    "Excellent!"

    This book brings back so many memories, having Rob Inglis narrate it just made it even better. It was hard to press the pause button and it was saddening when it ended but it was excellent and highly recommended.

    "Very Nice story telling, but some audio issues."
    If you could sum up The Fellowship of the Ring in three words, what would they be?

    Light, Dark, Friendship


    Any additional comments?

    When the hobbits enter the town of Bree (the Prancing Pony) the audio track is HORRIBLE. It sounds like a woman is carrying on a conversation in the next room while the the story is being read. It's faint, but can be heard with headphones and is quite distracting. This background conversation ends when the hobbits leave Bree.The rest of the reading does not have any background noise problems.

    "Still a fanatastic story!"
    Would you listen to The Fellowship of the Ring again? Why?

    Yes, I will listen again. I have read the book numerous times, but listening to it was a new experience. I will listen again and again.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I listened as I excercised, worked around the house, etc. It made the jobs at hand so much more pleasant.

    "A Classic!"

    I have read this book several times - listened to full cast reading of the book and of course loved the film - Thought I might be overdoing it ordering yet another telling of this classic but absolutely enchanted by this audible book. I highly recommend it whether you've never read the book or have read it 100 time.

    "Classic Fantasy"
    What did you love best about The Fellowship of the Ring?

    I read these books in high school and thought I would give them all another listen. I thought the narrator did a great job with (what I now remember is) a somewhat boring book. I very much like the Lord of the Rings trilogy. However, the author can be somewhat boring and long winded. It is a classic though and has some great parts if you can stay awake long enough to hear them.

    Story
    "The many voices of Rob Inglis do justice."
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Fellowship of the Ring to be better than the print version?

    Rob Inglis brings the story to life. As a person who's read Tolkein multiple times since 1975, I found this listen an engaging way to re-approach my favorite books. I have now listened to all of them multiple times and continue to enjoy.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Gandalf, Tolkein's angel wizard has always been a favorite and Inglis' voice handled him excellently. But they were all excellent- Sam, Gimli, Aragorn...the whole cast.


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

    I listened to Inglis doing all of the Tolkein books- very consistent and wonderful job across the board.


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

    I always have enjoyed the MInes of Moria, The Great Council, and the Lothlorien Chapters- these were among my favorites also as handled adeptly by Inglis.


    Any additional comments?

    There are so many and such various characters in Tolkein's work. Inglis' ability to bring them all to life was truly amazing- he even handles the elvin languages in a way that brings out their beauty and form.

    "Absolutely Wonderful!"

    A timeless classic brought to life. The narration of Rob Inglis brings unexpected warmth and depth to the tale of the battle for Middle Earth. Each character is brought to life through a unique voice. Highly recommended!

    "I love the narration but the singing...."

    Rob Inglis' speaking/narration voice is fantastic! I do, however, have to say that I could have done without the singing! All and all, it's a classic.

    "Finally Audible got it. What a great story!"
    If you could sum up The Fellowship of the Ring in three words, what would they be?

    It is a timeless classic. So much more here than the movies (still great) can get into. You get such deeper insight into the characters. It can be a bit more whimsical than the movies, if that is your only exposure to this story. Great narrator.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Sam is still the unsung hero.


    What does Rob Inglis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    There are a lot of different characters in this book, and Inglis does a great job at keeping them separate.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    There were times that it drug a little long, but over all it was great.


    Any additional comments?

    Worth the credit.

    This is the first time I feel a movie is better than it's book. I just had to stop after a few hours.
