About this listen
With its first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on March 8, 1981, this dramatised tale of Middle Earth became an instant global classic. It boasts a truly outstanding cast including Ian Holm (as Frodo), Michael Hordern (as Gandalf), Robert Stephens (as Aragorn), Bill Nighy (as Sam Gamgee) and John Le Mesurier (as Bilbo).
Brian Sibley's famous adaptation has been divided into three corresponding parts, with newly-recorded beginning and end narration by Ian Holm, who now stars as Bilbo in the feature films based on The Lord of the Rings.
Part One, The Fellowship of the Ring, introduces us to Frodo Baggins. With his uncle Bilbo having mysteriously disappeared, Frodo finds himself in possession of a simple gold ring that has great and evil power. It is the Ruling Ring, taken long ago from the Dark Lord, Sauron, who now seeks to possess it again. Frodo must do everything he can to prevent this, and with the help of Gandalf the wizard and a band of loyal companions he begins a perilous journey across Middle-earth. Sauron's Black Riders are on their trail as they travel to Rivendell, attempt to cross the snow-swept Misty Mountains and, in desperation, enter the terrifying Mines of Moria.

Timeless Classic
A delightful dramatization of the Lord of the Ring series broken down into 4 one hour or so ish chapters. Each voice is easily distinguishable and clear with proper pronunciations. My only complaint is that during certain action scenes the cries and screams can be quiet eargrating.

well read and dramatized
excellent voice actors. the sounds and dramatization bring you into their story. occasionally the full sounds make the voices a little difficult to hear.

excellent dramatization
At first I expected a reading of the book, and so was annoyed, but the whole thing grew on me as a very enjoyable experience overall.

It's a Dramatization
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook, but with the lack of scene and character descriptions it became hard to follow at some points. The voice acting was great but I kept getting confused with each character.

Very good, but...
Well, it is a short form of the book.
Many small parts not included.
However, it's good!

Not a direct reading
Although this is not a direct reading, it is still enjoyable to listen to. I liken it to listening to a radio broadcast from the 40's and 50's. This is really good, especially if listening g to it while driving as it helps pass the time.
