4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as described, March 20, 2007
By Tim (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This is a fun adaptation of Tolkien's classic work and I enjoy it as such, but it is *not* as described here by Amazon. First, buyers need to know that this is a graphic novel and an abridgment of Tolkien's work. Second, it is *not* illustrated by Alan Lee as stated in Amazon's description, the illustrations were done by David Wenzel. This is a glaring mistake that Amazon needs to correct quickly. There are plenty of Alan Lee fans out there, especially after the LOTR movies were made with his assistance, and those fans may be disappointed to find the work of a different illustrator show up in their mailbox. Amazon also gives the wrong ISBN-10 number, though I doubt many will notice or care.

Having said all this, I have enjoyed this adaptation of Tolkien's work. I bought it primarily for my 5 year old daughter who is a bit too young for the unabridged and non-illustrated novel but is still very interested in the story. She loves for me to read it to her and she gets a fuller and more accurate depiction of the story than the 1977 cartoon video provides.

I recommend this work, but Amazon needs a fuller, more honest description of what buyers will be receiving.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Joy ride of Fantasy, October 27, 2003
The book was amazing, it is a must read. I would would recommend the book for any skill level of reading. The adventures are imaginitive and in detail. The author Tolkien takes your mind to another place. The book is a great start to a series. The journey of Bilbo is fast moving and keeps you on the edge of your seat.I don't know why Hollywood didn't start the movvies off with this. The characters are mysterious and funny. The history, set, characters, and background fit and work great together.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Start for Tolkien, June 3, 2004
By John (Florida) - See all my reviews
I never used to like Harry Potter- I had never read the book. I did and I wanted to read more more more. This is the same way. I have just read this book and I found it truly a brilliant, magical fantasy epic.

This magical story starts of telling you about Bilbo and his hobbit-hole (I had to put down the book for a while, I will admit.... don't do it though... once you get past that part it gets much better). He, a wizard (Gandalf) and 12 dwarves set off for a great adventure to defeat the great Dragon Smaug and get back the treasure he once stole from the town of Dale. They all will get an equal share once they find it. Along the way they meet:

-goblins
-eagles
-wolves
-elves
-giant spiders
-and many other things

What a fantastic story. A MUST read. After this you must also read The Lord of the Rings Series. Here's the order:

-The Fellowship of the Ring
-The Two Towers
-The Return of the King

These are all now movies and all on DVD and Video Tape.
