The best story ever told.
There are many stories I love but the Lord of The Rings always stands high above.
So much details put into the history and reason for the story makes the story so strong in my mind. The friendship of all the characters can be heart warming.
No matter how many times I read it I always hear new parts and details which make me love it more.
Read it, love it, and forever remember it.

Great as usual, however needs an update
This needs an update, much like the star wars books, with sound effects and the like... Still excellent though...

Wonderful telling of this classic.
This was throughly enjoyable, the rich timber of Rob Inglis' voice was enough to rival Sarumans. As I traveled about the country I could imagine I was in Middle Earth.

Taken on an adventure
Read the books numerous times over the decades but to listen to it allowed me to close my eyes and drift off to middle earth and be part of this great adventure.

Movies are better
Just drawn out and boring. No build up for important moments.
Literally blinked and old mate defeated.
Too much attention out on unimportant things, and not enough attention put on the important plot points.
Glad I read, but only to say I did.
Was hoping for more.

lotr
Would you listen to The Return of the King again? Why?
yes
Who was your favorite character and why?
sam, the most down to earth and realistic character
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Rob Inglis?
dont know but someone who can deliver the important speeches and moments (eg when in mordor and sam says 'i cant carry the ring but i can carry you' - rob inglis made this scene very weak, as well as the whole chapter at mount doom) with the conviction they deserve and need unlike rob inglis
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
sam saving frodo in mordor

The Lord of the Rings - The return of the King
Absolutely stunning reading by Rob Inglis.
I first read LotR over 50 years ago and my personal internal characterisations were entirely matched by Rob's interpretations of each of the characters so excellently drawn by Prof Tolkien.
Only regret is not buying this amazing rendition years ago

Master story teller
The narrator is a master of voices. Almost makes you think you're there. The story is long, but well worth the time.
