About this listen
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
Featured article: Aragorn - a Lord of the Rings character guide
From his time as the ranger Strider to his ascension to King of Gondor, this guide has everything you need to know about the hero Aragorn. Perhaps one of the most mysterious and intriguing characters in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Aragorn is known by many names: Strider, Elessar, Estel, and finally Aragorn II, heir to the throne of Gondor and Arnor. From a shadowy tracker who mysteriously comes to Frodo's aid to an essential member of the Fellowship of the Ring to the long-awaited king who restores harmony and peace to Middle-earth, Aragorn plays many important roles in the fantasy epic. And he has quite an interesting history.

A terrific experience
Serkis has done a fantastic job in narrating the trilogy. This was a great experience as a first time reader of the trilogy. Serkis does a fantastic job in creating the atmosphere with each character distinctive voices that are connected to the movies and, of course, you cannot forget the performance of Gollum. I grew to enjoy this book while listening and I am looking forward to listening to The Return of the King.

Fantastic!
Absolutely brilliant! Andy Serkis does an excellent job and found myself reading the story while listening to the audio book at the same time!

No better choice for a narrator
Finally, Andy Serkis gets to play Gollum again and he's still in fine form. It's something special to hear the actual voice from the films voicing the same character here. He also does a great job telling the story and playing the other parts and having to add more voices than Fellowship. He keeps knocking it out of the park when it comes to these audio books. Already looking forward to starting book 3.

A Really Wonderful Listen!
I finished The Two Towers last night, having already listened to the first in the Trilogy, and immediately start on The Return of the King. I am completely blown-away by the performance of Andy Serkis. I had not listened to any of his narrations before and was quite new to his work. I was entranced by his reading. Anyone who loves The Hobbits and the Trilogy must listen!
You will not be disappointed I promise.
In case anyone was misled by my wording above, thinking they were all by Andy Serkis, I was saying that anyone who loves J.R.R Tolkiens stories will love these productions.
