The Reader to rule them all....Andy Serkis
Copes of LOTR have lived on top of my main bookshelf for 40 years, at least. I often pick it up, opening it wherever it falls, any time I want to read for just a minute or two, because I can consistently FALL into MiddleEarth in an instant, and just relax. Over the years, I've heard others read this...but there was never the immediate sense of being IN Bag End, or the Golden Hall, or the woods of Fangorn.... in any of those attempts. ANDY SERKIS MAKES IT HAPPEN. I picked up all three of these together, and tried to do it--picked different chapters blind, from each book--and each time, I've had that same experience I do when I pick up my hard copy, or open my Nook copy randomly--and just been swept in to Tolkien's words, and MiddleEarth. What is more than perfection? Because that's what Andy Serkis has done here.

First reviewer!
Always fun to be the first to submit a review of a new book, especially one as fantastic as this one. Andy Serkis nailed it!

Love the series, eternally great!
Wanting to listen to the actual books is what finally got me to into audiobooks. The first one I listened to was The Hobbit read by Serkis. I quickly learned about these and got a premium account for the credits to preorder these 2 months before release. Have been a fan for years and all the expanded lore, it was long overdue I ‘read’ the books in any form. Tolkien would be so amazed that his works are held so high and famous around the world in so many forms

THE CHAPTER DIVISIONS DONT MATCH THE BOOK CHAPTERS
Perfect writing. Perfect narration. I can listen to this over and over.
My only complaint is that the Audible chapter divisions do not match the book's actual chapter divisions

Narration
The narrator isn't my favorite. Particularly the voices he uses for Pippin and the Witch King are unbearable. Very breathy.
