    What about Rob Inglis’s performance did you like?

    He does all the voices, they are all different and they are all AMAZING. He's also a fantastic singer and gives each song a different melody. Rob just completely rocked out and made this a book I would much rather listen to than actually read.

    "Fantastic re-telling of this classic!!!!"
    Would you listen to The Hobbit again? Why?

    I could easily listen to this tale again and again. Masterful reading.


    What did you like best about this story?

    J.R.R. Tolkien is truly the master storyteller. His imagination and depth of vision has made Middle-Earth a foundation for other great stories.

    "Worth a reread."
    Would you listen to The Hobbit again? Why?

    Yes, The Hobbit is a delightful story and each time I hear it I enjoy something new. I haven't read this since high school in the late 70's. I wanted to get it fresh in my mind before the movies come out.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Bilbo is my favorite character because he presses on even thru his fear and overcomes fear to be great.


    Have you listened to any of Rob Inglis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No, but I will look for his work again.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    Yes, I was angered at how ungracious the dwarfs were and how quickly they forgot they owed their lives to Bilbo's quick thinking.

    Story
    "Classic Book"
    Would you try another book from J. R. R. Tolkien and/or Rob Inglis?

    I would certainly try another Tolkien book.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Tolkien is a master of fantasy. He makes the fantasy world seem real. I also love how he puts some humor into his work.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    I just found the accent sounded phoney and it did not sound natural.


    Could you see The Hobbit being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    One of the reasons I listened to this book is the fact that the movie is coming out in December.

    "Loved it"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes. Reading the book the songs have no melody and the story is a little slow at times. In the audio book, the songs are sung and the story seems to move on quickly and is hard to put down. Very enjoyable and a good preparation for the Hobbit movie.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Hobbit?

    The eagles.

    A timeless classic brought to life. The narration of Rob Inglis brings unexpected warmth and depth to the tale of Bilbo Baggins and his life-changing adventure. Each character is brought to life through a unique voice. Highly recommended!

    "Loved it."

    I love this whole series. It was well read, and it was a nice change to hear all of the songs sung instead of just read.

    "A great Read!"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes, the reader did a great job of keeping me interested on my way to work! His voice was great and non-intrusive. I had a few issues understanding what he was saying when he read Gullums part, however I think that will come with anyone reading.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Bilbo of course!


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When it was over, I thought... now there was an incredible journey!

    "The story that started it all!"
    What did you love best about The Hobbit?

    Bilbo just kept winning the day, it's been a long time since I read the book and I had forgotten how many times he saved his companions.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Tolkien definitely started the fantasy world building with this great work.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    When Bilbo was taking on the spiders, it showed off his courage and willingness to fight for his friends.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    There and back again
