The Hobbit

This was given out as a freebie last month by Audible. Coincidently, it was just after I had played through the PS4 Lego Hobbit game. The result as I listened to the story was that all my mental imagery was in Lego characters and Lego landscapes. TT Games really did do a great job in their version. Overall, the story still holds as one of fantasy's defining epic quest adventures and the narration was very well done. My only disappointment (and the reason for only 4 stars) was the complete and utter lack of any female characters. Really, that just sucks and is unfortunately too prevalent in so many of these older speculative classics.
