The Hobbit

A classic story with great thoughts about life and the challenges of life. Add to that a top notch narrator and you get a winning combination.

I did have some struggles. There is so much detail in the journey and long songs. There are parts that feel like reading parts of the Bible. Inglis did a fantastic job of reading the characters with voices in a way that I could keep them straight—a heroic feat in itself. Still, some of those passages caught my mind wandering and, at times, I found myself drifting off.

So, I rated the audiobook as a 4 star overall because of my challenges in holding my attention. That being said, this has a permanent spot in my library and I plan to listen again in the future.
