I absolutely adore the Hobbit movies, so I wanted to read the book as well. I personally LOVE the narrator for the audio version, I think he does a fabulous part voicing all of the characters. I do, however, skip over the singing--why does it have to be like 4 minutes long?? That's really my only gripe...well, minus the fact I love the movies way more...sure it misses some detail, but that's common with all movies. And changing one book into 3 was very clever. Love me some Bilbo
