The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings

Rating:
Summary: These books have got to be the greatest novels written.
Review: The best novels I've ever read.I read them everyday and have three videos made from them. Over forty hours of tapes and five 100page artbooks. Nothing can beat these. I agree sincerely with the person who said,"If by the age of fourteen you have read the Lord of the rings and do not love them, there is obviously something wrong with you." No truer words were ever spoken!!

Review: I read the Hobbit and there was never a dullmoment. lots of little bits of history were tucked in the book and made me want to read further. I now HAVE to read all of the other Hobbit books.

Summary: Mostly wonderful, but...
Review: Thank God for the teacher who introduced me to the books when I was twelve--they almost instantly became some of my favorite books. I think enough positive reviews have been written here that I don't really need to go through everything I loved about them, since I'd only be repeating everyone else. However, there were a few things that bothered me about the book. First, there didn't seem to be a whole lot of character development, apart from Frodo and possibly Sam. Second, I always found myself wishing that at least one of the awesome female characters could have been given a larger role, instead of just hovering almost ornamentally in the background. I realize that this is just a matter of personal preference, though, so don't get on my case about it. I still think that The Lord of the Rings is one of the best literary works ever!

Summary: It could not possibly get any better han this!
Review: Anyone who did not or would not give this a 5 star review either needs their heads examined or knows nothing about fantasy. Tolkien is the grandfather of fantasy and deserves to go down in history as the greatest fantasy writer ever. Every fantasy book since, has been influenced the Hobbit and the Lord of The Rings. I have read over 200 fanyasy books since and very few even come close.
