Publisher's Summary

Here is the original American full dramatization, as broadcast on National Public Radio.

War rages in the west, a titanic battle of will and strategy between the great wizard Gandalf and Sauron, the dark lord. Meanwhile, eastward in Mordor, Frodo and Sam approach the end of their improbable quest, bearing the One Ring ever closer to the Cracks of Doom, and to a final confrontation with the very essence of evil.

      "NOT a reading of the book...be forewarned"
      Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

      not if they intended to "read" the book...the cast varies from same...


      Who was your favorite character and why?

      Gandalf - saved the world of Middle Earth


      Did An Ensemble Cast do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

      yes, but it plays like a 1940s radio show


      Did The Return of the King (Dramatized) inspire you to do anything?

      yes, read more carefully the reviews before I buy a download
