Resumen del Editor

The complete, unabridged audiobook of The Fellowship of the Ring.

Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the first part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, available as a complete and unabridged audiobook.

Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.

In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An extraordinary book. It deals with a stupendous theme. It leads us through a succession of strange and astonishing episodes, some of them magnificent." ( The Observer)
"Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century." ( Sunday Telegraph)

If you struggled with the book, try this!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Lord of the Rings to be better than the print version?

The audio book is not better, it is different. The narrator has the skill to bring a book I struggled to read in print into vivid and exciting life. He does not act the books, he 'narrates' them extremely well, telling the story with rhythm and pace, while giving each character in the book an individual voice.

Any additional comments?

If, like me, you really struggled with the Lord of the Rings in print, then try a volume of this read by Rob Inglis, this may be the avenue into the Tolkien world you are looking for.

Nice

Finally, I completed the story. I really like it. I read the chinese translation version of the book in advance, and that really help me to involve into this audio version. the narrator is talented at storytelling, which gives me an wonderful hearing experience.

Simply Delightful

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend this audiobook to a friend. The Lord of the Rings books are a 'must read' for everyone. They give a brilliant example of how fiction books should be written, with a solid and vastly explorable background and history.

What does Rob Inglis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Although I found it strange at first that a random person I had never heard of in my life would be reading a book to me, there is no other person I would rather read me The Fellowship of the Ring than Rob Inglis. The songs were by far the best experience for me. If I were reading the book myself I would not have even known where to begin when it came to the songs. Rob singing them for me was a delight.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, it was not. To my liking the book is a long book. If i was bored or wanted to listen while doing something else I would slip on my headphones and pick straight up from where I last left off.

Any additional comments?

The Lord of the Rings trilogy are books I've been wanting to read for a long time. Unfortunately I find it incredibly hard to pick up a book and read it. I have never been an avid reader despite the fact that I love stories. As a child I loved having books read to me. When I found Audible I straight away loved it. Having a book read to me is amazing. All I have to do is listen.

loved it

memorable experience
loved Rob Inglis' naeorating
truly great loved it and would recomend for annyone i looooovvvedddd it will read to myself agai

So many songs

Excellent book but I forgot how many songs were in it. It seems the JRR was attempting an art within an art.

Classic.

What a good listen. pure and simple. JRRT is a story teller for all time.

Read in when i was age 17-26-36-45-60

I always enjoyed reading lord of the rings it has been there for me when the world seems so disappointing. I need the hope good will triumph over evil. The smallest of people’s shall win over greediest in power, wish I had this book during Nixon’s years but since the school system was so bad I couldn’t read well enough to comprehend this children’s book. Thank god I kept at it till I taught myself & now I’m extremely well read. It’s a great READ at any age and I recommend it to someone who has trouble understanding what they read because you take it slow, read alone at night when it’s quiet. And when your done and I promise towards the third chapter (book) you’ll find it hard to put it down. After these books you’ll be able to read any book you care to read. For me it was the American history. English history, African American, Native American, Mexican American, 1492 before European’s came to the America’s. Hawaiian Histories, and on,an on,an on. This book started my reading obsession thank you J. R. R. Tolkien. It’s been quite a ride

Great!!!

So lovely to listen to & so clear & enjoyable.

Just struggling to get part 2. Frustrated

Timeless adventure

Rob Inglis does a marvelous job narrating this classic among classics. His rendition of the various songs may be a point of contention with some, but for the rest of the text his storyteller's voice delivers the riveting fantasy adventure in a most befitting way.

Excellent narration

Would you listen to The Lord of the Rings again? Why?

I have loved The Lord of the Rings since I first read it in the 70s and have read it many times since. This narration by Rob Inglis really brings it to life and I have noticed things in the description of the story that I haven't noticed before in my own readings.
