Book Reviews of The Hobbit
Book Review: Rob Inglis Audioreview - The Hobbit A+
Summary: 4 Stars
I had the pleasure of listening to the Rob Inglis audiobook version of The Hobbit on a recent long car trip. While I was already familiar with the story, I hadn't read it in a long time. Mr. Inglis' reading was very engaging and entertaining. His voices for the characters and singing of the included songs/poems were delightful.
I highly recommend this audiobook version of The Hobbit.
Book Review: Amazing Story!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a Lord of the Rings fan, you will definitely enjoy this story of Bilbo Baggin's adventures and the discovery of the ring. Amazing story for anyone to listen to, and the narrator does an excellent job.Book Review: Hobbit unabridged audio book
Summary: 5 Stars
Our 10 year old and 7 year old sons and their mum are really enjoying this recording every time we get in the car. Mum thinks the reading by Rob Inglis is superb (he uses different voices for the various characters and the narration and also sings). The boys are gripped by the story. This is 10 CDs long so you need stamina. Our four year old son finds it boring because it is so long. Highly reccommended for 7 to 12 year old boys.Book Review: An All-Time Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
Bilbo is hysterical. Gandalf charms. The writing shines. If there were 6 stars I'd give it 7. That said, my 11 year-old daughter couldn't get into it. I'm not so sure the 4-8 year-old crowd (stated as the suggested audience on Amazon) is quite ready for this masterpiece; I'd say 10-14, or 10-110 rather. I loved the narrator and Tolkiens's vivid imagination. Things like Bilbo saying, "...and I missed second breakfast." Oh that delicious world of hobbits! Incredible. I adored every page. Book Review: Lord of the Rings (Before it happens)
Summary: 5 Stars
I have found the Lord of the Ring trilogy (books and films) fantastic. However for those that have not read the Hobbit, it is a must. It sets the history and background for many of the critical elements of the trilogy. For those who have only seen the films, reading the book(s) will reveal soo much more that did not make the films. This is something you will enjoy now and reread for years ahead.
