Summary: The classic story continues
Review: The Two Towers has always been my favorite book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy because there is no introductory material as in Fellowship of the Ring or winding-down material as in Return of the King. It is instead the heart of the story.

Divided into two halves, the first half follows the majority of the Fellowship as they contend with the secondary but still very dangerous villain, Saruman. The second half follows the hobbits Frodo and Sam as they are forced into an uneasy alliance with the weasely Gollum and approach the hellish land of Mordor.

Since this is the middle part of a larger story, few things are resolved. This is fine, as this is not meant to be read as a standalone book. It does, however, represent great storytelling, with rich detail and characters.

Many have tried to imitate this trilogy and few have come even close to being near Tolkien's level. This story is not only one of the greatest fantasy stories ever, it is one of the great fictional works of the 20th Century.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my Favforite Books
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Although it is not light reading it is really a great book. It is part of a series and is the second one in the series. If you have not read the first one (which is called The Fellowship of the Ring ) you will not understand this book at all.
The most common good races that you see in this book are: elves, dwarfs, men, and hobbits.
Hobbits are very short and have curly hair. They dislike adventures, ( And in this book there are four hobbits having adventures.)
This book is a great one and I hope you will read it and enjoy it.

Summary: The Two Towers
Review: The second part of the trilogy 'Lord of the Rings,' The Two Towers, is an exciting and suspenseful fantasy novel that will keep the reader waiting for more.

This second part narrates the perilous journey each member of the Fellowship of the Ring set of to do after the parting of the companions. Do Merry and Pippin (two hobbits) escape from the hands of the evil orcs? What actually happened to the very dearest friend and leader of the Fellowship Gandolf the wizard? Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas set off to save Merry and Pippin after the parting of Boromir, who was seduced by the Ring of power.

Frodo and Sam head out to attempt to cast the One Ring into the fiery flames of the Mountain of Mordor. On the way they run into sneaky little Gollum, a previous owner of the Ring, who, with an odd twist, ends up being their guide to the dreaded Black Gate. Will he lead them safely or will he turn on them and lead them to death?

''One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them''

Anyone that enjoyed the first novel will love this one and not be able to keep their hands off the next. The third part is about the coming of the great Darkness and the outbreak of the War of the Ring. "'The Lord of the Rings" is one of the best-loved fantasy trilogies. These books have been translated into more than thirty languages and have sold millions of copies world wide.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exquisite
Review: I would recommend this series to anyone. It is a heartfelt jouney not only across the world but also across the mind and spirit. I could read this book over and over and never get tired of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tolkien Has Mad Skills
Review: I admit, Tolkien is an excellent writer. He is vivid, descriptive, and ultimately creative. Unfortunately, not everyone can get into Tolkien's fantasy worlds, all thanks to our MTV-based society. Fortunately, for the illiterati, Peter Jackson has made some movies for those with movie-going attention spans.

Regardless, The Two Towers follows the lives of the our loved fellowship shortly after the breaking up. Sam and Frodo press on to destroy the ring in Mt. Doom, and the rest search for the Orc-Kidnapped Merry and Pippen. This novel left me in laughter, awe, and sometimes even in tears. I don't want to spoil the ending, but I will tell you this: After I completed The Two Towers, I had to immediately start The Return of the King, just to find out if what happened really was what I thought happened (those who have read it should know of what I'm talking).

Two words: Read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Two Towers
Review: Alex

       Two Towers

The Two Towers is J.R.R Tolkien's sequel to The Fellowship of Ring that is part of the Lord of the Rings series. In the book the Two Towers a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a mystical ring. He gets charged with a deadly quest,
which is to take that same ring and throw it back into the fires of Mount Doom
to destroy it and to stop evil from taking over the world. He has many
companions in his quest such as noble Aragorn, the dexterous elf Legolas, the
tough dwarf Gilimi, his faithful companion Sam Gamgee and two other young
hobbits nicknamed Merry and Pippin. Together they must fight darkness and bring
light back into the world. I really enjoyed this book because there was always
something happening. There was only one point in the story that became sort of
dull but then it picked right back up into action. Also this book was very well
written and whenever it talked about a person or a place you could see them in
your mind. Another problem about this book is that is very confusing. You have
two completely different stories going on at the same time and it is hard to
keep track of who is where and what they are doing. Overall this is a very good
book and I would recommend it to anyone who liked The Hobbit, The Fellowship of
the Ring, or if they like just plain fantasy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This was awesome
Review: This book, THE TWO TOWERS by JRR Tolkien was incredible. The sheer imagination and thought power exuded by tolkien was admirable. He really created colorful characters that had the depth to keep one reading. It was easy to read and keep a good speed throughout the book. I would advise any smart person who likes to think and enjoy good writing to read this book, because it really stands out as a classic of American Literature.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book rocks detroit
Review: this book was radical. this was the awesomest stuff ever. i am recomending this to all and hope that all have read it. when Tolkien wrote this book he was definetly in another place. this guy is the man. i hope that he does not stop with his wonderful books. this man is unreal.the ideas and languae he uses to captivate his readers is awesome.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Two Towers
Review: In my opinion is this is a very good peice of fictional liturature. This book can help you leave reality and live in a time when there was nothing but the horse and the swords and even sorcory. This book is the second of a a trilogy. It followes the story of a hobbit named frodo who is trying to take a ring that can destroy middle earth. Frodo has his faithful friend Sam Gamgee and also an unlickely companion called gollum. who also seeks the power of the ring. there are only two things wrong with this book however, 1 you dont know how it started unless you read the first book fellowship of the ring, and 2 you wont know how the story ends until you read the third book return of the king.
