So far, "The Two Towers" is better than the first book in the series.I still need to read the final novel in the trilogy, but I really liked the journey up to the towers.In the Fellowship of the Ring, it felt like I was listening to a musical because of the constant singing to tell the tale.In this addition, it felt like more of a true audio book with the excellent reading from Rob Inglis.I'm glad that the publisher of the Tolkien series kept with same voice to narrate the story.I'm actually looking forward to reading The Return of the King, even though I always catch bits and pieces every year on tv.

I remember reading this trilogy as a teenager and I wasn't impressed but given the 3 for 2 deal Audible was offering, I thought maybe as an adult reader I might find more to appreciate. I was wrong.If you wax romantic about loyal servants calling you master and kissing your hand, or about the travails of semi-dispossessed nobility as they fight the forces of pure evil (pronounced eee-ville), or if you like books where only flawed characters and eeevil characters die, then this book is for you. It's not for me.The narrator does an admirable job, especially when he sings the dozens and dozens of songs (really too many songs).

I think I might feel differently about this book if I'd read it before I'd seen the movie. The book is different enough from the movie that it still has some interest, but Tolkien really needed an editor to help him slash this story. There are definitely times in the story that I find myself just pushing through so that I can get to the end. That said, I'm still planning to listen through the third book. I'm glad it's audio and I can listen while I work. I don't think I could manage to find enough sit down hours that I'd be willing to spend reading this book.

He captures the characters so well, he doesn't make the voices too crazy, and I might have cried a little listening to the last chapter of this. Amazing. I especially love that he does the songs. And he sings tunes that are catchy, and I find myself humming them throughout the day. Middle earth exists somewhere I think, and Tolkien wrote down the story of that world.

I thought I was the only one who was bored by these books, but then I read other reviews and realized I am not! They are extremely slow moving and the author takes 300 words to describe something that could be done in 10! There is very little action in the first third of the book!! (The movies are a 1000 times better!) I only bought these because they were on sale and I was determined to read the classic book versus watch the movie first.

Any additional comments?Book two of the epic fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien leaves the listener chomping at the bit for the last installment. We continue to follow with baited breath to hear of the fates of Frodo and the ring and his companions. The narrator expertly enhances the excitement that is trademark to any Tolkien book. A must read for all lovers of epic fantasy.

singing might be good for some. I found it incredibly annoying. I'd prefer to have read this book as oppsed to the audiobook. that way I could have skipped the singing.

the story itself is great, the narrator is good, the problem is the background noise... telephone ringing, and a fairly obnoxious female voice that pops up repeatedly completely breaking the spell of the book

it was hard to pay attention to, but it was a great plot and a great narrator

Over the past 50 years I have started and stopped reading all of the books in the trilogy. I have never gotten through more than a few chapters. This was no exception. The singing was annoying and I kept asking Alexa to go forward five minutes to avoid it. I forced myself to listen longer than I wanted to. Just not my thing, I guess.
