5.0

I think this version of The Two Towers is the first time that I have enjoyed the Frodo and Sam part as much as the first half of the book. Usually, when reading it for myself, I skim the Frodo-Sam-Gollum section up until when they meet Faramir, and then I read that section, and then I skim again until the very end. This time, though, I enjoyed the whole book! Listening to Andy Serkis narrate made all the difference in the world.
