The fairy tale is infinitely more charming than the epic, the battle story more touching than the war saga. One often forgets, when considering...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“If you like fantasy, this a great book to read. Truthfully, I preferred this book to the Tolkien triology that followed it.”

“My favorite of the LOTR series, even if it's technically not part of the series. Beautifully written, detail allows you to enter the world between the pages.”

“This is actually more interesting than Lord of The Rings, to be honest. I always like to read about what's behind the story, and maybe even the story of a story. It makes me understand the whole book, the plot and theme, a lot more.

“A fun book told by a lovely old man of a narrator, a man not so nostalgiac to annoy but enough to make you wish for, against your better sense, for pastoral simplicity and wondrous adventure. The book seems to hurry at the end, after the final encounter between Bilbo and Smaug. Tolkien hurries through a titanic battle then brings Bilbo home safe and sound. ”

Decided to reread this book after talking about it with a friend. First read approx age 12 in 1969. Fun quick read, but don’t feel compelled to reread the subsequent trilogy Lord of the Rings.”“Great book!”

“One of, I think, Tolkien's best. I mean, short little cute guys with hairy feet, you can't loose, eh? Bilbo Baggins! This is a story unto itself, but also the beginning of the ultimate quest story. Even if you never read Tolkien's 'Ring' series, this is a must.”
