I linked to the timestamp where my favorite part begins. That whole chapter gives me chillbumps.

I'm so glad I have a job where I can keep my headphones in through my whole shift. Soon I will finally be able to finish the definitive version of this beautiful story.

I'm now about to begin Chapter 6 of The Two Towers, and HOLY DAMN this shit is getting good. There was a chapter where the orcs were talking a lot and his voices for them were spectacular. Music was queued in at all the perfect times and yeah man it was just awesome.

Im not really into audiobooks, but Ill give this a chance. Big fan of LotR, so thanks for the recommendation.

Me neither. But this one is different.

He uses unique voices for all the characters, uses music from the movies, and adds sound effects and ambiance to the narration/dialogue.

The only flaws are
1. occasionally the music drowns out the words, but it's not enough to ruin it.
2. While following along with the book, I've noticed he occasionally skips a sentence or two. I don't know if this is on purpose or on accident. It happens seldomly enough to not ruin it.

Am currently reading the battle of Helms Deep. Im actually reading it from the book, though. There is too much happening for me to understand it all through spoken word.
