5.0 out of 5 stars The movies are good - but your imagination is better!, 31 Jul 2006
By Paul R. Norton "cutsey-cuddly" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Hobbit: AND The Lord of the Rings (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio CD)
This is a pretty amazing collection. I've had them for years on cassette and they bear repeated listening and are a constant joy. The 13-part dramatization of 'The Lord of the Rings' is spectacular and features some great acting from the likes of Ian Holm, Peter Woodthorpe, Bill Nighey, and Michael Hordern as a splendid Gandalf. Unlike the movies you can let your own imagination soar with the help of fantastic music and special effects. The companion piece - 'The Hobbit' is more quirky, more fun and just as much a pleasure. Give your eyes a rest from all that CGA. You don't really need it, you know: Your mind can create these wonders with little or no effort.

Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for everyone!, 10 Jun 2001
By A Customer
A story so engrossing that you won't be able to leave the books until you're axhausted and many 'one last chapter...'.

I read the complete set about 10 times and I'll sure read it again with the movies coming out soon.

Buy this, you won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars do not do this book justice., 5 Dec 2001
This review is from: Lord of the Rings (Boxed Set) (Paperback)
Ever fancied escaping from this dreary world without risk to yourself or anyone else? Then this is the book to do just that.
Whether you're a 10year old or 100 plus this book must rank as a must read. The sheer scope of the content from individual characterisation through rolling landscapes seen through the eyes and perceptions of their various occupants to excellently written battle scenes which fit into the story like an elegant jigsaw piece is a joy to experience. Of course you know that good will prevail in the end but to live the struggle of the characters through all their individual trials to achieve that end is compelling to the point of being late for all your social engagements trapped between the start and finish.
