“ Definitely recommend it.”

★★★★☆

written by CruzBrown on 24/12/2020

The Hobbit is a must-read if you're a fan of fantasy. At first, the book is slow, sure, and yes it's a little long for some readers but it is a great read once you are about ⅖ into the book. Although this book was made in 1937, it's still a classic. Definitely recommend it.

“GREAT!!”

★★★★★

written by Pollinezia on 10/04/2016

Just I love it! Honestly, I just do not know his biography and what books he has written other than Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and all written there. But! One thing I can say with confidence - a book about the fantastic country of hobbits, orcs, elves, dragons and wizards - UNIQUE! I do not know a person who has not read the book or watched the movie based on the book. This tale, which makes us believe in miracles, shows the eternal struggle between good and evil. What Tolkien optsyvaet landscapes, battle ... Just no words to describe it. Read on and if there are present, you see all hang out with all the characters, grieve for each lost a "friend." Re-read the entire trilogy with The Hobbit probably 6 times and I will re-read many times. And this is the tale that would began to read for my children.

★★★★★

written by thepaladin on 07/07/2006

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit is written as a young persons novel, and it's wonderful. It will lead into Tolkien's other works and open the door to imagination in a wonderful way.

“I would have to start off by saying that The Hobbit:...”

★★★★★

written by ZackMan on 21/12/2005

I would have to start off by saying that The Hobbit: The Enchanting Prelude to the Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite books. The Author is J.R.R. Tolkien, who is the author of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, as well as The Silmarillion and many other excellent books.

Once you get into this book you will be spending all of your spare time reading it. It is very addictive. It also lays a must-have foundation for the rest of the Lord Of The Ring series.

It is about the travels of Bilbo Baggins (Frodo Baggins' Uncle), and the finding of The Ring, as well as the Battle of Five Armies. It contains a lot of the L.O.T.R. history, and it is definitely a book you must read.

The only downside to the book is that it does contain many songs (or poems) in the story, which may become boring to read if you do not like that kind of literature. All you have to do though is to skip the songs because they have no real importance to the story.

I must finish this review by stating that you will greatly miss out on an excellent book if you do not buy this one.

“J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit - Well, as much as I have...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by GimliOfTheHole on 16/09/2004

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit - Well, as much as I have really tried to enjoy this collection, I will still have to give it an overall thumbs down. Good sound-effects do not make up for the utter lack of skill on the parts of the actors/voice effects. This could be the fault of the producers too. All of the characters save two, Thorin and Beorn, sound like munchkins from Wizard of Oz...including Gandalf. As was already stated, the creatures in this re-creation all sound as though they are robots because of the voice manipulation. When more than one creature is talking it becomes a mishmash of unintelligible rabble. Gollum is the exception to this rule. He is very well-voiced, if not even a bit scary with all of his sputtering and gollum-ing. Some mispronounciations of characters (Gollum is gah-LOOM and Thorin is toe-REEN) are also a minor distraction. I won't even get into the singing.

This collection very plainly states that it is abridged...so if you're looking for something that is unabridged, the best bet is the collection voiced by Robert Inglis. Though sans sound effects, he absolutely captures the characters in all regards...though the singing here is also questionable, it is far superior to that of the reviewed collection.
