Unfortunately, the reviews for the narrator that reads LOTR are not good at all. That saddens me big time because I really wanted to DL this and support a site that offers Christian books so cheap. I think I'll pick up the site but not the trilogy.
But seriously, how is it that a book this big in our culture hasn't been read by someone better like Roy Dotrice (God rest him)? So many good narrators out there....

I want good narrators (they are as important as content to my mind) -- would you give me your top 3, besides Roy Dotrice? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHo_BqK

Its hard to say who my absolute favorite is. I will say that, to date, my favorite match of narrator to story is The Shining by Stephen King. Campbell Scott does a Fantastic job with his deadpan, ominous voice giving the right shade to the story.
I've found Frank Mueller to be consistently fantastic (particularly his dynamic abilities as displayed in 'Drawing of the Three', also by King, God rest him also). Frank also read Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and I think only Morgan Freeman could have done it better.
The readers of the Stormlight Archive books, Micheal Kramer and Kate Reading are both very good, Particularly Kramer. The more I listen to the rather sizeable Stormlight books (I'm about halfway through the latest), the more I like him. Its hard to imagine that his Storm Father voice and his Sylphrena come from the same throat. His range is very, very impressive. Something else that's somewhat rare: You can tell his women apart just by the sound. Very immersive experience.
Oh, and George Guidall. I was first introduced to George when he replaced Frank Mueller on the Dark Tower series and was initially let down because I had become so invested in Mueller's extremely vivid characters. However, as the hours rolled on, George really got into it and did a great job. He depicted the God Bombing Preacher better than I think most any other narrator could have. It was perfect. I've since listened to his work on the American Assassin books and have been pleased. He makes Stan Hurley alive and he also gives Mitch that bad boy, bad ass sound. His females are also very passable.
Scott Brick was decent in Jurassic Park and the sequel, mainly because he seemed to get Ian Malcom right, but I was less impressed with some of his other works (Bourne Identity, I think).
All the folks who worked on Ender's Game (Stefan Rudnicki, Harlan Ellison, Gabrielle de Cuir and even Card himself) did a wonderful job and I'd suggest that novel to anyone, even those who really don't care for Sci-fi. Its much more a story about a genius boy than it is about science and aliens and whatnot. The sequels, however, are vey much sci-fi. The prequels are good stories too.
That's all I've got at present. Hopefully that helps you and others.
