| | The Hobbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Hobbit is a story written by J. | | | This revision became the second edition, published in 1951 in both UK and American editions. | | | As Tolkien presented himself as the translator of the supposedly historic Red Book of Westmarch, where Bilbo and Frodo's stories were recorded, he further explained the two differing stories in The Hobbit by stating he had originally used Bilbo's original story, but later retranslated the work with the "true story" recorded by Frodo. |

| | The Hobbit, by JRR Tolkien |
| | In the end, it is the story of the average person, a person who loves his creature comforts, and yet is stirred to do great things by the forces of destiny and his own indomitable will. | | | Yet he has certain latent qualities that suit him to the job, not the least are his courage, intelligence, wit and natural Hobbit stealthiness. | | | He was a philologist, a lover of language, who at a very young age began to develop his own languages. |

| | TAP: Vol 12, Iss. 10. Kicking the Hobbit. Chris Mooney. |
| | Tolkien's phalanx of adoring literary defenders insist that his story of hobbits and Middle Earth is an outstanding, original, and, above all, thoroughly modern literary work that has been unjustly maligned by snobbish literati. | | | Tolkien himself was no fan of these fans, some of whom to this day take his famous comment "I am in fact a hobbit" as an invitation to get together and dress up as characters from the novel. | | | In 1956 W.H. Auden wrote in The New York Times that, in some respects, Tolkien's story of the hobbit Frodo's quest to destroy the Dark Lord Sauron's "One Ring" of power surpassed even Milton's Paradise Lost. |

| | Tolkien himself said that the word, "hobbit" meant hole-builder or (as he said in "The Lord of the Rings") hole-dwellers. | | | Tolkien gave a description in the book itself, which gives us a pretty good idea. | | | Now, this bloke was as much a scholar as an author. |

| | Amazon.com: The Hobbit (Collector's Edition): Books: J.R.R. Tolkien |
| | I don't think "The Hobbit" is a bad book, and I think if I had first read it as a young kid, I might have loved it. | | | But Elrond hints at the full majesty of the Elves, and Thorin Oakenshield is still the most dignified, proud and impressively flawed dwarf there is. The last chapters of the book hint at the epic majesty of "Lord of the Rings," and some of the same victory/loss themes. | | | In my view, "The Hobbit" is a pretty good story with some major structural flaws that detract from the pleasure of reading it. |

| | The Hobbit for PC Review - PC The Hobbit Review |
| | The Hobbit is generally quite faithful to the novel it's based on. | | | In contrast to the grand scope of J. Tolkien's epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, the story of The Hobbit is the much smaller, more personal affair, chronicling the first big adventure of a reluctant young halfling by the name of Bilbo Baggins. | | | The Hobbit is an elemental tale in the genre of high fantasy, and the story elements lifted from the book are some of the strongest elements in the game. |

| | GameSpy.com - Review |
| | In the book, the reason Gandalf and the dwarves shanghai Bilbo into their quest is the fact that, respectable hobbit that he is, he has burglar's blood in his veins. | | | There are, however, a couple of elements inspired by the novel that keep The Hobbit from being an utterly generic platform game. | | | In terms of its action, The Hobbit seems more inspired by games like the Sonic Adventure series than the novel it's named for -- unless I missed the part where Bilbo runs around the Shire collecting coins and colorful jewels that magically jump into his pockets. |

| | Well, welcome back to Middle Earth in the Third Age. | | | The plot of "The Hobbit" centers on Bilbo Baggins, a character who is notoriously reluctant to engage in adventure or excitement, yet is constantly enticed by the possibility each time it confronts him. | | | If you remember Bilbo Baggins, hero and spokesman for "the little people," Gandolf, the wizard, and Smaug, the dragon, you probably grew up in the '70s, when "The Hobbit," J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel of fantasy and adventure, enjoyed a literary and cultural resurgence. |

| | The Hobbit Review - GameCube |
| | The novel of The Hobbit is the precursor of the trilogy, and is a more light-hearted approach to Middle-Earth, with a much more simplistic story than The Lord of the Rings. | | | Choosing the book, The Hobbit, as a setting for an action/adventure video game is a natural, given the intense interest in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, popularized right now by a highly successful series of movies. | | | The same goes for the trolls, dwarves, spiders, elves and of course, Gandalf and Gollum. |
