5.0
Rob Inglis, the narrator, also gets 5/5.
Moderate: War, Death, Injury/Injury detail, Addiction, Violence, and Grief
Minor: Racism, Alcohol, Death of parent, Gaslighting, Medical content, Animal cruelty, Confinement, Torture, Abandonment, Fire/Fire injury, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , and Toxic friendship
As this is fantasy, some of these mild warnings are metaphorical rather than literal. For example, I included "racism" in the mild section because the different races of Middle Earth, particularly elves and dwarves, have preconceived biases toward one another that lead to animosity and contention.puttingwingsonwords's review

In my opinion, this is the way these books were meant to be experienced: read aloud in dramatic fashion, just as Bilbo did at his birthday party in the movie.
