Andy Serkis is the voice of Gollum/Sméagol in the movie. He voiced over 100 different characters for this audiobook.

It's locked into the Chirp app or website. They don't offer direct downloads of the files.
Still a good audiobook IMO, but the ownership story isn't as good as through something like libro.fm.

FWIW i got this a few weeks back along with the whole fellowship set when they were on audible sale. It was awesome and i already moved on from hobbit to book 1 of the trilogy. Andy is amazing, and not just for gollum parts, thats just icing on the cake

What's the format here? Do I have to use an app or can I download it as an MP3 file?
If you're semi tech savy, you can find an extension to download mp3 file. Each mp3 file is based on chapters

I wish he narrated more books after hearing this one. I would try a new book if he were reading it. Damn good work with the characters

Turns out that if you are tech savy enough, you don't even need an extension. Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try out the app but it is nice to have an alternative.

This audiobook is only 3 hours longer than the Hobbit movie trilogy, and with 100% less bloat.

Quote from wallace.fanning :
Mine was $1.99… not 100% on version but seems cool and I'm *really* picky on voice actors.

*Normally, I prefer Kindles do TTS vs voice acting… old men doing weird voices (ex: high pitched girls) really destroys the immersion…

From what I've heard Andy S. Neither over nor under "acts" this… That is a crazy good compliment for me… 😅🤷🏻 ♂️🤦🏻 ♂️🤦🏻 ♂️🤦🏻 ♂️
Are you saying you enjoy Kindle Text-to-Speech? I'm assuming it's pretty decent otherwise you wouldn't be saying this — I've yet to try it!
