This is really a very old book. Tolkien wrote over sixty years ago. This tells the story of how the ring was found. It is the prequel to the Lord of the Ring trilogy. Many teenagers science fiction and fantasy lovers have ring this book in high school. There is an animated movie version of this book. There are many different printings of this book. Tolkien was a linguists and invented the elven language. Many of the creature created in his stories become source material for future fantasy stores. I enjoyed reading this books several times.
The book is boring and poorly written but if it had a different writer it could have been great.

I read this book for the first time when I was 12. I'm 23 now and still love it more with each reading. Tolkein is a master storyteller, and I bought this book so that my 11-year-old niece can start enjoying Tolkein as much as I do. This is the perfect book to start a 10 year+ child on. I would recommend his book "Roverandom" for younger children--or those still children at heart!
Very good book got my attention right from the beginning.Its full of action pack wants you to keep going and never put the book, easy to follow and not confusing.
It is Tolkien, enough said! I had to buy The Hobbit since I just finished reading The Lord Of The Rings trilogy for the first time. I wanted to read The Hobbit before it comes out as a motion picture.
