I do consider the Hobbit a stand alone novel since there is not sequel or prequel necessary to get the full story. Just like you don't need to read the Hobbit to understand the story line behind LOTR.
I thought the Hobbit was okay, I've heard many folks say it should not be a Juvenile book, but after reading it I do believe that is the correct classification.

I would agree that it was (initially at least) aimed at a younger audience than the LOTR. I first read it as a child and well, the words "falling in love" don't do it justice. I adored it. That glow comes back every time I re-read it. For me, it was when my love of fantasy and literature in general was born. Best ever? For me, the hands down winner.
