immensely and was excited to give it to my children. Already it is a favorite that will be passed on to the next generation. It is a timeless masterpiece.
