Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
The hobbit is a great book. I purchased this book and read it for the first time since high school and enjoyed it even more than I did then. You can tell that the book is written for a younger audience but the story is still wonderfully written and the adventure is still riveting!
Great service and fast delivery. Excellent product!!
Book Review: Ridiculous
Summary: 1 Stars
After writing LotR Tolkien should have hunted all of his Hobbit books and burnt them in a giant bonfire.
This book tells about the adventure of Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and a number of Dwarves (I can't remember the actual number, because all the dwarves were so similar).
This book is so silly, juvenile and ridiculously written that it is completely unprecedented.
People are defending this book by saying that it's a childrens' book unlike LotR. Well here's some news for you. There are some actually good childrens' books out there.
Not all would doom this 1 star, but no way would this book be receiving so many 5 star reviews unless it was written by Tolkien.
I'm not saying someone couldn't like it, but from any sane point of view it just isn't *good*. Period.

Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my son who is 9. He enjoyed the book but did feel it was kind of intense. The fight scenes are very well written and subsequently scary. All in all he did enjoy this book and it is a great alternative to harry potter ect.Book Review: A Great Adventure For Old and Young
Summary: 5 Stars
A master of language, Tolkien certainly worked his magic on my four children, ages two to nine. They sat with rapt attention as I read The Hobbit aloud to them. After an hour of reading, they begged for more stories about Gandalf, Bilbo, and the dwarves.
Bilbo's adventures serve as the field experience his education was lacking. On the road with the dwarves, he develops his talents spurred on by Gandalf's confidence in him. His courage, character, and creativity grow throughout the book as Bilbo faces trolls, spiders, elves, and finally the dragon. In the end, Gandalf observes that Bilbo has truly become a new hobbit through his adventures.
