5.0 out of 5 stars Great graphic art work and story
Great art work and story. It’s not the company’s fault that I’m farsighted and found the print challenging to read sometimes. Well put together book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Well illustrated adaptation
I purchased this illustrated edition of The Hobbit, primarily to be a gift to my adult children to read to their children. I have read The Hobbit numerous times over the past 50 years or so, along with the Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, and other works by J.R.R. Tolkien. Some have expressed dissatisfaction with this adaptation, whether because some parts were left out or glossed over, or the illustrations weren't what they expected, or the illustrations had too much dialog covering them. J.R.R. Tolkien himself commented on the reception his books received while he was still alive. He had received letters asking for more information about Hobbits and Middle-earth, and others saying that there was too much. I believe that he understood that no book or story would please everyone on every point, and that one must do the best they can on what they do, and not worry about pleasing everyone. Clearly, this edition does not please everyone, but I don't believe that it was intended to.There are two releases of the illustrated edition, with two different covers. The copies that I purchased were used, and shipped from private bookstores through Bolo, but not from Bolo. Both releases have the same story illustrations in them, but the illustrations before and after the story are different, Also, the covers were illustrated by two different artists, but the story was illustrated by a third artist.This edition stays true to the tale in J.R.R. Tolkien's, The Hobbit. Unlike Peter Jackson's movies, which change the storyline in significant ways, this adaptation does not change any of the storyline, though with only 134 pages, it does not go into great depth. It does address the major points of the story, and illustrates them in clear, well drawn illustrations.I have read The Hobbit onto a set of CD's that my older grandchildren listened to when they were little and again as their younger siblings listened to them. I know that they will enjoy this illustrated edition, and the parents or older siblings will read the story to the little ones, discuss the pictures and help the little one's understand the story.Graphic adaptations to stories don't appeal to everyone, particularly those purists who love the original works and don't want them changed. I consider myself a Tolkien purist, but can appreciate the quality of the illustrations and the accuracy of this adaptation. I would recommend this illustrated edition to those who want to share The Hobbit with children they hold dear, or for the child in each of us who wants to rediscover the story in a new way.
5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any Tolkien household:)
I love reading the hobbit and LOTR so when I saw this I had to grab it. I bought a few manga style books for my niece to read with me when she’s over. She is only 4 but loves ‚reading‘ with me (gotta start them reading young). But she loves going through all the pictures and we can spend a whole night going through this one with her telling me what’s going on in her book. There is a ton of dialogue which is okay for now because when she learns to read bigger books this will work well for her lol. But it’s also fun because when she wants I can read to her too. Fun for the whole family!
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth It
Great illustrations, awesome story, it's the Hobbit! Not much more to say, if you are on the fence, get it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful!

That was a fun read! I've read the book a couple of times but the graphic version was a first for me. The illustrations were very well done. They had really beautiful, vibrant coloring.
5.0 out of 5 stars Has most of Tolien's text
Owned the original edition for years and bought two copies of this for my school library. The best part? Unlike most graphic novels this has MOST OF TOLKIEN'S TEXT. Yes, if one reads this and all the text therein was can safely and truly say they have read The Hobbit.
5.0 out of 5 stars Super Cool
Dedicated art, real passages, cool and comes alive - for teens and adult fans as well.

Beautiful
A beautiful book for all fans. If I had this version when I was young, I would have been à Tolkien fan sooner. It enhance the story of the hobbit. The book is way more accurate and respectful of Tolkien writings than the movies. You want this book in your collection.
Amazing but small text
So fun!! Our family is obsessed with the Hobbit and this has been a treasure to add to our library. One warning though- some of the text is SUPER small so have your glasses ready :)
Beautiful and engaging for kids.
I read the lldef version of this book as a kid before i read the real book. This is beautifully drawn on every page. A magnificent tribute to Tolkien's world and great for kids to get into.
Perfect as a gift
Had this book as a kid and loved it. Now have it as a gift to a child and he also loved it! Absolutely recommend.
