Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: THE BEST BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best fiction book ever written. If you don't believe me, read it for yourself and you will see what I mean. Nothing else comes close to being so involving with characters, settings, and plot. I have read this book more than 50 times over the years and enjoyed more every time. This book is truly a classicBook Review: Before there was Star Wars...
Summary: 5 Stars
I could hear his thoughts as we left the school book fair:"Stupid mother. She only reads boring stuff. She wouldn't knowa good book if it fell off the shelf and hit her on the head." I refused to let him pick out a book that was written from a screen play and that he had already seen in the original form...a movie. I had rejected requests for Star Wars and Warriors of Virtue, and had countered with such authors as Ray Bradbury, Ursula L'Guin and Lloyd Alexander,to no avail."Are you more interested in space or dragons?" I finally asked in frustration.
"Dragons."
"Well, as I remember, there's no dragon quite like Smaug. Before there was a Star Wars, there was The Hobbit, and if you don't like it, we'll get another book."
Disgruntled, he suffered through the first chapter. I coerced him into the second chapter, and now I can't get him, or his two brothers, to go to bed without reading a chapter. I don't know what I would do without the next three books. Moms aren't so dumb after all.
Book Review: A classic fantasy novel
Summary: 5 Stars
J.R.R. Tolkien is the grandfather of the fantasy novel as is clearly noted reading this book. He creates a world of peoples, places, and things, complete with their own languages, histories and legends. You get to know Bilbo Baggins and his thirteen Dwarf companions, as well as Gandalf the wizard, during the course of there adventures and are saddened when it is finally over. Never fear, however, because this is the prolog to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I have read this book many times over the last 20 years and enjoy just as much, or more, each. A must own bookBook Review: A truly fantastic novel!
