Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit who wanted nothing more than to be alone in quiet comfort. But, a wizard named Gandalf came along with a group of homeless dwarves. Soon thereafter, Bilbo is drawn to help the dwarves in thier quest. He has to face evil orcs, giant spiders, savage wolves and go against things of even a higher danger. In the end, Bilbo must fight the great dragon Smaug, who is a terror to all who know it's name... Review : A good book if you are looking for an adventure. Well writen, although a first person narritive is a bad touch (but it was origanally written as a story for his children). There are small adventures that spring off of the main adventure, which hardly ever is boring to read. A fun book overall. 304 pages.

Review: A good book to start a wonderful series. You do not even need to know a thing about Star Wars to read this. It would help a bit so you can understand some of the history, but the book pretty much explains what you need to know. A little bit childish, but not too bad. It will make you want to keep reading through the series. So if you like Star Wars or even if you don't, I think you would enjoy this book.
