The Return of the King - Tolkien
Audio performance by Andy Serkis
5 stars

I’ll say it again. Andy Serkis nailed the Gollum voice. I can still hear that last scream…Precious! It’s well worth having this audio version for that alone. But, I still did not listen to the whole book. I’d rather read the many songs than listen to Serkis or Rob Inglis ( the other audiobook edition) try to sing them. I understand why Serkis would give Treebeard a deep, very slow voice, but I didn’t think slowing Aragorn and Legolas added anything to the text.

I’m being unreasonably picky. I’m grateful that these new recordings brought me back to these books for yet another reread.

I want to be a hobbit in my next life.

I'd be happy to join you for all the hobbit eating ... but I would rather be an elf :)

thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I love the entire trilogy, but this one is my favorite. Ummm, do I want to be a hobbit or an elf? Such decisions...
