I'm not sure how to rate this. It's undeniably epic, but large portions of it are not engrossing for me, and I was easily distracted from the audiobook. My favorite part is the tale of Beren and Luthien. I also enjoy the beginning, about the creation of Eā and Arda, and the ending, which is an overview of Sauron making the rings and eventually being destroyed.
