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

Wonderful!

Serkis gives this timeless story new life with his animated narration. I highly recommend this listen.

Andy Serkis is Amazing!!

Best version of Lord of the Rings ever!!
Serkis’s voice brings the magic and the world alive like never before!!

Andy Serkis, best narrator

I wish Andy Serkis read all my favorite books. This installment in the story has lots of Smeagol in it, which Andy Serkis is iconic in performing, but he shines in every dialogue, poem and song.

Andy Serkis gives amazing homage to JRR Tolkien

Another example of stunning synergy between a brilliant narration and exquisite storytelling. This time, also with Gollum in Serkis’s very own voice!

Excellent! Each character uniquely portrayed.

Gollum narrated by himself! Each character uniquely portrayed. Excellently read! A must have in the collection!
