Publisher's summary

The Two Towers is the second volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic saga, The Lord of the Rings.

The Fellowship has been forced to split up. Frodo and Sam must continue alone towards Mount Doom, where the One Ring must be destroyed. Meanwhile, at Helm’s Deep and Isengard, the first great battles of the War of the Ring take shape.

In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien’s great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe - hobbits, elves, and wizards - spring to life. Rob Inglis’ narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.

Supurb

Love it. Very creative use of uncommon words (at least uncommon for 2017). It's a bit slow perhaps if you do not enjoy detail. But even worth a try.

After the first book, could not wait to start this

More perfection in story and narration. I never thought a audio book could add any vivid imagery better than reading the book. The movies were wonderful, but of course they adjusted and fiddled with the story ,places,timeline,and events to suit. This reading never missed a step.

Probably the best thing ever written

I read or listen to this series annually. This is the only recording to listen to. The narrator is superb, he gets it.
If you haven't listened to this recording you haven't seen how magical this story can be.

Spell binding

It's hard to believe that only one man is narrating and easy to get lost in the story and the characters

A Classic Standing Tall - Part 2

I still love the word craft of Mr Tolkien.
It proudly stands against time and all the multimedia matters all around.
I highly recommend it to everyone wishing to get lost in a vast land of Fantasy.

Looooooong

I love the general story but this is soooooo long winded. This was my second attempt at it and it still took me awhile. The first time I kept getting bored. Still, the story is good if you can get through it all. I don't know how people can read the entire trilogy every year though. I'd have to start in January to get through them by December.

Excellent!

Stellar performance- Rob Inglis is amazing with his different and unique voices for the characters! And it's Lord of the Rings, so of course the story is perfect ;)
