" There's only one flaw in this entire audio book. Somewhere early in the book, there is a music instrumental transition that would be an amazing addition if found throughout the book(s), but also found nowhere else in the trilogy in this series. I didn't dock anything based on it, but it's a very minor distraction that looms in the back of my head as to the "why" of it all, almost obsessive-like. "

" Listening to Rob Inglis narrate this book is such an enjoyable experience. He really brings the characters to life. As someone who had only seen the movies, and never had the chance to read the books, I wasn't sure what to expect. It was amazing! Now more than ever I want to read them myself! "

" This is the adult introduction for to Tolkien's magical universe. The book is wonderfully narrated. The audio book format is the only way that I could enjoy the book. Way too much detail for my taste for action and intrigue packed reads. "

" I think this book did get boring during the first part, other than that it was stunning. I have just finished the Return of the King and the whole series is great. A must read. "

" A very good read but it takes a long time to pick up. This book is half setup for the trilogy. It's mostly exposition so I had to bare through it to get to what I deem the good stuff but it is by no stretch of the imagination a badly written book. Tolkien is just a stickler for details. "

" Just as brilliant as i remembered, actually better. Gandalf, Galadriel and Boromir are may favourite characters... by the way i have seen the movies and read these before so I am fully aware of all heartaches that occur even if i refuse to accept them... :) I love this story! "

" I read for first time in 1971, have re-read trilogy probably 25-30 times. Still makes me cry when Frodo leaves for the Undying Lands from the Grey Havens. "

" The writing was gorgeous, perhaps I just don't take to fantasy stories but I found this really hard to follow and quite dry in bits. Of course it was much better than the movie with the walking ;) "

" Loved it. The book was far better than the movie but it was great that another author was chosen to be recognized. It was a book that I had to read twice in my life to get all the way through it. But with age comes wisdom. "

" This a re-reading. After reading modern fantasy stories (actually, I'm looking at Name of the Wind), this is obsolete. Yes, a mark in worldbuildng, and the father of all fantasy stories but, despite that, a regular book. Boring beginning, poor plot... Read it for historical purposes. "
