& 8220;It doesn't get much better than this. In 13 hours the entire story is told in rich and vivid detail that captures the essence of the books more completely than any other version - and I've heard a few... The all-star cast give mesmerising performances with Ian Holm in particularly fine form. If you never read the books, never hear anything else by Tolkien - hear this.

& 8220;I was lent this recording by a friend at the age of 11 and I knew I had to get my own copy as soon as possible. What can I say - the atmosphere of Middle-Earth is conjured up brilliantly with help from a superb soundtrack, and despite others' gripes about the omission of certain chapters, I really do believe that this cannot be bettered. The stunning performances from a cast of Britain's finest actors really make Tolkien's epic tale come alive - the only problem now is that nothing will measure up to it! Much as I am looking forward to the film version, it's just a shame this cast can't be used - each of the actors IS their character as far as I'm concerned, and anyone else just wouldn't seem left... 13 hours of high-class, gripping drama - what more can I say? Tolkien would be proud.

This 13-part version was recorded from BBC radio (rerun on Radio 4 in 2002) and issued as a torrent from http://radioarchive.cc.
