Product review: JRR Tolkien audio collection



4 discs, 4.5 hours of length.
Tolkien reads Disc 1 and 2; Christopher Tolkien reads 3 and 4.


Content:
(Tolkien)
Disc 1: The Hobbit: Riddles in the Dark (29:49); The Fellowship of the Ring
Disc 2: The Two Towers; The Return of the King; Adventure of Tom Bombadil
(mostly are poems)

(Christopher Tolkien)
Disc 3: The Silmarillion -- Of Beren and Luthien
Disc 4: The Silmarillion -- Of the Darkening of Valinor; Of the Flight of the Noldor



But there's a little drawback: the way the discs are inserted into the papercase can easily scratch the data surface.
