Description

J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy masterpiece The Hobbit is a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves and giant spiders, conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather unwilling presence at the Battle of the Five Armies are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of children's fiction. Written by Professor Tolkien for his own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when published.

    I read the hardcover version of The Hobbit, and it's an incredible book, my favorite. How can people think it's for nerds? Really, it's an entertaining read for all, you just have to give it a chance. It's not that hard to read either. Just focus and enjoy it.

  • Great book.

    I liked that Bilbo Baggins got the magic ring. And I liked Bard from the Lake Town too. I also liked Thorin Oakenshield. But I didn't like Smog the dragon. I want to make a book like the Hobbit when I grow up. (Henry - age 5) I really liked it too! (Henry's daddy)

  • Pleasant

    I love this book it has one of my favorites and yes I am going into 7th grade and have to read this book. First I thought this could possibly the stupidest book I have ever read but it is full of adventures and I love the riddles and I would recommend this book cause it has a lot of detail and for people who say they can't keep track it is not the books fault that YOU can't keep track. But all in all it is a wonderful book! :)

  • Buggy!!!
