Rating: Summary: The Journey Continues... Review: The Two Towers is the second part of The Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien. In it, the fellowship of nine that was once created in Elrond has broken up so that only the two hobbits from the Shire in Middle Earth, Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee, remain on the journey to Mordor. Meanwhile, a wizard and former friend of Gandalf's, Sauron the White, has built a large army in Mordor that includes orcs, humans, and a creature that is a mix of both, and is growing stronger by the hour. He needs only one thing for his plans to rule the world to succeed. It is Frodo's mission to destroy this thing, which he happens to have in his possesion; the Ring that rules all of the other Rings of power. This ring has a power so great that if one wears it they become invisible. However, the only way it can be destroyed is to return it to where it was made, the Cracks of Doom in Mordor. On their journey, the hobbits encounter many foul-and welcome-surprises. It is for the reader to find out what these events are. A high point in The Two Towers is when Pippin and Merry enter the Forbidden Forest and come across the long-forgotten Ents. It is exciting because it keeps you wondering how dangerous these creatures are. The low points, thought, are when the author writes about parts of the journey that can be a bit boring. Overall, The Two Towers is an enthralling book to read.

Rating: Summary: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Review: The novel The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien is about the tower of Orthanc in Isengard and the tower of Baradur in Mordor. After Boromir is slain, and Marry and Pippin are kidnapped by orcs, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli begin a desperate chase after the orcs to save them. Their journey takes them to the land of Rohan were they launch an attack against Isengard. Meanwhile Sam and Frodo are desperately making their way over the Emyn Muil, and continuing the quest of the ring. There they team up with the ever treacherous Gollum, and attempt to enter the dark land without being seen by the ever watchful eye of Sauron atop the tower of Baradur. This is a great book that makes you want to keep on reading it. It is of course a continuation of the first book The Fellowship of the Ring and it is recommended that you read it first. This book develops the characters from the first book more deeply and is where the war for Middle-Earth begins. It is very exciting, and is a must read for anyone who likes fantasy, adventure, and/or action.

Rating: Summary: Book Two of a Magnificent Fantasy Trilogy Review: The Two Towers is the second book in the greatest epic fantasy trilogy of our time. The first book, The Fellowship of the Ring, told of the forming of the Company of the Ring, nine companions, who embarked on a perilous quest to the land of the Dark Lord, the land of Mordor. In the Company Frodo the Hobbit was the bearer of the accursed Ring of Power, which Sauron forged in secret eons ago, and which must be destroyed in the fires of the Cracks of Doom, the one place where the Ring can be destroyed, in order to save Middle-earth from annihilation.The Two Towers begins exactly where the first book left off. The Company of the Ring is scattered by a sudden attack of orc-soldiers, some in the service of the Dark Lord of Mordor, some of the traitor Saruman the Wizard. The orcs, mistaking the Hobbits Pippin and Merry to be the Ring-bearer and his servant, capture them, and Aragorn the Human, Legolas the Elf, and Gimli the Dwarf embark on a pursuit of the orcs, determined to rescue the Hobbits. Boromir has been slain by the orcs in an attempt to defend the Hobbits. Meanwhile, only Frodo and his loyal hobbit companion Samwise Gamgee are left to carry the deadly Ring of Power to the Mount of Orodruin, the Cracks of Dooom, in Mordor. After escaping from a dreary land of rocky mountains, discovers the creature Gollum, who had once possessed the Ring, becomes their guide as they cross the borders of Mordor. . . Meanwhile Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli discover Gandalf the Wizard returned from death. Together with the armies of Rohan, they battle against the forces and strategy of Saruman the traitor. . . The Two Towers is a highly thrilling novel, efficiently and vividly describing the Secondary World of Middle-earth, and the highly believable characters that populate it. I can hardly wait for the film to be released in theaters this December. 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: The Two Towers Review: The two towers was a fantasy book. It was my favorite book I have ever read. In the book they explained the lands they lived in and the characters very well. There will also be a movie coming out about it soon. I hope if you read it you like it as much as I did. The thing I liked most about the book was the character. The character I liked the most in the book was Gollem he does not appear until later in the book. There are other characters in the book though. Boromir was my second favorite but he dies right away. The other characters are Frodo, Sam, Arogon, Legalos, Gimli, Pippin, and Merry. The book explains every thing very well. I liked the book a lot and the next book I read will be the return of the king. Well if you want to read a long book that has a good story then this is the book for you. I would only recommend this book to people hew like to read a lot though.
Rating: Summary: The Two Towers Review: First, would like to say I am not a reader. But I saw the fellowship of the ring and i was hooked. i could not wait to see the next one. So in turn i purchased this delightful read, sat back and read this book while sipping a cool mocalatte on a brisk winter's eve as my turkey basted . (no I'm just joking around... i just read it at school for a project.) any way the book picked up right where the other ended of corse. but the orcs have sam and merry . sam and frodo are off and it starts as a long chase to catch the orcs involving Glimmi, legolias ,and Aargon (Imight of miss spelled some things wrong) it is extremly long and describtive i frankly don't want to say more because maybe like me you wanted to find out yourself but i will say that some guy from catskill,new york wrote some review about the two towers I don't know what the hell that guy was talking about so don't take any thing from that .but the book was awsome this is cliche but really I could not put it down if you really liked the first book you will love this one . the new characters are cool and interesting every wasgood in the first book and then it switches to frodo and sam and even that i thought was good but slow i'm out of time so in conclusion it rocked totally awsome
Rating: Summary: the best choice for recordings Review: aside from the slow pace of the reading, this recording is sure to please. great in the car, in bed, or whenever. it's verbatum, so read along if you like! don't buy a dramatization, get the briliant origional!
Rating: Summary: A Great Book Review: The third book in the series of four, this book explodes with adventure from the one before it. It is the sequal to the tale of a group of 9 set out on a sole quest, to throw the ruling ring into the only place it can be destroyed, the Cracks Of Doom. The book goes from one small problem to another until ultimately only Frodo and Sam get to Mordor. from there, i can't say. This book is wonderful and i reccomend it to anyone who has a sense of adventure. this tale will always keep you on the edge of your seat and it will always keep you amazed. read this book.
Rating: Summary: A Great Book Review: I loved this book because it was one of those you just can't put down. This sequal to the Fellowship Of The Ring is just as good as the first. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and it keeps you guessing. I loved this book because it feels like it actually happened and you are hearing from someone who was there. J.R.R. Tolkien puts so many creative creatures and characters in this book. He makes up a history of wars and detailed maps, it is a wonderful book.
