Anybody mind summarizing the plot (action) of "the hobbit" for me?

I've read the book, but the book is so boring and confusing. I've summarized it, but my sister says it's horrible, and nobody in my house can help.

All I need is a brief summary of the plot (action) of "the hobbit", so I can get the idea of the book, and finish off my summer work.

I'm not cheating, I promise. Just need something to read to get in my head, so I can start off my work.

Plus, I don't want to re-read 400 pages of the book again....

Though this is not cheating, it's not allowed in the forum rules. We are not good substitutes for you actually reading the text.

Hmm, I'm not going to close this thread though. If someone is nice enough to write the summary for you, he/she may do so, but keep in mind that this isn't what this forum is for...

Why don't you type what you have so far and we'll help you tweek your summary?

I can summarize the beginning for you:

1. A lot of dwarves come to Bilbo's hobbit-hole.
2. They keep coming.
3. They have colorful cloaks.
4. They drink and eat all of Bilbo's food.

okay..fine..maybe I am cheating..

but I'm in real need!! I can't buy the book in any store near me..and the libary is all out considering all the students that need the book.

My teacher only gave us 4 days to do the assignment...and I'm nearly dying here.

So.......somebody...PLEASE help..and i'll find a way to re-pay you!!!

Sorry Fae, I'm going to close this. Besides, 4 days has already passed.
