The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings 887 reviews
J.R.R. Tolkien
Mariner Books, 2005
An epic beginning!
+ Fellowship of the Rings-Unabridged
+ Love the Large Print!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)3677 reviews
J.K. Rowling
Scholastic Paperbacks, 2006
Great listen at a great price!
+ Great set-up for the final installment
+ Harry Potter & The Half/Blood Prince
These cds are fabulous for family car trips. The Narrator, Jim Dale, is amazing. He makes Rowling's work an audible masterpiece. Better than a video because the whole car gets to listen in (and watch the scenery as well.) Time goes by so quickly, it eliminates the 'are we there yet' question. ...

finally read this after hearing about for a long time
+ Good read: Kindle edition is rife with typos
+ great book, kindle editon not so good
I decided to finally reading this after hearing about the new show coming out. I have been a fantasy reader since I was in middle school but for some reason I wasn't interested in this series. I think my initial misgivings were due the fact that most reviews seemed to say that there are a lot of ...
