When I got to within 40 pages of the ending and discovered I was forcing myself to keep reading, I quit. Boring. Interminable. Still haven't got up the interest to read Return of the King. It took me nearly two months but I finally completed this audiobook. This is technically the third time I have read or listened to this story and it still amazes, entertains and challenges me. As with The Fellowship of the Ring, the audio narration by Andy Serkis is incredibly well done. I really liked this book. I had watched the movies, and then became interested in reading the books. I loved how this one flowed, unwrapping slowly like a morning glory in the early dawn. Beautiful and full of magic. It builds for an epic climax, showing beloved characters new and old. It continues to tell the tell of Frodo and the Fellowship as well as showing more of Middle-Earth and all her hidden secrets, both good and evil. Book 3 *** Book 4 *****
That 'The Lord of the Rings' should appeal to readers of the most austere tastes suggests that they too now long for the old, forthright, virile kind of narrative... the author has had intimate access to an epic tradition stretching back and back and disappearing in the mists of Germanic history, so that his story has a kind of echoing depth behind it...

Frodo and his companions of the ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the ruling ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They lost the wizard Gandalf in a battle in the Mines of Moria, and Boromir, seduced by the power of the ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down th great River Anduin ... alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go. No library descriptions found.
