The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Review by Alex

The hobbit is a wonderful story written by J.R.R Tolkien. The Hobbit or There and Back Again is a book about a midget, as some would call it, or as it is called in the book, a hobbit. The main character is a hobbit named Bilbo, along with his accompanists’ 13 dwarfs Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin. It happened one Tuesday morning when Bilbo was on his front step smoking a pipe. An unexpected guest comes and talks to Bilbo. It turns out to be an old friend Gandalf the wizard. He asked, “Won’t you come to tea tomorrow”. So when the next day comes, instead of Gandalf, 13 dwarfs come. They talk about Thorin’s grandfather’s old castle built into the Lonely Mountain. They danced, sang, and partied all night. Bilbo woke up and didn’t think he’d ever see them again. The next day, Gandalf comes saying that he needs to go to the Prancing Pony because he is going with them and he needs to be there by 10:00 and it’s already 9:50. So Bilbo goes on the adventure with Gandalf. This is the beginning of Bilbo’s adventure and The Lord of the Rings.

  2. This is a GREAT book. I have read it many times. It is a good book to read if you like the Lord of the Rings movies and books, Although I would suggest reading it after reading (or watching) the Lord of the Rings books (or movies).
