What isn't to like about The Lord Of The Rings? The story is excellent, with wonderful characters and settings, and plenty of increasing drama as you proceed through the story. Having it on audiobook makes it even better for me, as I can listen to it at work or while traveling. This set is well recorded and narrated, with numerous poems related, songs sung, fantasy languages translated, and characters brought to life purely by the power of a human voice. Even with one narrator on the job, you can hear the differences between characters of different origins and backgrounds with a single sentence. If you haven't read the books, or if you have, but need to again, I recommend this audio book to carry you away to Middle Earth.

Rob Ingles brings great life to Tolkien's masterpiece. His character voices are compelling, and make a story that can be hard to trudge through for some readers very easy to listen to in the car or doing chores at home. I recommend The Hobbit, also read by Rob Ingles, and The Silmarillion if you like The Lord of the Rings.

Anyone who loves The Lord of the Rings books would love listening to these unabridged audio versions. Rob Inglis' voice fits the story perfectly (he does different character voices without being annoying or obnoxious). If you haven't had a chance to read the books before, these would also be a great way to start as well. Being able to listen to these well-read stories makes them easy to follow. These CDs are great for anyone interested in Tolkien's timeless tale, either for the first time, or for revisiting them.
Like radio shows or listening to a good storyteller, this audiobook lets you use your imagination. Rob Inglis reads the story more like he is telling it than reading it. He uses voice characterizations for different characters in the story maling it more interesting, but not hokey or childish. It reminds me of listening to readings done in libraries, schools or at pow wows. Just great tales which keep your interest. There are several reasons to listen to this trilogy: Tolkien's education in medieval and Old English tales wgich are the basis of all great stories. SOmething brought out in these tales. The battle of good and evil and the arreibytes we gold dear as udeals for humankind. The Christian symbology. As is found in other great works vt gis contemoparies like C.S. Lewis and his Narnia. The movies were great, but the books are better. The mind's eye sees more than the body's eye.Read full review
