Summary
Inspired by The Hobbit, and begun in 1937, The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy that Tolkien created to provide “the necessary background of history for Elvish tongues.” From these academic aspirations was born one of the most popular and imaginative works in English literature.

The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between powers of good and evil.

In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien’s great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe—hobbits, elves, and wizards—step colorfully forth from the pages. Rob Inglis’ narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.

Narrator does an amazing job!! (Though I could do without the singing) This series, is the series I listen to most often while falling asleep... he has a calming voice until he sings lol!! But all in all very well done! One of my fave series’ on movie form and audiobook form! (Could never get into the books myself but having them read to me is PERFECT)

Keeps well woth the tonal shifts of Tolkein, providing whimsy and dread where appropriate.

An excellent rendition of the first LotR book. I was particularly interested in comparing the book, which I had read some time ago, to its counterpart movie. It did not disappoint and I look forward to reading the next two books.

I’ve read it before, but enjoyed listening. It took me a moment to get used to the narrator, but once I did I very much enjoyed him.

I love this book and have read it many times. I really enjoyed the reading of this version... but have to say that I prefer the versions read by Andy Serkin. He was the voice of Gollum in the movies and he is a great storyteller. Overall, there is no way to go wrong with Tolkien!

My first journey into fantasy novels as a kid, and still one of the best. Tolkien has that rare gift of immersing his readers into his world and leaving them wanting more. I never tire of this series and listen to it once or twice a year.

Tolkien’s world is incredibly imaginative. He can skimp on some details, particularly in battles but for those who are drawn to linguistics this is sure to please. The creation of a foreign language is quite a feat. I wish they had done a little more with the songs. They become a bit monotonous as the story progresses, often melding into the same melodic drone. I’ve read the trilogy several times and the fellowship is by far my favorite of the three. Always a good choice when I can’t decide what to listen to next or I’m waiting for my next credit to use!

Captivating story that will be relevant for generations to come. It never gets old no matter how many time it is read. The narrator is a perfect fit for this series. His voice is soothing and he reads very smoothly. A pleasant experience.

Always a fascinating read, the narrator has a great talking and singing voice! Truly a prominent tale in the history of fantasy.

This was pretty awful. I realize it is a classic piece of literature. However, after seeing the movie, this is written in a way that's more like Wizard of Oz. All of the characters are watered down and childlike. It's more like a complicated children's book then than epic sweeping fantasy. The narrator singing was probably the worst part.

I have to agree with the other posters. There are too many songs and they're too long. Happily, they can be skipped. Also, it feels as if the author is reading to his kid.

over hyped too many songs. I'm not impressed by the story structure or premise.

So amazing for driving or working out, the narrator does a fantastic job and who doesn't love Tolkien!

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it's overly descriptive and the chapters are too long. Other than that it's a good story.

Rob Inglis is extremely talented. He has a voice for every character and even sings the songs in each person's voice! His rendition is imaginative and has a wonderful felicity of expression. i listened intently and with delight. Listening to this beloved series, which I have read many times, becomes fresh and new with voice of Rob Inglis.

The book is a classic. I won't go over that here. It is a very good quality audiobook and the narrator is excellent. The only real problem I have is that there are many "songs" in the book and the narrator sings them and it is just a little annoying. I guess that's not really a problem with the narrator since he's just reading the book.
