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.

Great narration

The narration is so great, I love his Sméagol / Gollum voices. The funny parts are funnier and the serious parts are given due gravity

Loved this book

I have the paperback copy of this book and could never get into it. Found that listening to it was a whole lot better. Loved the narrative, made it seem so real.

Great, great, great

The action really gets going, of course. There is a bit less time to sit around fires and sing songs.

in the words of Dr Emmett Brown Great Scott!!

I wish all my favorite fantasy novels reread by Rob Inglis! The demeanor and inflection which he reads the characters in is how I imagined them to be.

Amazing

Tolkien is now my favorite author of many…. with vast vocabulary and grand perspectives. Wise words and intricate tales! Never have I read such a masterpiece. And this is BY FAR the highest quality narration I have ever encountered!

I wonderful tale and excellent performance!

This trilogy shaped my young adulthood and turned me into a lifelong, voracious consumer of high fantasy! Hearing the entire book read with such skill and with such amazing character provided for the voices of the different characters, made it feel like I was reading the books for the first time, again!

Love the performance

I read these books 40 years ago and my memory just isn't there. Of course I've seen the movies numerous times, but the narration performance by Rob Inglis is just stunning. There must be thirty characters in the books and Rob Inglis has a different voice for each and every character. Fantastic book but even better narration. Top notch.
