After The Hobbit, the next step was to have Bowen listen to
the Fellowship of the Ring. If The Hobbit was too intimidating to read, the
Fellowship is even more so, with poems, song, and multiple characters. But Rob
Inglis’s narration is awesome, his song performance more than passable, and his
ability to capture Bowen’s attention proven,. I really enjoyed listening to the
poems especailly, which were clearly
meant to be read aloud, not read silently, and too often skipped over by
readers who are impatient to get on with the story, which I’m afraid is a
category I fall into, so this is the first time I’ve actually gotten around to
reading them.
By the end of the book, Bowen demanded the next book in the
series, and if that’s not a recommendation, I don’t know what it is.
