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: The book even Saddam-Hussein would love!
Summary: 5 Stars
If I would have to wait 1000 years in a Sarlacc pit monster (Star Wars:Return of the Jedi), spend another 1000 years in an antibomb bunker and await underground for the seas to return to their places the book I would take with me would be without doubt "The Hobbit"Book Review: Gee Whiz

From a Letter to JRR Tolkien's son Christopher (JRRT, Letters #87):Dear Mr Tolkien, I have just finished reading your book The Hobbit for the 11th time and I want to tell you what I think of it. I think it is the most wonderful book I have ever read. It is beyond description... Gee Whiz, I am surprised that it's not more popular...If you have written any other books, would you please send me their names?

I thought these extracts from a letter I got yesterday would amuse you. I find these letters which I still occassionally get (apart from the smell of incense which fallen man can never quite fail to savour) make me rather sad. What thousands of grains of good human corn must fall on barren, stony ground, if such a very small drop of water should be so intoxicating! But I suppose one should be grateful for the grace and fortune that have allowed me to provide evn the drop. God bless you beloved. Do you think The Ring will come off, and reach the thirsty?

P.S. It's nice to find that little American boys do really say "Gee Whiz".
Book Review: The best book ever written
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book I've ever read. Tolkien wrote a awesome book. If I had to float around in space for 10,000 years and could only take one book I'd definitely pick The Hobbit
