Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: Dillon's review on The Hobbit
Summary: 5 Stars
I think The Hobbit was one of the best books I have ever read. I liked the way the setting was put into it's place. I also liked the characters and their own unique personalities. If there is going to be a movie that will be a (must have).
One day a wizard named Gandalf came to a town they call the Shire. He was there on urgent business and had to find a certain hobbit(small people that didn't wear shoes) named Bilbo Baggins. The Bagginses were known to not ever go on adventures or do anything bad. Soon he came to the door of Bilbo and he knocked on the door. Bilbo came outside in a hurry and Gandalf was talking to him about a meeting that would happen the next day at Bilbo's house.
The next day a whole bunch of dwarves and Gandalf came over. This was now called the secret mission, for they were planning to go to the Misty Mountains to kill Smogg an evil dragon that killed a lot of dwarves and took their mountain.
In the next couple of days they were off. They had many hardships and fought through a lot of trouble including: elves, goblins, smogg, wolves, and spiders.
What happens well you'll have to read that yourself.
Book Review: Rob Inglis Audioreview - The Hobbit A+
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.

Book Review: The Hobbit
Summary: 2 Stars
The Hobbit, is a tale of Biblo Baggins who develops into a hero. He first tends to be alittle timid, comfortable, independant, and secure in his little hole, also called his home. He is not afraid to follow his own path, and he craves adventure in a most un-hobbit like manner. He is more of the role model type for others. Biblo is later visited by Gandalf the wizard, and not to long after, twelve dwarves show up in his hole, to tell him about a quest they have planned, and what part they would like him to take part in. His quest is to go and rob Smaug the dragon for the treasure of Lonely Mountain. They want him to be their burglar. He is very creative, and has a large imagination. Overall, i think this book is good, but not great. It is more written for the fantasy type people, and who like wizardry. If you like The Lord Of The Rings, then you would like to read this book because it relates when when he finds a rind of magical powers. So if you like fantasy, wizardry type of books, then you would like to read this book.Book Review: The Hobbit on Audio
