Sam and Frodo 🩷 I really love being on an adventure with all of these characters. I do wish Arwen specifically was as involved as she is in the movies…

Andy Serkis is a great narrator, he strikes a good balance between dramatic and conversational, making the audiobook a more compelling read than just the text alone.

In my opinion, this is the way these books were meant to be experienced: read aloud in dramatic fashion, just as Bilbo did at his birthday party in the movie.
