5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful quality hardback edition
Reviewed in Australia on 12 July 2021
Beautifully printed and bound. Dark red cloth hardback cover with illustrated sleeve. In my opinion, the printing and typesetting are very attractive, with the chapter titles in red ink to match the cover. The font is both attractive and optimally legible. The paper feels like it’s good quality; slightly thicker than your standard paperback and very clean and white. It feels lovely on your fingers. The illustrations are beautiful and in full colour. Includes a Bible-style bookmark string (also red). I believe it is worth spending a little bit more for a nice illustrated, hardback book over the paperback - I think it really enhances the experience of reading from a physical book (as many of us who still enjoy physical books do it for a better experience than the cheaper and more convenient ebooks). I definitely recommend this edition if you are going looking to buy the individual volumes one by one (rather than all three in a single book or a box set).

I found the narration to be a dull, lifeless monotone that rendered each character impotent. Very disappointed.

I'm a massive Tolkien fan. I have good eyesight. I cannot read the text size. I assume they tried saving money by printing less pages. Biggest waste of money ever

Love the lord of the rings movies and wanted to read the books. Unfortunately when I brought this item I started to read it instantly and started to realise that some pages were not printed correctly and ran out of ink and are nearly impossible to read 😕

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful print quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 November 2020

The print quality is dreadful. Every second page from p26-71 is printed badly making it virtually unreadable. My son is currently reading this and is having to guess what the text says. Unacceptable. Unable to return as he will have nothing to attempt to read.
