Summaries: The Hobbit

These are my Summaries, they won't be as good as the actual real document because I can't remember everything I wrote and I did not re-read the books plus I read the books over 2-3 weeks ago..

The Hobbit:
Author J.R.R Tolkein
'The Hobbit' is a story based on a hobbit (a creature that looks like a human with curly hair and is only 4 foot tall) by the name of Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo was a very respected hobbit in his comunity because he never went on any adventures of any sort nor did he do peculiar things.(Hobbits are creatures that do not like to go on adventures, however they like to listen to stories about adventures.)

So that is why this book is very special because it is about Mr. Baggins first adventure.

Bilbo is taken by Gandalf the Grey (a Wizard from the story) and thirteen dwarves on a mission to regain the 'Lonely Mountain' which the dwarves had lost to the dragon Smaug. Bilbo is the burglar of the group.
During the adventure Bilbo discovers how interesting adventures are but he still wishes to be home in his comfy chair by the fire. Also on the journey Bilbo meets strange people like Gollum. Bilbo also learns wisdom and becomes very courageous (shown in the end where he betrays the dwarves to try stop the war).

I would reccomend this book to people of all ages because it is very interesting and is also very exciting
