About this listen
This brand-new unabridged audiobook 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.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Publisher's Summary
Journey back to the book that started it all. The Fellowship of the Ring is the first instalment in The Lord of the Rings, a series that has captivated fans for more than 60 years. A classic tale of good vs. evil filled with incredible world-building and adventure, this story by the master of fantasy, J.R.R. Tolkien, will transport you to Mordor and beyond.
In 1937, J.R.R. Tolkien brought to life the fantasy world of The Hobbit. Initially written for his children, the enchanting story filled with dwarves, orcs and other magical beings became wildly popular and set him on a path to creating one of the most beloved fantasy series ever. When prompted for a sequel by eager fans, he wrote The Fellowship of the Ring. The subsequent instalments in the series, The Two Towers and The Return of the King, also became best sellers and remain incredibly popular among adults and children. Now, in The Fellowship of the Ring audiobook, listeners can discover the ring of power and venture into Middle-earth with the touch of a button.
Tolkien’s epic book series was adapted into a highly successful film series. The Lord of the Rings trilogy broke records for depicting fantastical characters and places like the Shire and created a whole new generation of fans.
Narrator Rob Inglis brings all the characters—Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, Gandalf, Aragorn, Elrond, Tom Bombadil, Galadriel, the Dark Lord Sauron and more—to life in exhilarating ways. Whether you’re exploring this beloved story for the first time or are eager to experience it again in audio, his dramatization and delivery of Frodo and Sam’s adventures to Mount Doom, the old forest and beyond will immerse you in this magical world like never before. Prepare to be swept away by the timeless fantasy adventure that is LOTR.

Easy to listen to and get lost in Middle Earth
Since hearing The Hobbit read by Andy Serkis I've wanted him to read the trilogy. I've tried other narrators but couldn't get stuck in. 10/10 highly recommend, he brings an already fantastic book to life with his absolute fantastic performance. It seems you can feel his love for the material in every line and seems to make a few nods to the Peter Jackson LoTR trilogy in his accent and performance choices, fun Easter eggs for the movie lovers!

Amazing narration
This is a wonderful book of course, but it’s made even more thrilling when narrated by such a talented voice actor. His range and depth makes him one of the best I’ve ever experienced. So worthwhile to hear again or reread so to speak.

Get this book
I always believed these books to be long drawn out snorefests. I never could get through any Tolkien books or audio, until now! The amazing performance by Andy Circus made this an immersive experience of a lifetime! I honestly have nothing negative to say.
I love D&D so this was great to hear the origin. Also the story itself has some profound philosophy in it. Might even catch some hakuna matata…
Seriously, get this book.

Andy Serkis is fantastic
The books speak for themselves, but in audio form, they can really only be as good as the narrator. Andy Serkis is absolutely fantastic. It feels as though we are listening to different people narrating. Fantastic job!

Is there any thing Andy Serkis cannot do?
An amazing performance! Well-paced, heartfelt and completely immersive. Andy takes you on a journey and I’m sure Tolkien would be proud of this rendition. Bravo!

Fantastic, especially the 2nd half.
The performance is epic but as always, I feel that the beginning drags on. Fantastic experience as an audiobook.
