What to expect

This brand-new unabridged audio book of The Fellowship of the Ring, the first part of J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic adventure, The Lord of the Rings, is read by the BAFTA award-winning actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.

In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power – the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron’s evil dominion.

Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale of adventure, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

Was very excited to listen to an old favourite narrated by Andy Serkis and this did not disappoint! Whether you're new to the trilogy or a die hard fan, you should give this version a listen. Serkis' narration is brilliant and he even sings the songs! Thoroughly enjoyed listening while driving cross country.

Good narration although I would have preferred the songs to be just read like poems rather than sungu2026 Andy Serkis does a great jobs at doing the various voices and the reading is very u201cactedu201d which is great. But I almost stopped listening during the Tom Bombadil chapters!
