We bought this book along the 50th anniversary edition LOTR books and we were not dissapointed - the illustrations are all in glossy paper and some in colour the way Tolkien wanted them, it is a collectors edition highly recommended for those who love Tolkien's work and are keen to get a head start of the upcoming"The Hobbit" and "The Hobbit: Sequel" movies out soon!

The Hobbit by Tolkien is most definitely one of the best books ever. My Dad very first read it to me when I was probably only 7, and I know I will still love it when I'm 100.
The edition itself is amazing. The illustrations are by Tolkien, as they should be. The best illustrations in any book are either by the author or by someone the author personally chooses, because the reader can be sure that everything is illustrated as the author imagined it. Many times when an author illustrates his own book, the art is not the best quality, but not in this case. Tolkien was a great and creative artist in addition to being one of the best authors of all time.

The Hobbit is a fairly good book. It has an interesting storyline and grabs the reader throughout the whole novel. I for one read it when I was in the 5th grade at school. I found it interesting and usually was a chapter or two ahead of the class. The Hobbit is a beginning book. What I mean by this is that it takes a lot of time explaining the story. This takes up a couple of chapters and I think it would have been a better book if it had built some more suspense in the end scene and extrapolated it a bit more. But otherwise, this book has few shortcomings. Other than the fact that they spent a lot of time in Mirkwood forest, I liked the book. Beorn was portrayed well. The plot line is nice, although there is a kill stealing at the end. All-in-all, I recommend this book.

"A classic. Some consider it a children's book, but it's certainly no more so than the Harry Potter series."
-- Glenn G. Thater, Author of 'Harbinger of Doom'
