- Ridiculous

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.

Amazon did a great job of getting us the product we wanted quickly and efficiently. The book of course is great as it is the book before The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Awesome reading!

- Great book a little intence for younger children
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.

- A Great Adventure For Old and Young
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.

- how can you go wrong
the hobbit is such a nice little story. About the adventures of bilbo the hobbit. His travels with the trolls and out smarting the cave dweller for the ring were interetsing.
