Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: This is a wonderful book for all ages.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most wonderful I have ever read. It is a
science fiction book about a hobbit (small people) who
goes on an adventure and tries to free the world of an evil
dragon. In this epic, the hobbit is accompanied by 13
dwarves and a wizard. As they leave, Bilbo(the hobbit) is
worried about not eating six meals a day. In the end, he
becomes a very bold warrior.
I am an eleven year old boy and recommend this book to all who
like a good tale!

Summary: 4 Stars
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien is very exiting and imaginative.
It contains adventure, horror, trust, hope, and dispair...
with a little bit of gold and greed. I enjoyed this book
immensely.Book Review: What does a home-loving hobbit do when hungry visitors call?
Summary: 5 Stars
If he's Bilbo Baggins, he feeds them then joins the party of dwarves and their cowled friendGandalf on their travels across the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood to meet the dragon Smaug and reclaim the dwarves' treasure.En route our short hairy hero with the fuzzy feet shows some hobbit feats unexpected by the dwarves, fairies, goblins, trolls and others. High adventure for readers of any age awaits in these pages. An example, from my dog eared copy: While seeking shelter in a cave from a storm, Bilbo "dreamed that the floor of the cave was giving way, and he was slipping--beginning to fall down, down, goodness knows where to. At that he woke up with a horrible start, and found that part of his dream was true. A crack had opened at the back of the cave, and was already a wide passage. He was just in time to see the last of the ponies' tails disappearing into it. Of course he gave a very loud yell, as loud a yell as a hobbit can give, which is surprising for their size. Out jumped the goblins, big goblins, great ugly-looking goblins, lots of goblins, before you could say 'rocks and blocks.' There were six to each dwarf, at least, and two for Bilbo; and they were grabbed and carried through the crack before you could yell 'tinder and flint.'" The Hobbit is unparalleled as a fantasy children's book, and is adored by adults as well. It's even better when you read it to your kids!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 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
