The narrative is enough to let me know that something important is happening, I don't need him raising his voice and acting like a bad rendition of shakespearian play to tell me this. I am sad to see that many of the unabridged versions are read by Brick because I really want to listen to them, but I'm not sure I can stomach any more of his nauseating accents and unnecessary inflections.
The characters change and the narratives evolve and you grow attached to the story line. It is interesting how many parallels there are between the books, but it was meant to be the first of a long series of stories. I also am a major fan of LOTR, and I didn't notice how similar the stories were when I was younger. I loved the series and have been reading the books faithfully starting from when I was a young girl. I can't tell how many times I was forced to rewind and listen again because suddenly something of actual interest was happening, but I didn't know how we got there.
I couldn't deal with it and often found myself ignoring the story altogether. My biggest annoyance was the constant overly dramatic/snotty inflections that Scott Brick would put into each sentance, each word.
