Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: Childhood memories galore
Summary: 4 Stars
This shall forever and always be a literary classic. In fact, I think I prefer it the popular Lord of the Rings, as it stears to a more childlike sense of wonder in an utterly charming sample of hobbits, dwarves, and dragons.
It's hero: a loveable but unlikely champion called Bilbo Baggins who would rather not go on an adventure if he could help it. And yet he is dragged into a quest for dragon treasure when Gandalf the wizard spreads the rumor that poor Bilbo is an infamous burglar.
Here we have all the necessities of a proper fantasy: a charming, dangerous world, quirky characters, trolls, dragons, and wars.
This is cuter and more of a fairy tale than LOTR will ever be, but perhaps it's better that way: a great story rather than an epic.
Book Review: Fantastic book and an excellent paperback edition...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a literary review, this is about the edition/printing only.
This is a great paperback. I bought it because it was economical, but ended up enjoying it because it is of exceptional quality. This is NOT a mass-market, stiff as a board, tiny font, drug-store printing. This is a book with sturdy binding and thick matte paper with pleasantly large font type. While it doesn't lay flat on a table when open, it is very easy to hold open in one hand. I love hardbacks, but this paperback was a purchase I do not regret.
GREAT BOOK, MEMORABLE JOURNEY WITH UNIQUE CHARACTERS, AND A TOTALLY RECOMMENDED EDITION.
Book Review: I went there and back again...and back again.

Summary: 4 Stars
I had the pleasure of listening to the Rob Inglis audiobook version of The Hobbit on a recent long car trip. While I was already familiar with the story, I hadn't read it in a long time. Mr. Inglis' reading was very engaging and entertaining. His voices for the characters and singing of the included songs/poems were delightful.
I highly recommend this audiobook version of The Hobbit.
