  The Hobbit, By J.R.R. Tolkien  review by Carl K

  The Hobbit was a delightful read that brings us into Tolkien's created realm of Middle Earth.  Tolkien has a wonderful way with storytelling, and this book is a great stepping stone for kids in elementary school to get into more complex fantasy writing later in their reading.  The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, other Middle Earth novels, and compilations are much broader in scope and detail, but this story of a hobbit that gets caught by the strange breezes of life is mostly lighthearted and fun.

You never know where the river that washes up at your door may lead you!  This is worth a read for young and old.
