An Unsurpassed Reading September 1, 2010
Julia J. Lafontaine
I too have read The Hobbit/LOTR countless times--at least once a year since first discovering them, in the late 60s; what an awesome feat of creation by Tolkien! In fact, I'd read them so much that by the time the BBC cassette production was released I knew the story so well that, though I appreciated being able to hear rather than read it, I found it disturbing to listen and KNOW when words, sentences, or paragraphs were missing. :)

So I was thrilled when the unabridged recordings were made, and immediately bought all four, first on cassette, then on CD. They have since given me endless hours of pleasure, and I now listen to the books at least once a year as well as still physically read the paper versions (sometimes in conjunction, if it's not possible to either listen or read at a particular time, catching up when I return to the other media).

The recording was very well done and the CDs have held up wonderfully through the years (the cassettes, of course, didn't fare so well, eventually stretching and warping the sound); a terrific way to have such an exceptional story presented.

And what a smart choice, or lucky chance, that resulted in Rob Inglis being the one chosen to read it; every time I listen to other narrators I'm thankful once more that Rob reads my most favorite. His different tones, speed, and styles give the characters life, and I always know who's speaking as he unfolds the tale; and what a voice! What a priceless gift ... to accomplish such a remarkable narration. I believe that Tolkien himself would have picked Rob to tell this tale. And I'm so grateful this marvelous creation of Tolkien's was made available for the ear to hear.

Outstanding reading of a great work September 19, 2009
JDavid (Salinas, CA USA)
I can only echo the strong praise given by other Amazon reviewers who give this audio book edition five stars and their highest accolades.

Rob Inglis does an amazing job portraying all the characters in Tolkien's masterpiece. As others have written, he is not merely reading the book, he is acting out all the parts and bringing them all to life in a vivid and compelling manner.

I have read the LOTR many times like other convinced Tolkien fans. In listening to Mr. Inglis' presentation, I was moved more deeply and profoundly than by my own readings. It goes almost without saying that the pure and unabridged, unchanged Tokien text as read by a great actor is also far superior to any dramatization of Tolkien, audio drama or film. I recommend this audiobook with the strongest endorsement!

The only unabridged version on CD May 7, 2009
V. Kibler (Claremont, California)
This is a wonderful audio version of the complete Lord of the Rings Trilogy. There are no distracting sound effects and there is no music: just a talented actor reading the books! The narrator, Rob Inglis, is superb. I have listened to hundreds of audio books, and the only one better is Jim Dale's performing of the Harry Potter books. I have recommended this collection of CDs to many friends, and I recommend it to you: you will not be disappointed.
