    "One of the best. "

    As far as audio books go this is one of the best I’ve listened too. The narrator does a great job with pacing and voices. By the end you know which character he is speaking as with no problems. If you’ve never read or listened to the fellowship of the ring this is as good of a pace to start as any. If you know the story it’s worth another go.

    "Sooooo Word-Heavy"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    If I was going to recommend lord of the rings to someone, I think I'd be more likely to recommend the movies than the books just because they're so long and tedious. However, if you're a diehard fan, the audiobook would be a great way to get you through the dense prose, and you'll be able to actually hear melody put to the numerous songs throughout.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I love the sense of adventure as Frodo sets out from the Shire, and watching him rise to the challenge of being a hero despite humble beginnings.


    What about Rob Inglis’s performance did you like?

    It made me smile that every "r" was a hard "r" - and I loved that he actually sang the songs.


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

    Nooooo lol. It's very tedious and very long.


    Any additional comments?

    I do have a problem with the lack of diversity in Tolkein's stories. I think the storytelling and worldbuilding is incredible, especially with all the different species and languages he maintains. However, the skin color and genders of the character are not very diverse, and the whole series sort of reeks of male privilege.

    Extremely well-written, fun, deep and exciting.

    Other books compare to this as Tolkien's classic set the standard for the genre.

    Excellent performance by a skilled narrator who pronounces all the words correctly and has a great range of voices for the characters.

    I've read or listened to the book every year since I first read it. It's a part of my life as I listen to a chapter or two every single week.
