Hobbits are comfort loving creatures with no real sense for adventure. A knock on the door and Bilbo’s life is about to change. Calling this book children's book is like calling "Alice in Wonderland" [see “The Annotated Alice”] a children's book. Yes children can read this book and it is fun. How ever there is a lot more to this book than a cute story. And it has all the depth of the other Tolkien works with the exception of being shorter. Many people look at this story as a prequel to “The Lord of the Rings”, where in reality it is a stand-alone story with a perfectly good beginning, middle, and end. When you read "The Lord of the Rings" there is enough description to forgo "The Hobbit." Personally, I find that reading The Lord of the Rings first gave me the in-depth background to better appreciate The Hobbit. Many of the creatures and adventures will put you on the edge of your seat. You will recognize the personalities and grow along will Bilbo as he faces new challenges as he learns to deal with life. A good book to read first would be “The Power of Myth” by Joseph Campbell. Then you get a clearer picture of why the story progresses as it does. Review: Un libro extraordinario en una edición excepcional. El libro, como objeto es hermoso; letra adecuada, impresión impecable; ilustraciones perfectamente presntadas. Estoy feliz con esta adquisión. El Hobbit, una de mis obras favoritas, ahora tiene una digna representación en mi biblioteca. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Amazon Bestseller | #74,417 in Foreign Language Books ( See Top 100 in Foreign Language Books ) #668 in Epic Fantasy (Foreign Language Books) #4,404 in Teen & Young Adult Books #12,167 in Children's Books (Foreign Language Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,316) | | Dimensions | 6.75 x 1.25 x 9 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | 7 and up | | ISBN-10 | 0395177111 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0395177112 | | Item Weight | 1.16 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 1973 | | Publisher | Clarion Books | | Reading age | 12 years and up | ## Images ![The Hobbit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-ouw5sbEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a story that grows with the reader. *by B***) on July 17, 2005* In a mythical or maybe just forgotten time, many creatures lived in places like the Shire, home to Bilbo Baggins, Hobbit.
