A review by wintersavenger
The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
5.0
I remember trying to get through The Fellowship of the Ring as a wee ten year old when the movie came out. I did not succeed. This was perhaps the only book I've ever started and didn't finish - and I've made my way through some straight up torturous books in my time.
My god am I happy I returned to it.
This time, I went for the audiobook format which lends well to the many outbursts of song that are peppered throughout the book. Hearing the characters in their moments of light and darkness brings another level to the experience that reading alone could not always convey. Listening along to the adventures of four little hobbits, I was glad to find some new material that the film of course had to leave out. A big fantasy fan, I'm glad I finally undertook this novel and plan on immediately starting the next in the series.
