The Two Towers

The Lord of the Rings, Book 2

By: J. R. R. Tolkien

Narrated by: Andy Serkis

This brand-new unabridged audio book 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.

Critic reviews

‘An extraordinary book. It deals with a stupendous theme. It leads us through a succession of strange and astonishing episodes, some of them magnificent, in a region where everything is invented, forest, moor, river, wilderness, town and the races which inhabit them.’
The Observer

‘Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century.’
Sunday Telegraph

‘The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and those who are going to read them.’
Sunday Times

‘A story magnificently told, with every kind of colour and movement and greatness.’
New Statesman

‘Masterpiece? Oh yes, I’ve no doubt about that.’
Evening Standard

What a thrill!

Andy Serkis' great narration skills and voice acting makes it come jaw-droppingly alive in your ears in all its glory.

Fantastic narration..

Fantastic narration of the Greatest Story of All Times! Impressive how many voice improvisations Andy Serkis skilfully and superbly masters...

Profound writing

Listened to this at a time where carrying on felt impossible. The Hobbits taught me that hope only truly comes alive when all hope dies.

extraordinary voice acting

I cannot praise this more. Andy Serkis brings Tolkein's genius alive in so many ways. I never thought a single reader could create such an immersive experience.

Andy Serkis is a Gigachad KING

This is probably the best audio rendition of the book that you will ever listen to. I'm still amazed at how Andy can do all those cast voices. And, of course, there is Gollum now! The best!! 🫶🏽
