Amazing

I loved the story and narration. I was engrossed from beginning to end. Will listen again.

Narration

The narrator isn't my favorite. Particularly the voices he uses for Pippin and the Witch King are unbearable. Very breathy.

LOTR and Tolkien fans......U MUST!!

simply put.....INCREDIBLE!!!! Andy Serkis is pure brilliance ( as usual ) He puts you right smack in the middle of the story.

Immersive

Well done on all points! Tolkien and Serkis go together like bread and jam, as my gaffer used to say.

Wonderful

I wasn’t sure about Andy Serkis reading this, but I am most pleasantly surprised! No…he doesn’t do a great job with female voices, but then again, there are not a ton of female characters anyway. He doesn’t have a lot of character changes in voice either, but the man can build an atmosphere like few others I’ve ever heard. He can make the hair stand up on your neck, or bring the bitter tears to your eyes. I’ve read this series probably hundreds of times, but this was my first time hearing someone read it to me and I loved it! Well done indeed!
