Synopsis

An unlikely hero. A perilous quest. The greatest adventure ever told.

In a quiet village in the Shire, young Frodo is about to receive a gift that will change his life forever.

Thought lost centuries ago, it is the One Ring, an object of terrifying power once used by the Dark Lord to enslave Middle-earth. Now darkness is rising, and Frodo must travel deep into the Dark Lord’s realm, to the one place the Ring can be destroyed: Mount Doom.

The journey will test Frodo’s courage, his friendships and his heart. Because the Ring corrupts all who bear it—can Frodo destroy it, or will it destroy him?

'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

This brand-new unabridged recording is narrated by the acclaimed actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.

It's been years since I listened to it, and I'd forgotten how absolutely perfect it is. I first discovered this version of the story in 2002, when it was......more

UNA DRAMATIZACIÓN EXCELENTE. Está adaptado del libro así que no está completo completo, pero lo que ocurrió en la historia fue muy emocionante y la música y los efectos de sonidos te metían en la Tierra Media. De verdad es que quedé fascinada :3......more

Goodreads review by Barb on September 02, 2016

Three strikes in three decades is my score for trying to read, "The Lord of the Rings." The pacing at the start puts me to sleep. I struggled with "Slaughterhouse Five" as a college student, but later listened to the audio book and was able to finish it. Ditto Shakespeare. This audio book on "The Fe......more
