The Art of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien by Wayne G. Hammond, J.R.R. Tolkien, Christina Scull
5.0
Title: The Hobbit
Author: J. R. R. Tolkien
Recommended age: 10+
Summary: The story begins in the Shire, a peaceful part of a world known as Middle-Earth inhabited by a small race of people known as hobbits. To most hobbits, including Bilbo Baggins, adventures are nasty things that make you late for dinner. However when the wizard Gandalf shows up at your door, an adventure is never too far behind. Poor Bilbo is chosen to join a company of dwarves determined to reclaim their home under the Lonely Mountain. The group of heroes must face trolls, goblins, huge spiders, and much worse if they are ever to succeed.
Review: In my opinion, J. R. R. Tolkien’s Hobbit is one of the best books ever written for children. As I’m sitting here listening to the music from the movie soundtrack, it reminds me why I love this book so much.
The Hobbit is full of magic, adventure, and will keep you turning the pages. Tolkien wrote this book in a way the seems like he’s telling the story directly to the reader. While this book was written for children, it is a fun and light-hearted read for all ages. Even if you tried reading The Lord of the Rings and didn’t care for it, I would still recommend giving The Hobbit a try. Compared to Lord of the Rings, the plot of The Hobbit is easier to follow and less complex with fewer characters to worry about. If you are a big fan of The Lord of the Rings, and have not read The Hobbit , reading it will give you a detailed account of how Bilbo discovered the One Ring. The Hobbit was written 75 years ago so younger readers may find some unfamiliar words. Fans of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Ink trilogy, and The Inheritance cycle will find this book enjoyable. In fact, many of today’s popular fantasy novels would not have existed if it weren’t for Tolkien, who showed people that fantasy was not just for kids. Tolkien’s books contain a cast of exciting and horrific characters. Hobbits, dwarves, elves, trolls, goblins, and other races inhabit the mythical land of Middle-Earth which readers young and old will be drawn to. The Hobbit is one of the world’s most beloved modern classics and if you have not read it I encourage you to pick up a copy and discover why.
