Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: A True Fairy Tale as Fairy Tales were Meant to Be.
Summary: 5 Stars
This classic tale brings to life the true essence of fairy
tales. It is written as a historical novel based on a world
not unlike our own. A world with magic, wisdom, power and a
knowlege of right and wrong. Check it out!Book Review: The tale that inspired "cuddling up" with a good book
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read it when I was 8, and I have
read it countless times since then. Now
at the age of 40, I still find it a wonderful
book to enjoy on a Sunday by the fire,
or on a long train ride. It is a story of
heroism, goblins, wizards, and the magic
that lies in the smallest of people, and
we have all felt small at one time or another.
I highly recommend the purchase of a
hardback and a paperback since you will
loan it to others and it will surely not
come back.Book Review: An amazing work by the master of written English
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the first long book of fantasy that I ever read,
not until later was I able to find its successor, the Lord of
Rings, and until that that this book, thin in size, and yet
containing the fires of my young impassioned imagination,
saw me through times both sad and joyous, and now looking back
upon it see the child I once was. More serious tales there
are to be had, but every now and then when a little flippary
is needed this one suits the bill.
A child's story written by a Professor of Oxford University, this work contains the foundation for almost all modern fantasy, from its desciption of orcs and goblins, to the landscapes of the world, this is the starting gate, that loosed the flood upon our world.
Book Review: The Book everyone must read.
Summary: 5 Stars
It is not a fantasy book. It is not a book that you read just for fun. This a book of lore, where everyone can find answers to all questions. This book gives you clear understanding of what is good and what is evil. Actually, it was not written by Tolkien - he just translated it fron The Red Book of Westmarch, the Cronicles of the Shire and the Middle-earth. Have you ever wondered how a small weak creture can change world's history? Read this book, which is just a foreword to the great epic of 'The Lord of the Rings' and'Silmarillion'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!
