Publisher Description
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.

Fantastic
Fantastic reading of fantastic novel
Awful voices
Story’s great but oh man the voices are dreadful - especially Tom bombadil - his chapter(s) should never have been approved for publishing.
Wonderful but voices can be jarring
I love being able to listen to LOTR, but there’s no consistent volume and some of the voices are frankly annoying. Tom bombadils chapter was hard to listen too, especially with the off key screechy singing HOWEVER i do love Andy Serkis and as the narrator he’s brilliant, my only qualm is with some of the voices :)
