Post image This one was a snoozer. It got good in the last half hour of the audiobook, but I have a feeling that the next book will be a lot of fun. I don't remember not liking it when I was young, but it's been many years so I probably wouldn't. It's mostly just that "over hill and dale" type writing that was the worst part of Tolkien's writing (IMO). When an author starts talking about a bunch of geography I just kind of tune out if it's more than a sentence, unless there's some cool history attached to it.

Post image I read these books back in the late 80's as a kid and loved them a lot. I didn't care that so much was copied from Lord of the Rings. I read all 5 books (and later Dragondoom) and even wrote a song for my band based on the books. I still have the paperbacks from back then and I've been thinking about giving them a reread (something I don't do often). I've been in the mood for some epic fantasy lately and so when I picked up a copy of "The Eye of the Hunter " AND found out all 3 of the original books were available on Hoopla, I decided to listen to them before reading "The Eye of the Hunter". It was a fun read, the races were the same as LotRs (with some different names), but the warrows (hobbits) were much more badass. There wasn't really a "fellowship" but there was a big bad guy from the past attacking with a horde of evil humanoids and a person he spoke through. Also there was a booming drum like in the Moria scene (Doom! Doom!). There was also a sword that detected bad guys. It really just seemed kind of linear and basic with lots of action. I did really start to like some of the characters though, so looking forward to reading the other books.
