Title: This audio versions (isn't good)!
Review: My husband and I took this audio version (Amazon calls it the Minds Eye, but the publisher is Soundelux) of LOTR with us on a long road trip and had to stop listening to it before long, because it was so annoying. I love the books and the movies, but do yourself a favor and buy a different version. Frodo and Bilbo voices sound reasonable, but most of the other characters have weird voices. For example Sam sounds like a little boy (although, maybe his part is read by a woman?), Strider has the voice of an old time radio hero (you know that "hear I come to to save the day type voice"). Actually, the whole thing sounds like an old radio version, which wouldn't have been bad, if it was done better. Plus the actors aren't really that good, so the mood isn't conveyed properly.
Is the review positive or negative?
