Publisher Description
This brand-new unabridged audio book of The Fellowship of the Ring, the first 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.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power – the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron’s evil dominion.
Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale of adventure, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

Amazing
Well done Andy
A triumph
The voice acting is so good it is almost like listening to an audio play. Absolutely fantastic.
Ultimate Comfort audiobook
Such a brilliant audiobook, Andy Serkis has done a fabulous job bringing the characters to life each with their own voices. The Tom Bombadil chapters were particularly joyful.
I could rave about this audiobook forever but I just love love the way Andy Serkis has made an already brilliant story even better.
Some things I love and random thoughts:
-Tom Bombadil
-The songs. I’ve seen reviews saying people don’t like all the songs in the book but I’ve always loved them.
-The Hobbits. It’s interesting to me that Merry and Pippin are more serious and well respected than they are in the films.
-Sam’s reaction to Frodo leaving the Fellowship at the end :’)
-Legolas and Gimli spending loads of time alone together in Lothlorien?? They’re married and I love them
Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series as read by Andy Serkis, has to be the ultimate comfort series.
