This was a pretty good book with a bunch of adventure and a lot of cliff hangers! You never know what's going to happen next. It's a mystery, adventure, kind of horor, book that will keep you wanting to read and find out what will happen next to Bilbo and hi 13 friends.

Written quite in the style of "The Lord of the Rings", yet less confusing and therefore great as a LOTR prelim. I loved this book as child and still enjoy it, as I have it as audio book. The story is equiped with all the creatures and adventures a common fairy tale would have but captures the reader more in that fantasy world. Thumbs up.

J.R.R. Tolkein is by far my favorite author and the Hobbit is only one of my favorite tales that he has created. The heartwarming tale of the beloved hobbit Bilbo Baggins and his 13 dwarf companions on their way to the Lonely Mountain, never looses its magic and appeal. Filled with magical lands and creatures it's a tale that not only appeals to adults but to children as well. You're always rooting for the characters and exclaiming aloud when they're about to be squashed into jelly! I highly recommend the Hobbit and the trilogy that follows it!

J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit is a wonderful book! The book was originally meant to be a children's book, but me? This book is for everyone! It's filled with adventure, suspense, and humor! I recommend this book to any fantasy lover. You won't be disappointed. :)

Hello Ari! First of all, I understand, you're entitled to your own opinion. But, I really do need to clear something up. You need to remember, The Hobbit was aimed for a younger group of audiences...you know, children. This is the type of book in where I can picture parents reading this to their children by the fireplace or something. :P Yes, it can get tedious for an adult to read, but you know how children are. They wanna hear the story over and over and over and over. lol Just something to keep in mind. :)

I know that this book is a classic, but I really just found it a tedious read.

J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the most celebrated authors in the literary world. Many of his books have won awards and been turned into other stories, and movies. But in my opinion, The Hobbit wasn't one of his better books.
