THANK YOU for not only using a high-quality microphone, but for pronouncing each word in a way that's intelligible! Some narrators mumble their words, and you only catch 75% of what they say. This is so much better!

Am I the only one here who is just a fan of Tolkien and doesn’t need it for school?

The comments here make me feel old, but I'm happy to see that today's youth is still discovering Tolkien and the timeless world he created~

[jacksontown]

very proud of myself of being non-native speaker that once he decided to learn English, and it ended up of him being one of your listeners. Cheers.

As someone who has an attention span of a hyper child, and mostly grew up with audio books/read alongs during my time in school, this works perfectly for me. Thank you so much!

[rogierdeboer]

Please continue to make more audiobooks. I can never find any good ones here on YouTube, and you exceed my expectations

[thej.w.jupiterreaderstheat]

Oh, I love the character voices! Well done with the playful tone of lighter-hearted adventure. Looking forward to more!

[WendyMcKinley-be]

Thank you so much. The way you read these books make them seem so much more interesting.

I have been able to refer my students to this audiobook to help them through the book! This is such a valuable resource. Thank you for your hard work.

Oh my goodness. This is my fourth time trying this classic. I finally like this book. I never really got into reading it. This audiobook is perfect for me. Thank you.

[lianavarnava]

I listen to this book all the time, it is beautiful and it brings me comfort. Thank you for your excellent reading.

Tysm, normally free audiobooks that i find are ai voices. This is brilliant because specific words are pronounce and emphasised in ways that make it more interestings. The speech was clear and just at the right speed! 10/10 deserves a sub

[end.olives]

Always hits right in my heart to listen to this story again, no matter how many times i read it, instantly feels like home.

Just starting reading The Hobbit and this is helping me get through it! Love the character voices!

[roringusanda]

I've read Tolkien's work many times over, but I don't have the books right now, and I'm sick anyway, so don't feel much up to reading...these audiobooks are a gift! Especially if the narrator has a feel for the lore he's reading, and a pleasant voice. This man is talented. I might wish a slightly more British voice, but really, his accent is not egregiously American, so does not detract from his excellent narration. All the chapters have been thoroughly enjoyable!🥰👍

[shikamarunara]

This is a life saver!! I don’t have the book and the document that our teacher gave us is pretty difficult to read. Thanks a lot!!! 😊

[StrattCaster]

As an ancient man of 47 it's nice to see all these young people taking an interest in this book series. It really is a Timeless classic.

I love listening I have to read this book for school so I use this it is amazing 7th grade

I’ve been so excited to read The Hobbit since I bought it. I tried a few times and I couldn’t seem to get past the first few sentences without forgetting what I just read.
So I tried reading along with you, and it worked! I can’t wait to read more, thank you for this. ❤
