The Return of the King - Listen While You Work Book Review

What I listened to ...

The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien Third book in The Lord of The Rings trilogy Genres: Adventure, Classic,    Fantasy, Young Adult Narrator: Rob Inglis

     Finally! The big epic battle of good vs. evil. Knew it was coming up somewhere in this book. All of the assorted beings we have crossed paths with (elves, dwarves, ents, etc) have put aside their own differences and banded together to defeat the Dark Lord Sauron and his own troop of fantastical creatures. The story is packed full of tension and suspense during this epic battle. Wonderful conclusion to the trilogy but in all honesty, I think this is a series of books that I really need to read on my own before attempting to listen to the audiobook. There is just so much going on that it is really quite easy to get lost.

     The Fellowship has parted. Sam and Frodo have embarked upon their own path. Frodo had opted to travel alone and not endanger the others in his company. Sam would not allow for his master to bear this cross without Sam by his side. Gandolf is ... well as usual, no one is quite sure just where Gandolf is, though many mourn him and believe him to be dead.

     I really should have written these reviews as I finished each book. At this point I have finished the series and must admit that the three books are getting a bit jumbled in my mind as to where one book ended and the next began.

The Hobbit - Listen While You Work Audiobook Review

What I listened to ...

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien Prequel to The Lord of The Rings trilogy Genres: Adventure, Classic,    Fantasy, Young Adult Narrator: Rob Inglis

     I chose this as the first audiobook to listen to because I had hoped that the fact that I had just seen the movie would help me with visualization. This may have been a mistake. I didn't take into account how different movies can be from the books. I was constantly expecting for such and such to happen and was surprised with entirely different scenes.
