The Hobbit is a fictional fantasy about adventure, friendship and bravery. It is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who was confronted at his home by a wizard and a group of dwarves who wanted him to go a quest with them to retake their home that has been taken over by an evil dragon named Smaug. On their journey the party encounters many mystical creatures such as elves, goblins, dwarves and dragons.
This book was written by J.R.R. Tolkien. I think that he did a very nice job with book. One of my favorite things about it was the detail that he would put into every character and place you would meet during this story. It was almost like you could write a whole new book about the life of any other character in the book. J.R.R. Tolkien was known for writing about adventures on the planet middle earth. (This is where the hobbit took place.) the hobbit was one of the twelve books written about middle earth. Perhaps the most known story would be the sequel to the hobbit. (The Lord of the Ring series.)
I thought that this was a very good book. The first couple of chapters in the book were pretty dull because it was mostly about introducing the characters, but once I got deeper into the story I really started to enjoy it. I think that it is brilliant how J.R.R Tolkien can create his own planet, create a few of his own species and be able to compact all of the information you need to know into one book that is just over 300 pages.
If you were thinking about reading this book I would definitely recommend it. The only thing is that you will need to be patient and wait for the story to get good.

Kevin thought the book was a very good. He said the first couple of chapters were boring, but when he got farther into the book he started to enjoy it. His favorite thing was the authors detail that he puts into every character and place you meet during the story. I would read this book. The book reviewed sounded like very interesting to read. The review was ok. He forgot to put an interesting passage into his review. Overall it was good.
ReplyDeleteKevin seemed to have a very good impression of this book. Every thing he says (other than the part about the introduction) is positive. The writing style seems to very detailed. The reader knows every detail about every character. A weakness of this review would be the selection from the book seeing as there isn't one. Josh read the same book and both reviews seem to sy basically the same thing about the book: long into, but lot of details. As before, I might consider reading this book, because although i hate long intros, it seems to be a very good book in general.
ReplyDelete1. Kevin's overall impression of the book was good. He seemed to enjoy the different characters and the made up plant.
ReplyDelete2.Kevin notices that J.R.R. Tolkien wrote very descriptively. He said you could write a book about each separate character.
3.The weakness about this review is there is no piece from the book.
4.It seems to be the same as other Hobbit reviews I have read. Long Intro but the story is very interesting.
5. I have read this book before and it is very interesting
Kevin seemed to enjoy this book and would recommend reading it. He noticed that the author was very descriptive. Every setting, every character was well described. There was no passage from the book. The review was good and seemed similar to other fantasy books i have read. I think i would like this book because i like books of science fiction and fantasy
ReplyDeleteKevins overall impression of the book was that it was very good. He noticed and liked how the author put alot detail into the story. There wasn't a passage from the book and I dont understand why. This is a good review but it wouldve been better if the outline was followed and it included the quotes from the story. I would consider reading this book. Although I dont know if I would like how long the introducton is because he says its boring.

1.Kevin's overall review of this book was a very positive one. Said he enjoyed reading it.

3.N/A....... Kevin forgot to put in a passage.
4.I think Kevin did a very good job compared to the other book reviews i read.
