The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
4.0
adventurous dark hopeful tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

very well done BBC dramatization of the book and a nicely abridged version of the story. 
i has planned to reread the series but i think this was actually a nice way to reread the book (and series overall since i will continue with the other two audiobooks in this series as well) when i saw my library recently got them in. 

i so prefer original not abridged books especially in books that i really love to get emerged in the world.

but i do have a bit of a soft spot for dramatizations and i am so thankful that my library finally started to have some. especially for rereads those are wonderful ways to reexperience a book but in a completely new way. 

so if you never tried especially BBC dramatizations? highly recommend them. they have full casts and sound effects and are very well and thought out productions!
