About this listen
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.

Brilliant
Andy Serkis is fantastic here. He gives an authentic voice to every character. I think i'll find it difficult to go back to listening to the original audiobooks after hearing Andy's energy and enthusiasm. Thanks Andy.

Listened in two (mammoth) sessions
Serkis is fantastic. I'm so glad this has finally a modern reading, and I'll be going straight into the 2 Towers.

Andy Serkis puts you back into middle earth.
Perfect performance, clear recording, top quality effort on Mr Serkis's part as can be expected.
His Tom Bombadil had me smiling non stop.

The Voice of LOTR
Magnificent. Andy Serkis, for decades known as the voice of Golem, may he now be known as the voice of Lord of the Rings.

A true pleasure!
This was a true pleasure to listen to, the only thing that I might put down as negative is the quite long songs that come sometimes, not that the reader can’t sing but more that it gets a bit boring to listen to in the long run. But that’s just me looking for a dislike. Andy Serkis has a fantastic voice and makes the characters alive, thank you for reading this book for us!
