regentrude Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 We love The Mind's Eye dramatized version. http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Minds-Eye-Version/dp/1559351209/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315936777&sr=8-1 We also have the BBC one http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-BBC-Dramatization/dp/0553456539/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315936777&sr=8-1 It is good, but the Mind's Eye is even better.

quark Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 What is the best audio recording for The Lord of the Rings? If you'd like them unabridged, try the audiobooks narrated by Rob Inglis. We found Fellowship very engaging. http://www.amazon.com/Fellowship-Ring-Lord-Rings-Book/dp/0788789813/ http://www.amazon.com/Two-Towers-Lord-Rings-Book/dp/078878983X/ http://www.amazon.com/Return-King-Lord-Rings-Book/dp/0788789848/ http://www.amazon.com/Hobbit-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0788789821/ Not cheap though.

I prefer these to the Rob Inglis unabridged versions. IMO, the BBC is head and shoulders better than Mind's Eye, but either is better than the needs-to-go-blow-his-nose Mr. Inglis. :tongue_smilie: I know I am in the small minority in this view here on the boards, but I just.cannot.listen to Inglis read anything, especially my beloved LOTR.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We own this cd set. Love it for plane rides and long drives.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollyOR Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks everyone. :) I'll have my children listen to some samples and see what they think. Polly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
