Andy certainly does evil voices very well. I’m curious to see what his voicing for Elves, especially Galadriel, is like.

I have got the new readings and I remember the length of each recording was discussed at one point

hh:mm:ss
22:38:48 Fellowship of the Ring
21:52:50 Two Towers
20:47:10 Return of the King

It contains The Foreword to the Second Edition and The Prologue.

As regards The Appendices, it contains

Appendix A - Annals of the Kings and Rulers
Appendix B - The Tale of Years

Andy's favorite character to play this time around was not Gollum...but Old Tom Bombadillo

Had an email from HarperCollins Tolkien Newsletter

You can listen on audiobook today or pre-order the CD which will be released in November.

Amazon still quote the 14th October for the UK CD release date, so not sure who is correct.

Has anyone seen any CD release dates for the USA?

I have on question for those who own the Hobbit read by Andy Serkis. I was looking by myself but was not able to find the answer.
When you buy the physical copy, is there a code given with the set to download a digital version? I would like to buy the physical copy but don't have any CD player anymore. Thanks in advance !

Nope, it’s just 9 discs stored in the usual way. No code at all.

They have never had any digital download codes with CDs to my knowledge.

Ok, thank you !
