The Hobbit
Publisher: HarperCollins
This is the classic story of Bilbo Baggins - a home-loving hobbit who enjoys a quiet and contented life in his cosy hobbit hole and has no desire to travel afar. But then the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services, and soon Bilbo finds himself part of an extraordinary expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the Dragon - and on the way becomes the possessor of a very unusual ring.
This well-loved fantasy has delighted both children and adults ever since its first publication in 1937. Full of magic, humour and adventure, it continues to offer plenty to entertain and engage today's young readers who are discovering it for the first time.

I really liked all the different parts of the book for example were they stole the gold, when they were in the goblin hole and when there was an unexpected party at Bilbo's. Also I loved the unusual characters - dwarfs, hobbits, humans, elf's etc.

A book full of adventure, heroism, song and laughter, featuring landscapes that are quintessentially English - the Shire the Hobbits inhabit could easily be an England of yesteryear. But soon the Shire is left behind and Bilbo, our reluctant hero, encounters Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Eagles and Wizards as the party passes through Rivendell, The Misty Mountains and Mirkwood on their way to the Lonely Mountain, in order to take back treasure stolen by the great dragon Smaug.

A heart warming story, about a hobbit who does something he never thought he would. I favoured the character Gandalf and the part is when they fly away on the giant eagles.

This is a extremely moving fiction story and I enjoyed reading it very much, about Bilbo the dwarf and I also found it tricky to put this book down! I think you should really check it out! :)

I think this is an overall good book to read in your spare time. I liked the part where Bilbo was told to leave his house and was whisked away and got to the dwarves just in the nick of time.

I think the book was alright I liked the part when Bilbo Baggins stole the ring and escaped by turning invisible. But my favourite part is when they fought the Orcs. Overall I liked it it was a good book.

This book has a great story and full of adventure. It was exciting and engaging. As you read on you can't put it down. The story line is about what happened before The Lord of the Rings. So you want to know what happened before all that happened.
