The Hobbit

This is an AWESOME way to read the Hobbit -- especially for the first time you read the story to your kids. It gives the characters personalities and a visual texture to the book. It is wonderful.

The whole book is there, and there are many, many full page illustrations. The visuals are especially great for Gollum, and the Spiders, and Smaug -- the illustrations are just marvelous.

(The illustrations are taken from the 70's era Rankin-Bass animated Hobbit -- fun to own and watch.)

I had to read the Hobbit for my advanced English class.. Lets just say that this book and I don't get along. Its well written and has a good plot. But its just the way the narrator and characters speak confused me whole time. It deserves stars for just being an ok book, but I would never read this of my own will.

I loved the Hobbit!!! It is an easy read about Bilbo Baggins and his adventures with Gandalf and 13 dwarves. I cant wait for the movie. I think it will be as good as LOTR.

This is my first Kindle book, and probably the first 'proper' dead wood book I ever read! I cant think of a story that has drawn me in as much as The Hobbit, and after seventy years it remains the best fantasy book ever written in my humble opinion. Sure the Lord of the Rings trilogy is fantastic, but The Hobbit is a far less challenging and better paced read, written in Tolkiens fantastic language!

Over half way through now, I just dont know what to read next, is there a better book out there?

I grew up as a child reading The Hobbit and watching the old animated movie. Even though it has been many years since I first read the book, it still holds a place in my heart as one of the most timeless and enjoyable books I have ever read. This tale of adventure is one that will always live on through the genertions and hold a place deep within our hearts.
