![]() If you’re an member and a Tolkien fan, definitely get this. ![]() I’m not sure how enjoyable it would be for a first experience of the books, but it’s excellent for those who have read them many times. ![]() It’s wonderful to listen to in the car, whether during your daily commute (as I did) or a long road trip. Of course, there aren’t any Bakshi-level mispronunciations ( Seleborn, indeed!), so unless you’re a real stickler you probably won’t notice. I’m far from an expert in pronunciation, but I’m not sure that everything is correct. ![]() I’m not sure if it’s because I’m practically tone deaf or not, but I’m pretty sure he has 2-3 tunes that he uses for all of the songs in the book–so you can imagine how repetitive is it by the end. It’s nice at first, but then it all of the songs start to sound the same. If you pay close attention, you’ll know which one is speaking before he says which one is speaking.Īs I mentioned, Inglis actually sings the songs. With certain characters, he does an excellent job of giving them distinct voices–particularly for the four hobbits. Inglis certainly has a pleasing voice (with obligatory British accent, of course). It’s The Lord of the Rings unabridged, so you can’t really go too far wrong. Being unabridged, of course it’s quite long–nearly 55 hours on 46 CDs (if you have anything as archaic as CDs still in your life). The songs are actually sung, which is a nice touch. The audiobook includes all of the poems and songs–even those in Quenya or Sindarin. The Lord of the Rings audiobook, unabridged, is read by Rob Inglis.
