The Hobbit

The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien

The Hobbit has characters such as Bilbo, Gandalf, Gollum and many more. Bilbo is a Hobbit who goes with Gandalf the wizard and 12 dwarfs to the lonely mountains to reclaim the dwarf’s kingdom and their treasure. Smaug is a dragon who is fierce and violent and is guarding all the treasure. On the journey Bilbo found a ring when he got captured by the goblins. The ring was the ring that ruled all the rings. The ring of power allowed the person who wears it be invisible. Bilbo used the ring to escape the goblins. Bilbo reminds me of myself because I always wanted to not be able to be seen.

My favorite part of the story was when they had the war called the battle of the five kingdoms. It was Dale, Elves, and Lakemen against the wargs and goblins. I liked it because it was a long chapter (about 80 pages) and it was where the kingdom was reclaimed.

I liked Gandalf best. He was a wizard, he was smart, wise helpful and friendly.

This book makes me want to go on an amazing adventure. When I read this book I felt a bit preoccupied with the great book.

InkHeart Review

InkHeart.   By Cornelia Funke

   InkHeart is about this man called Capricorn who came out of a book and these other people who are named Mo, Dustfinger, Meggie, Farid and Elinor. They are trying to stop him taking over their world. The villans are Capricorn, Basta, Cockerell and lot’s more! Capricorn comes out of the same book as Meggies mum was read into nine years ago. Everytime something or someone comes out of a book something or someone has to go in. Who is to blame for all this? My favourite part of the story is the end.... That is all I can say because I don't want to give it away.  It is a cool book because it has some really good characters, my favorite is Farid. I like him because he is Dustfinger’s sort-of apprentice and Dustfinger teaches him to do something that helps out in the end (again, I don't want to give it away). It also has a ok movie. The characters did not come out how I thought they would look. I thought  Dustfinger had dark brown hair but in the movie he dirty dark blond hair. This book continues to two other books called InkSpell and InkDeath.  Meggie as the main character reads the villans back into the book!
