A review by emshawkes
The Hobbit (Dramatised) by the BBC by J.R.R. Tolkien, Anthony Jackson, Andy Weir
3.0
I am specifically reviewing the BBC dramatisation/radio play.
I've tried, unsuccessfully, to read [b:The Hobbit|5907|The Hobbit (The Lord of the Rings, #0)|J.R.R. Tolkien|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546071216l/5907._SY75_.jpg|1540236] several times. This time I thought I would try an audiobook and this version was available through the library.
Like other reviewers have said, the unfamiliar pronounciations are somewhat distracting. And you need to know the book (or films) to follow along; so much of it is spoken you need to know who is speaking which isn't always clear. It was well paced (though I think I might've listened to it on 1.25 speed by accident), and while it took me about a month to complete, I did listen to it in approx. 3 sessions.
