Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: Review for The Hobbit
Summary: 5 Stars
The Hobbit, written by J.R.R. Tolkien is the best book I have ever read. The story of Bilbo's journey is exciting, adventurous, and keeps you wanting to read. The Hobbit has many thrilling stories inside the long tale. This book was just fun to read! It is easy to follow and understand, while it still vastly describes the world of Middle Earth, created by Tolkien. It gives a better understanding of Tolkien's world and is a good intro to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Hobbit can be enjoyed by all ages and should be part of everybody's bookshelves.Book Review: Rob Inglis is unabridged
Summary: 4 Stars
Paul Jones is referring to the BBC version. That one is abridged. The Rob Inglis version is unabridged and is 10 CD's long. If you loved the book, you'll likely love Rob Inglis' reading. If you didn't like the book, you probably won't like this. But what are you going to do while you're driving to work if you don't listen to this ;-)? I give it 4 stars because I don't like opera and Inglis sings the songs from the book. Wonder where he got the music.Book Review: Rob Inglis makes a great book even better!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned the Hobbit for a few years now and have never read it in full, cover to cover. My New Year's resolution was to finally do just that - with the help of Rob Inglis. His unabridged reading of the story on CD engages the reader so much more with the use of inflection, characterization and personality. It was surprising to discover a few of the words being read were different in my book, and in three places whole sentences were missing. Still, I am currently in the middle of the book and can safely say that I will repeat this experience once a year for the rest of my life! I love the story, the narration, and it is time well spent. As logic would dictate I look forward to reading the Lord of the Rings along to Rob Inglis' unabridged narration on CD as well! I highly recommend this audiobook.Book Review: Rob Inglis: Master Narrator of Tolkien's Wonderful Stories
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a mad keen J.R.R. Tolkien fan since first reading The Hobbit at age 13. I have enjoyed re-reading The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings many times over during the past thirty year but many hours of travelling to and from work prompted me to purchase the audio versions of my two favourite books. This rendition of The Hobbit is excellent. The narration of Rob Inglis is perfectly suited to this genre.Book Review: Superb Audio Adaptation
Summary: 5 Stars
Completely unabridged, the narrator is the same as for the lord of the rings unabridged audio. Alas, he does not narrate the Silmmarillion, whose narrator leaves a lot to be desired for. Get this adaptation today!
