Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: The Hobbit
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was boasting with the great imagination of J.R.R Tolkein. About 60 years before the lord of the seires Bilbo Gandlaf and a gang of Dwarfs travel through the misty moantians to get to a treasure stolen from the Dwarfs. As the gang travels through the land they meet tons of epic characters (elfs dwarfs goblins trolls). Tolkein could have written more voilence like its sequel Lord of the Rings. Overall it was a epic classic.Book Review: --
Summary: 5 Stars
I generally do not read books if there is a possibility of a movie being made on the same. However, this is a really very interesting book. You can not keep it down once you start reading.Book Review: Tolkien Set the Stage
Summary: 5 Stars
Though I grew up reading fantasy, playing Lone Wolf books and sometimes joining an AD&D game, I had never read any of Tolkien's works until recently. The Hobbit sat on my bookshelf for seven years because I couldn't get past the first chapter. Now I breezed through it, soaking in the rich world of Tolkien's imagination and discovering where most modern fantasy has its roots. Though I've seen the first two Lord of the Rings movies, I'm now going to get and read those books and anything else JRR Tolkien wrote in the way of fantasy. Book Review: Better than LOTR
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this book is a much better read than Lord of the Rings. I also think Peter Jackson should have made a movie out of this book. There are a million reviews out there for this book, so I just want to add that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful imagery, interesting storyline... This is one book that everyone should read.Book Review: In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit...
Summary: 5 Stars
'The Hobbit', by JRR Tolkien, a book which is known through out the world as being the enchanting prelude to 'The Lord of The Rings' Trillogy. When I first read 'The Hobbit', I was a fourteen year old High School student who had, at that time, not yet learned the true enjoyment of reading. Considered by many to be a book for children, which indeed it is written to be appealing to children, it is also much more than that, in being a wonderfully enjoyable tale for all ages.
Bilbo Baggins was a Hobbit approaching middle age, living a respectable, and comfortable life in is little Hobbit hole. Then Gandalf the Wizard, along with thirteen Dwarves, appeared on his door step for tea one afternoon, and after that meeting, Bilbo's life was changed for ever, as was the fate of Middle Earth. Bilbo endured many adventures during his travels with Thorin Oakenshield and his band of Dwarves, as they quested for the enchanted gold of the Dragon Smaug.
All in all, a wonderful read, a wonderfully written story filled with magical beings that set the imagination to sparkle. I would suggest this book for any child or adult.
