Publisher's Summary
The Fellowship is broken; the quest to destroy the Ring seems already shrouded in disaster. But as the evil lord Sauron readies his armies for war, Frodo and Sam continue their lonely journey toward Mordor, guided only by Gollum, a deceitful and tortured creature, helplessly in thrall to the Ring's dark power.

"Not the reading of the book...."
Is there anything you would change about this book?Was on a long road trip with my son; it was a nice diversion - but it was NOT the book as written. It is a radio show version of the book and there is some diversion from the original. If what you are looking it the actual reading of same (which we were) this is not the right download.
Who was your favorite character and why?Aragorn - the King...
Have you listened to any of An Ensemble Cast’s other performances before? How does this one compare?no
Do you think The Two Towers (Dramatized) needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?no; but needs a straight forward version reading of the unabridged book

"Weak cast for a hacked up version"
With a story that has such a rabid fan base, you have to be careful not to tick people off. Sadly I did not notice that it said "Abridged" until I had already purchased it. I listened to it with the hope I would not notice what was missing. This was not the case. The cast came off sounding cartoonish and goofy like a 1920's radio drama instead of maintaining the more mature feeling this epic tale deserves. Maybe it was recorded several decades ago back when audio books were done with 20 cassette tapes? It sure sounded like it. This story deserves better.

"Poor Recording"
Is there anything you would change about this book?It's a classic story and a great book. The recording is from an old radio broadcast with many of the author's insights and emotional descriptions removed and replaced with sound effects. Some may find it a welcome change, but I felt let down and unattached to the story.
Would you be willing to try another one of An Ensemble Cast’s performances?No
