Now a major motion picture.A great modern classic and the prelude to THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid … plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.
A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible . . . All those, young or old, who love a fine adventurous tale, beautifully told, will take The Hobbit to their hearts. -New York Times Book Review

The Hobbit
This book is amazing I have read it before but I have to pay for it on here. But if you do get a chance to read it, but if you like Fantasy- and things that go along with it, you will love it. I hope you take my word and buy it and read it.
A Must read!!!!
Tolkien wrote this for his children, but it is a must read before you read the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Be sure to read this and the trilogy, even if you have seen the movies!
i like this foreeeeeeevvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrrr
sssdddeewecerr
A classic that was truly written like a master. J.R.R. Tolkien creates masterfully written books written in exquisite detail from his world building to his humorous dialouge, he has made this as one of the best books ever written. Not just that! He created fantasy. Trully a must-read!
The Hobbits kept me turning the pages. I found the characters as in character-building to be original, interesting, mostly loveable, and characters that take you on the journey of a lifetime.
loved it, a must read before beginning the Lord of the Rings Trilogy
One of the best fantasy books of all time!
I’m constantly rereading it! Love it to death!
A classic that I think every child should read.
Good read. Read it before, but worth going back to again.
Love it! Great introduction to fantasy and Tolkien’s Middle Earth.
In pop-culture, the Tolkien Universe is the foundation upon which the majority of fantasy works find their inspiration.
A single person, no matter how insignificant, can change the world.
In my top ten all-time favorite books!
Tolkiennnnn
I love the cadence of the conversations. You must read it soon before the English written language goes out of existence. Favorite part: The English language as spoken in the 400’s in Middle Earth.
Fantastic adventure story.
Without a doubt, one of, if not the best fantasy stories ever written. Tolkien knew how to build a world. Middle earth is so detailed that you could go there and feel at home. The characters are exceptional. Thorn Oakenshield is probably one of the finest dwarf characters ever written. The hobbits themselves are so unique and interesting. …
I love this book. It was one of the first fantasy books I ever read. It lit my imagination on fire and it has not quit since. If you still have not read this book, pick it up now.
Classic, I reread it often
