I am reading the first book in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring as a free read currently. It is actually a pretty long book. I am listening to this book on Audible (you're gonna find me listening to a lot of the books I read - it's handy because I can do something else, be it chores or crafts, while I listen)
So far, I am enjoying it greatly. I actually know a lot of the stuff that happens in this book already, (1. my sister read it already and told me a lot of spoilers, and 2. we watched the movies for this trilogy.) but that isn't spoiling just how much I'm enjoying it.
I love Tolkien's world of middle earth, with the humans, elves, dwarves, and other interesting things. And my personal favourite, Hobbits.
The narrator that I'm listening to on Audible I personally think is a pretty good narrator; he is pretty good at making each of the characters sound different. There's a character named Tom Bombadil, and he pretty much sings everything; hence the narrator does, too. The only thing that is slightly annoying is the fact that the narrator gives Strider his normal voice, hence sometimes I can't tell if Strider's speaking or if the narrator's narrating.
Anyways, I'm just at the part where (spoiler!!) Frodo gets stabbed with a Morgul-knife. I already know what's going to happen next, but I'm still excited to go on! I'd say it's a 5 star book so far!
Until next time, and happy reading!
