Rating: Summary: The Fellowship of the Ring must split up Review: Two members of the fellowship of the ring have passed on in the previous book, and now the fellowship must split further onto paths which will take them far from one another and all of them deeper into dangerous territory.The pitiful creature, Gollum, takes a stronger role in this book, and the true evil which they are up against becomes further revealed in this book. The entire Lord of the Rings series is a wonderfully writen, astounding, adventure tale of friendship, hope and courage in the face of horrible adversity and turmoil.
Rating: Summary: The Two Towers Review: Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkein is one of the best books I have ever read. Two Towers is the second book of the Lord of the Ring series. The plot of the novel revolves around destroying the ring of evil power. The novel beginning with an interesting "cat and mouse" game. The characters are from all over middle earth. Some of the characters are Froto, Gimly, Arawhen, elf and dwarf. The character are trying to destroy the ring. They had to destroy the so the evil would not come back. In the book Gimmle comes later. Gimmle helps them get to somewhere they need to go. He is helping them because he was tortured because he had the for along time. When they found out he had it they found him and tortured him. On the way back they blindfolded him so he would not know the way back. In the book they had a lot of imagery. When I read some parts of the book it felt like I was in the book. He used a lot of description. The symbol of the book was the ring itself. The ring symbols the book because the book is based on destroying the ring. The theme of the book is about the Hobbits. Hobbits even though small have as much to offer as humans, elfs and dwarfs. I would recommend Two Towers to anyone who likes to read to fantasy and adventure books. Tolkein used many details to describe the characters and settings with in the novel. The sere Lord of the Ring is an exciting, suspenseful and action packed book. I cant wait to read the next book in the series.
Rating: Summary: The Two Towers Review: The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien is an epic tale about two courageous hobbits. Their fate separates them from the rest of the Fellowship when attacked by a group of orcs. In the attack, Boromir is slain and the hobbits Pippin and Merry are taken captive. The other two hobbits, Frodo the ring bearer and Samwise his trusty servant, leave during the attack on a quest to destroy the evil Ring of Power in the feared land of Mordor. The remaining members of the fellowship Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli begin their chase of the orcs to save the captured Pippin and Merry. While Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli were hunting the orcs, Frodo and Sam find an unlikely guide who takes them to the gates of Mordor and beyond. Frodo and Sam meet untold perils on their trek to the gates of Mordor. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legalos, and Gimli take part in an epic battle that leads to a turning point in the war against Sauron, and begins Pippin and Merry on their road to fame and glory. I recommend this book to people who like action, drama and fantsy. Before you read this book you should read two other books written by J.R.R. Tolkien. These are "The Hobbit" and "The Fellowship of the Ring", the prologue and first book in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, respectively. These books are all very good books and are definitely worth your time.
Rating: Summary: The best book I have ever read! Review: I think this book is one of the best books I have ever read. It is a great Fantasy and is full with a great plot. The 350 plus pages was hard to read in the amount of time that I did. It was so hard to put down. Many people like this book because they saw the Movie. I will say that was the reason that I started reading this book but now I just love the book and could not care less about the movie.
Rating: Summary: Two Towers Review: The Two Tower comes after The Fellowship of the Ring and before The Return of the King. Most of my favorite parts in the trilogy are in this book and The Return of the King. Some of the things that Frodo goes through are amazing. You would almost think that he wouldn't be able to go through with them. This book might be hard for young readers because of the style that J.R.R. Tolkien uses.
Rating: Summary: The Two Towers Review: I would encourage this book for people with high reading ability, to read this book. Two Towers' is a very action packed book with lots of emotion and glory. Before you read this book you should be sure to read the book The Fellowship of The Ring or watch the movie so you can get some background information. I like this book because it shows the friendship of each other and their willingness to stay together. The hardships that they are faced with are very trying and testing of themselves. "But if we hold true to each other we will do what needs to be done." This is a quote from the book. The two Towers' is totally a book to read if you are into action and adventure.
Rating: Summary: great modern mythology! Review: I found this book to be a great companion on my recent business travels. Having enjoyed the movie version of part one with its abrupt ending... I picked up this book to ease my curious mind. I have been warned by some that Tolkien's writing is long and boring, but I did not find it to be that way at all. The book is much more detailed than I anticipated and sometimes the story goes off on tangents, but I always found them interesting. Mostly, I like this book, and the entire three part story, becuase it is filled with so many mythological symbols and lessons. I am a huge fan of Joseph Campbell and his writings on "The Power of Myth". This story is such a fine example of modern myth written to not only tell a interesting story, but to continue the tradition of teaching life's lessons and secrets through mythological stories. I would highly recommend this book and the other two in the series, as well.
Rating: Summary: the two towers Review: I liked the two towers it was an awsome book. frodo is with his best friend Sam starting an adventuert trying to find Mordor and they help each other to stay alive while the others are looking for Merry and Pippin. Merry and Pippin try to stay alive without getting killed by the orcs. The neateat part was when Gandalf came back desguised as a white rider. I would recememd this book to everyone even grown adults. It's for people who love adventure books. It also has lots of expeditions and adventures in it. That is the most thrilling part.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME Review: I don't think that I need to tell anyone out there how amazing Tolkien's tales are. My cup runneth over. My imagination was thoroughly stimulated and I think I may end up reading this again in a few years.
Rating: Summary: The Two Towers Review: The Two Towers is a great and provoctive book, in my mind one of the best books of the century. J.R.R. Tolkien should have recieved a nobel prize for his works. It displays the greatest examples of fantisy and fiction in the modern and ancient world. His creatures have set the stage for all of the current and future storytellers. Tolkiens collection of creatures runs from kobolds to hobbits he is the epitimy of what all fantisy writers should be like. The Two Towers I believe is his best book in the trilogy and to which all fiction writers should set there compasses. The detail that it includes is amazing. In some parts of the book I feel that Im there. I see what they see and the dialog is absolutly astonishing. So I recomend that this book be read by all.
