The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Sparks and his fellow Thunderbirds fought longest and hardest to defeat Hitler.

Publisher's Summary
This brand-new unabridged audiobook of The Two Towers, the second 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.
The company of the Ring is torn asunder. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin - alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go. This continues the classic tale begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its awesome climax in The Return of the King.

Back to Middle-Earth!
Have loved these books since I was a child, and I’m thoroughly loving Andy Serkis’ performance. Some of the choice he makes for voices aren’t what I would have expected, but he commits himself completely to each character.
I’m also find new understanding of certain passages, all due to where his performance stresses the emphasis.
The trip back to Middle-Earth is well worth the price of admission,

I am impressed
Okay, it's a classic book (in the middle of a classic trilogy). That's a given. But I want to give a particular shout out to Andy Serkis. You may know him primarily from his movie work. But he's a seriously good book narrator, too! To a certain extent, he's imitating the character/actor voices from the films. And ... it's really very good.
I listened to this book on my 50 min. commute to and from work. It was perfect.
A highly recommended series with this narrator.

The beautiful classic, brought to new life!
As if the book on its own wasn't good enough, Andy Serkis has once again nailed it perfectly. The varying voices and accents of different characters, the emotions and his enthusiasm - it all spills through his narration. While the LOTR books can get difficult to read at parts due to Tolkien's amazing descriptions of scenery and lore, Serkis's narration makes it beautiful to listen to, and easy to follow.

Unsurpassed Reading Of A High Fantasy Classic
Having listened to >1,500 audiobooks and consumed more than a dozen interpretations of this book (films, radioplays, graphic novel versions, dramatizations, etc.), this iteration of 'The Two Towers' is a Top 10 recording of any book ever put to tape.
I'm convinced that no-one could ruin the author's words even if they tried.. but this unabridged reading portrays the text of this second entry in the LOTR Trilogy the way that professor Tolkien intended.
Doubtless, the main reason for the excellence of this listening product is straight-up incredible narration from Andy Serkis. True, his pronunciations, singing, and poetry recitation remain pretty weak.. but the seriousness and pathos of Tolkien's Middle Earth mythology on display in this particular episode fits Serkis's dramatic flair *perfectly*. Even beyond the absolutely flawless potrayal of 'Sméagol/Gollum', his sibilant 'Gríma Wormtongue' and booming 'Treebeard' interpretations are sheer genius. This is the best voice-acting performance of the book that I have ever encountered.
If you have the opportunity to download this 10/10-star version of a 10/10-star book, Do Not hesitate (the Rob Inglis interpretations of 'The Hobbit' and 'Fellowship Of The Ring' are better suited to the kid-friendly "whimsical" elements of Tolkien's storytelling than the Serkis readings available on Audible - but the author takes himself far more seriously in 'The Two Towers'). This is the best representation of the unabridged Books Three & Four of the LOTR volumes available. Enjoy.

great performance
was sitting here thinking, "man, the smeagol voice is so accurate to the movies"
only to realize it's literally the same actor. I guess that makes sense because I couldn't imagine smeagol with any other voice. Absolutely made the audiobook very immersive

Walking and Talking
Great characters, great performance, but so much walking and talking, its tough to finish this one specifically. There are epic moments that make up for it, but it just felt quite boring, nothing much to take home from this one. 4 word to summarize this book (spoiler warning?) everybody's favorite LOTR character, Tree, brother, and spider.

.Andy Serkis reads well, sings terribly
Rob Inglis, the old Recorded Books LOTR reader, sings very nicely the many songs in the text, enhancing the listener’s enjoyment.
For some reason, the producer of this new Recorded Books LOTR thought that Andy Serkis should sing the poems. He is a brilliant actor and reader, but his singing is painful to listen to and really detracts from my enjoyment of the recording.

Performance was not for me
I love Tolkien & it is hard for me to admit defeat but this audio book was not my cup of mead. I chose this version based on stellar reviews and was looking forward to this performance. I gave up somehere in Fangorn. I just downloaded the earlier version.
My criticism involves the following:
Aragorn 'whispers' or speaks with a downward breathy tone that to me sounds very undecided or morose. I hear Aragorn as a much more forceful character than this Narrator provides. No hero this chap.
The gutteral Orc speech is way over the top.
Gimli the dwarf is the loudest & most irritating Scotsman I could ever conjure.
The twig that broke the camels back was the Treebeard dialogue. Yes I understand that Ents speak in a slow and deliberate basso voice but my goodness this idea was taken 70,000 Ent strides too far. This ended up being a joke that was taken way way too far.
Treebeard singing was painful. I cannot sing a lick in tune but hey I would have pushed HARD for a professional singer to take over this task.
The story is pure magic. I believe it deserves a better performance

OMG! The best audio version of LOTR.
I have read the Lord Of The Rings many times and have listened to several audio recordings. This one by Andy Serkis is by far the best. Aside from the great work on the multitude of voices, what stands out are the songs. Andy gives each song it’s own flavor and character. It is truly remarkable and makes a case that these books are made better with the audio recording.

Just wow. Andy Serkis does a stunning reading of LoTR. If you haven’t read it, are a enthusiast, an Andy Serkis fan, or if you have a few spare credits pick this up!
The Two Towers will stand out. Gollum spends the most time in the trilogy. It’s music for ear holes.

Love Andy Serkis!
Andy Serkis is the perfect narrator! My only complaint is the song of the Entwives, that was pretty painful to listen to.

Best narration of the LOTRs I've yet heard!
Exceptional performance by Andy Serkis!! He brought forth all the emotions I had in my initial reading of Tolkien's books many decades ago. very grateful to him!

Epitome
This is, truly, the Best series I’ve ever experienced. I literally cannot wait to receive a token for my next book. Andy Serkis brings the books to life.
