I'm a fan of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and decided to re-read the book. It was as exciting as I remembered and even better the second time around.

This is a great book but the trend in this type of cover illustration is pretty bad. Do covers cost so much that this is the quality customers receive?

This set of CD's is of the "no frills" variety, but that does not detract from it being a great story, compellingly told by Rob Inglis.My copy had a defect on disc #7, but Amazon exchanged it promptly and without fuss.

After reading Lord of the Rings and watching the movies, I was drawn to read this book. It's a much simpler read that LOTR books. Very good read for children. Much can be taken from this adventure.

Wow.... there are more words but it would take to long in words to say. Its just.....wow.....Highly recremed this to anyone who can read at a 5th grade level, so most kids from 1-22 shouldn't read it. Unless the are acctuly know how to read.

Nice version for your Kindle. Possibly the best , easiest read of the Tolkien series. There is more story-telling here than in some of his books that get a bit bogged down with tongue-twisting lineages.
