Title: New Meaning for Halfling
Review: I bought the audio trilogy, which Amazon decribes as the complete work. Unfortunately, it is in fact an abridged dramatization about half the length of the original. As a dramatization, this American version is fair -- it uses actors to read the actual but abridged text. Even so, as far as dramatizations go, I much preferred the BBC dramatization, which does not follow the text as well but has more the feel of the later film. Moreover, you can probably find the BBC verion for free or at lower cost than this version.
