Editorial Review:
Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizards band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of alla treasure-troving dragon named Smaug. In his fantasy classic, master storyteller J.R.R. Tolkein creates a bewitching world filled with delightful creatures and thrilling dangers. Narrator Rob Inglis will hold listeners of all ages spellbound with his skillful portrayal of hobbits, dwarves, and enchanted beasts.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - The only unabridged audio reading of the Hobbit, and luckily it's a GREAT one
Rob Ingliss does a GREAT job of reading here. I've only heard him on the audio productions of Tolken's 4 books, and wouldn't mind hearing his other stuff.
The Royal Shakespearean actors are well represented by Ingliss. He has a different voice for each character, and the voices aren't too hard to distinguish from each other, which is no mean feat for a single person. (kind of reminds me of Mel Blanc (Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny & gang) in this regard).
