Summary
Inspired by The Hobbit, and begun in 1937, The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy that Tolkien created to provide “the necessary background of history for Elvish tongues.” From these academic aspirations was born one of the most popular and imaginative works in English literature.

The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between powers of good and evil.

In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien’s great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe—hobbits, elves, and wizards—step colorfully forth from the pages. Rob Inglis’ narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.

Loved it all over again

Profile Avatar Emily M. Jun 2018

Narrator does an amazing job!! (Though I could do without the singing) This series, is the series I listen to most often while falling asleep... he has a calming voice until he sings lol!! But all in all very well done! One of my fave series’ on movie form and audiobook form! (Could never get into the books myself but having them read to me is PERFECT)

Awesomeness and awesomeness and even more awesomeness

Profile Avatar Gary Baldwin Nov 2024

Amazing very good book

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2024

Keeps well woth the tonal shifts of Tolkein, providing whimsy and dread where appropriate.

Profile Avatar William E. Feb 2024

An excellent rendition of the first LotR book. I was particularly interested in comparing the book, which I had read some time ago, to its counterpart movie. It did not disappoint and I look forward to reading the next two books.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

Loved the movie so I bought the book. And it really goes into those little things. I likes it…. Will buy the next book to listen to eventually… great collection for any reader.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2023

The book is relaxing and the narrators voice is so peaceful

Profile Avatar Lauren D. May 2023

I’ve read it before, but enjoyed listening. It took me a moment to get used to the narrator, but once I did I very much enjoyed him.

Profile Avatar John May 2023

The book is a lot different from the move, but it a good book.

Excellent story and narration.

Profile Avatar Laura C. Oct 2021

I love this book and have read it many times. I really enjoyed the reading of this version... but have to say that I prefer the versions read by Andy Serkin. He was the voice of Gollum in the movies and he is a great storyteller. Overall, there is no way to go wrong with Tolkien!

Profile Avatar Sathena Jun 2021

Loved it the book just came to life!

Profile Avatar Mary G. Jun 2021

This narrator was able to capture the essence of the story! I loved it!

Profile Avatar Charles S. Apr 2021

My first journey into fantasy novels as a kid, and still one of the best. Tolkien has that rare gift of immersing his readers into his world and leaving them wanting more. I never tire of this series and listen to it once or twice a year.

Profile Avatar Donald S. Apr 2021

First audio book and it was an awesome experience

Profile Avatar Kathleen B. Mar 2021

Narrator makes a classic even classic-er.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2021

The narrator’s not so bad

Profile Avatar Janet R. Jan 2021

The narrator is wonderful

Profile Avatar Jonathan M. Oct 2020

Tolkien’s world is incredibly imaginative. He can skimp on some details, particularly in battles but for those who are drawn to linguistics this is sure to please. The creation of a foreign language is quite a feat. I wish they had done a little more with the songs. They become a bit monotonous as the story progresses, often melding into the same melodic drone. I’ve read the trilogy several times and the fellowship is by far my favorite of the three. Always a good choice when I can’t decide what to listen to next or I’m waiting for my next credit to use!

Fantastic book and narration

my favorite !

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2020

I like the book. Not the narrator.

Profile Avatar Andrea Marello Mar 2020

Love this book! And the narrator does a great job with the character voices. Just as much fun to listen to as it was to read!

Profile Avatar Kiona V. Dec 2019

Captivating story that will be relevant for generations to come. It never gets old no matter how many time it is read. The narrator is a perfect fit for this series. His voice is soothing and he reads very smoothly. A pleasant experience.

Profile Avatar Edward S. Sep 2018

I love this story

Profile Avatar Joshua S. Sep 2018

Always a fascinating read, the narrator has a great talking and singing voice! Truly a prominent tale in the history of fantasy.

Profile Avatar Ben P Mar 2018

This was pretty awful. I realize it is a classic piece of literature. However, after seeing the movie, this is written in a way that's more like Wizard of Oz. All of the characters are watered down and childlike. It's more like a complicated children's book then than epic sweeping fantasy. The narrator singing was probably the worst part.

Profile Avatar Michael B Feb 2018

I have to agree with the other posters. There are too many songs and they're too long. Happily, they can be skipped. Also, it feels as if the author is reading to his kid.

Profile Avatar John R Jun 2017

over hyped too many songs. I'm not impressed by the story structure or premise.

Profile Avatar Theresa Shallenberger Mar 2017

Excellent voice narrative and character representations. Enjoy listening while driving and leisurely time at home.

Profile Avatar auston Ricks Nov 2016

So amazing for driving or working out, the narrator does a fantastic job and who doesn't love Tolkien!

Profile Avatar Delina Porter Oct 2016

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it's overly descriptive and the chapters are too long. Other than that it's a good story.

Profile Avatar Lindsy Dwyer Jul 2016

Wonderful! Great narration! They've done a fantastic job of bringing this classic to a new media platform and it was just as enjoyable as ever!

Profile Avatar phillip thompson Jun 2016

Love the voice. He is exceptional. He made the story come to life.

Profile Avatar Lynne Fort Mar 2016

This is a masterpiece o audio and is also sort of like having your grandfather read you your favorite story while you're wrapped up in a blanket. It's Lord of the Rings beautifully read, what else can I say?

Wonderful narration. I could listen to his voice all day.

Profile Avatar Michael Kulisek Sep 2015

Great read.

Profile Avatar Kathryn Grant Mar 2015

Rob Inglis is extremely talented. He has a voice for every character and even sings the songs in each person's voice! His rendition is imaginative and has a wonderful felicity of expression. i listened intently and with delight. Listening to this beloved series, which I have read many times, becomes fresh and new with voice of Rob Inglis.

Profile Avatar Elizabeth Bosque Jul 2014

LOTR. It's awesome. Just read it. True classic. Absolutely loved the entire series!

Profile Avatar shayla dunnavant Jan 2013

The book is a classic. I won't go over that here. It is a very good quality audiobook and the narrator is excellent. The only real problem I have is that there are many "songs" in the book and the narrator sings them and it is just a little annoying. I guess that's not really a problem with the narrator since he's just reading the book.
