This simply isn’t for me. I can recognize the immeasurable influence LOTR has had on western fantasy, but I don’t have to like this story. Tolkien’s priorities as an author simply are not my priorities as a reader. 

Andy Serkis gives an INCREDIBLE performance in this book. Absolutely inspiring. It doesn’t matter how small the line, how minor the character, how long the song, he gives every word 110+%. If you want to read LOTR, I cannot recommend this audio enough.
