LORD OF RINGS AUDIOBOOK SKIN
Rob Inglis does so much more than just narrate, he sings the songs, recites the poetry, races along with the action and does a Gollum voice that makes your skin crawl (as it should). He has a wonderful way of letting you know how much he embraced this story as his own and wanted to share it with everyone. When not in character, his narrative voice is strangely similar to Mr. Even a lowly guard or hobbit in the shire is given enough of a different accent or inflection in the voice to make it unique from all the others. But, they are not acted up so much that one would find it “corny”, but only just enough to keep your interest.
LORD OF RINGS AUDIOBOOK MOVIE
The most interesting thing I found was that when listening to Rob Inglis, it is surprising to find how many different “voices” he can come up with to distinguish all the characters and how eerily similar they are to the characters in the movie version. And I will make a feeble attempt to describe it.

In a word, Rob Inglis’s narration of LOTR is amazing. The overall deciding factor was the fact that this a completely unabridged version. These reviews were instrumental in my decision to spend my hard earned money on what some would assume is a frivolous gift to myself. To be honest, I found many more articulate and profound “customer” reviews at the Amazon.ca site where I purchased my audio book. I presume my overall enthusiasm for the audio book kind of came oozing out. As they had no review on file, they asked me to put one together. Tolkien’s books and, if so, what were their thoughts of it. I had originally asked the folks at TORN if they could let me know if they had reviewed any audio book versions of the Mr. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings (FOTR, TTT and ROTK) Audiobook on CDĬomplete Unabridged Trilogy of LOTR, total hours 52, 46 CDs The experience isn’t enthralling enough to make you enjoy someone reading to you if you don’t already.Review of J. If you’re a Tolkien fan with a long commute or a road trip ahead, go for it! If you aren’t a fan of audioboooks, then I wouldn’t bother. If you’re an member and a Tolkien fan, definitely get this. I’m not sure how enjoyable it would be for a first experience of the books, but it’s excellent for those who have read them many times. It’s wonderful to listen to in the car, whether during your daily commute (as I did) or a long road trip. Of course, there aren’t any Bakshi-level mispronunciations ( Seleborn, indeed!), so unless you’re a real stickler you probably won’t notice. I’m far from an expert in pronunciation, but I’m not sure that everything is correct. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m practically tone deaf or not, but I’m pretty sure he has 2-3 tunes that he uses for all of the songs in the book–so you can imagine how repetitive is it by the end. It’s nice at first, but then it all of the songs start to sound the same. If you pay close attention, you’ll know which one is speaking before he says which one is speaking.Īs I mentioned, Inglis actually sings the songs.

With certain characters, he does an excellent job of giving them distinct voices–particularly for the four hobbits. Inglis certainly has a pleasing voice (with obligatory British accent, of course). It’s The Lord of the Rings unabridged, so you can’t really go too far wrong. Being unabridged, of course it’s quite long–nearly 55 hours on 46 CDs (if you have anything as archaic as CDs still in your life).

The songs are actually sung, which is a nice touch. The audiobook includes all of the poems and songs–even those in Quenya or Sindarin. The Lord of the Rings audiobook, unabridged, is read by Rob Inglis. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings Narrator: Rob Inglis Year Published: 1990 Summary
