Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: The Hobbit- A book for all people
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this amazing work of fantasy when I was in Junior High, and to this day, it is the most imaginative and compelling book I have ever read. It is not only for kids, or guys, or fans of the Fantasy genre, but rather, it is a work of wonder and awe, dealing with values and challenges basic to the human experience. Don't be fooled by the stereotype of Fantasy books, this one transcends all preconceived notions to simply entertain, and fill the reader with a sense of creativity and courage. A must read for all who are truly alive.Book Review: Fantasy at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great, even better than some of my books from TSR, and that says something.Book Review: Prepare for Boredom and Pedantry
Summary: 2 Stars
I must confess, I did not like the hobbit until I heard it dramatized, and then only somewhat. The tone of the book treats the reader like he/she is a child, the story is amateurish, although I am told it is symbolic. For real fantasy, this is not it.Book Review: Fantasy Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The most recent reviewer to post for this book was my husband. Life in our house may not be pleasant for some time. I first read Hobbit when I was seven years old, and it launched me into a career studying medieval literature. Don't let my husband fool you--this is a gem!Book Review: Excellent storyline but too long
Summary: 3 Stars
I read The Hobbit for my book report in eighth grade and it was pretty interesting. This book had a lot of great details so that you can pracitically envision the story taking place but it was also somewhat long. I grew bored by the middle of the book. The Hobbit, like most other fantasy stories, display the theme of the eternal struggle between good and evil.
