I've Read the Hobbit 12xs

I have 3 copies of the Hobbit, including the paperback that travels with me when I'm re-reading it on the go. I downloaded this edition for my Kindle, the paperback is falling to bits, and I do love my KIndle. Child or  Adult, this book is a book well worth reading when you would like some adventure.

Sadly I never read The Hobbit until this year.  It is truly a classic piece of literature.  While not as enjoyable to me as The Lord of the Rings, it is true that you really can't have one without the other.  It was truly an enjoyable and easy read and I love how Tolkien spoke to the audience throughout the book.

I read Lord of the Rings in 2004. I am enjoying reading it again. Tolkien is a master story teller.

1200 pages of hobbits walking around. I'm a long time reader of fantasy/sci fi and such, and finally got around to reading this. Honestly I liked the movies better, over all. The book did help fill in some holes, as the movie had to jump around so much, I honestly wasn't sure who all the groups were and what was going on sometimes. Now that I read the story I need to watch the films again.

I would ready anything by J. R. R. Tolkien so I am a biased reader.  That said, I was not disappointed.

It was the latest hobbit movies that made me think of reading it again, especially to confirm the differences in the movies versus the book.  I found myself loving it just as much as when I read the first time!  I know some people don't like Tolkien's stories, but I love them!

After seeing the recent Hobbit movie, I decided to re-read the book again. I had forgot a lot, but had fun enjoying them again.

The Hobbit is my favorite book from my childhood. I remember falling in love with it when I first read it, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I like to reread the wonderful book now and again as an adult, particularly around Holiday season.

I first read The Hobbit back in the 1960's.  After watching the first two Hobbit movies and in anticipation of the third one this coming winter I purchased the Kindle edition and have greatly enjoyed it.

Tolkien has created a new mythology for us!  It's classic literature that never gets old.  I bought the Kindle versions of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings because my print versions are almost wore out.  I like to go back to Middle Earth every few years.  Now I can journey with the Hobbits and see Dwarfs, Elves and Wizards without lugging paperbacks that are falling apart.

Confession time. I've never read The Lord of the Rings trilogy all the way through. I know, I know. It's absolutely crazy. Everybody and their mother have read those books. (Well, I'm not sure if my mother has read them, either.) I have read The Hobbit and at least some of the first book of the trilogy. (And I have watched the movies). I have fond memories of reading The Fellowship of the Ring while holding my son for his evening nap. And I've always meant to go back and finish the books, but never have.

Along those same lines, I didn't know much about J.R.R. Tolkien before reading this biography. I knew of his relationship with C.S. Lewis (whom I have read a lot) and I knew the four key books of his career. That was about it. Having read this, I have a greater appreciation for the struggles he faced in mustering the confidence needed to write and get published. And gaining a clearer understanding of the vision that drove him to write is uniquely inspiring as well.

I did feel like the book was somewhat thin on details and what was presented was often repeated. Be that as it may, I'm glad that I read it and I suppose I have a renewed interest in revisiting those books. . . after I get through the other stack of books waiting to be read.

Each year I read the Lord of the rings, this is my nineteenth and it is still both sad and satisfying to finish.  As I grow, so does my appreciation of Tolkien's work.

You should read The Lord of the Rings. It is awesome, cool, rad, crazy awesome and so cool.  I liked the hobbit the best. It was a great book

I have multiple copies of the Hobbit. This one is so I can enjoy the beautiful illistrations by Alan Lee. The story of the Hobbit is great for all ages, it really sucks you in. Tolkien's descriptions are so vivid. It's a great adventure.

The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings is the greatest work of literature of  the twentieth century. I have  read all of the books  at least a dozen times since I was a teenager. The story is always fresh and fascinating.

This was possibly my 4th or 5th reading of The Hobbit -- separated by decades -- enjoy it every time! This issue seems true =- a few typos here and there, but seems to contain everything  I remembered including maps.

I regret I never read this before.  I loved this book!  I have read only technical books and college assignments my entire adult life.  Suddenly, after watching the 1st of the 3 Hobbit movies coming out over the next year or two, I had to know what happens next.  I bought this ebook.  Now my love for reading is renewed.  I couldn't believe that I would put down an engineering book for a story and I'm glad I did.
