"The Two Towers" by J.R.R. Tolkien interested me with its complex characters and thrilling plots. I connected quite deeply with the theme of resilience among diversity. This was seen through characters like Frodo and Sam who seemed weak…

I can never decide which of the Lord of the Rings books is my favorite, but this one is special because it introduces two of my favorite characters. As this is the story of the middle of the quest to save Middle Earth, its tone is probably…

The party is split. Frodo and Sam have snuck away and bravely forged their own path toward Mordor, and Pippin and Merry have been kidnapped by fearsome orcs and haven't an inkling where they are headed. The three remaining members,…

This is the second in a "trilogy" as a convenience for the publisher. The three books form one complete novel. The pacing is carefully and measured, particularly in the beginning, but picks up towards in the third section as three or four…

"The Two Towers (Book 2 of the Lord of the Rings series) by J. R. R. Tolkien is the perfect novel. The Fellowship of the Ring leaves off when the company is separated by Uruk Hai orcs. Frodo and Sam must continue their journey on their own…

Part two of LORD OF THE RINGS, THE TWO TOWERS is a dark addition to the Middle Earth epic. As wizards engage in the preparation - and pursuit - of battle, gifting Sauron an early upper hand, the forces of good are tested deep inside the…

The second installment of The Lord of the Rings does a really good job of providing the reader with a new perspective on Frodo's adventure to the distant Mordor. By starting the first half of the book exclusively with the perspectives of…

Reading this volume for the umpteenth time. I love Tolkien's use of the 'heroic language' that you might find in a Norse saga.

Of the three volumes of the Lord of the Rings, I think the Two Towers is my favourite. The story retains all the qualities of soft myth that make it so wonderful, and begins to delve into the deeper elements of its emotional content and…

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was a worthy sequel to the first novel. It easily carried on from where the first book left off, and contained another interesting plot. I enjoyed seeing more of the adventures of the fellowship, even…

The second book in the trilogy is the meatiest of the three, and while it is my least favorite, that by no means makes it inferior to the others; I simply prefer other scenes and imagery in the other books, and that's entirely my opinion.

In this, Part Two of THE LORD OF THE RINGS, we follow Frodo and Sam on a quest to destroy the Ring of Power. Guided by Gollum - not the most trustworthy character - their adventure is fraught with vagaries of deceit.

The second part of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers is a compelling high fantasy drama. In the first half of the book, we follow the remainder of the Fellowship – except Sam and Frodo, who have turned their path aside to take…

The second book of the trilogy, The Two Towers is an awesome book! Part one follows Aragorn and most of the surviving Fellowship, and part two follows Frodo and Sam. It's a wonderfully well written book that I am very glad to have read.

A fun and quick read. I enjoyed discovering the things that were left out of or altered in the movie.

The great tale of the Ring continues. Now that the Fellowship is broken, the stories diverge. The first part of this book focuses on Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, with a break for Merry and Pippin. The second half tells the tale of Frodo…

The second installment in the trilogy is awesome! While it wasn't better than the The Fellowship of the Ring, it was very good literature. You need to read these in order!!!

This book divides the narrative of the fellowship (now broken) into two separate narratives, each taking up one half of the book. The first half, involving Aragon, Legolas, and Gimli, are fascinating and quick. The action is wonderful, the…
