Summary: The two towers- a masterpiece
Review: The Two Towers is one of the best books i have ever read. it starts out with boromir defending pippin and merry from orcs sent by the evil one, and from that point inward this book never disappoints. if you enjoyed the fellowship, hold on. this book will take you through many twists and turns as far as the plot. however, try to have the return of the king handy when you finish. the end will leave you hanging so much all that you can think about is wat happens to frodo and sam. nevertheless, this book is a classic and should be read by almost anyone.

Summary: A fine example of how good fantasy should be written.
Review: The Two Towers is the continuation of the Fellowship of the Ring. I would recommend this book only to those who have read the Fellowship first, for the Two Towers picks up right where the Fellowship left off. I enjoyed the Two Towers immensely. The Battle Scenes are richly detailed and present the reader with a picture that rivals the best scenes in Braveheart. I cannot wait until I purchase the Return of the King, for it is the 3rd book in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I would recommend all 3 books to a reader who enjoys the fanstasy genre or even to someone who just wants an encompassing story with one of the best plots you'll ever find.

Summary: Masterpiece would be an understatement!
Review: To the first part of this amazing trilogy I give 4 stars, because of some boring parts, but to the second part, The Two Towers, I give 5 stars without thinking too much. The story starts with the fall of Boromir that was killed by the Orcs. From there it is told how the rest of the Company straggled on in their journey, and how Sam and Frodo tamed Gollum and went to Mordor, the Land of Shadow. I started reading this story and I couldn't stop. I liked every single chapter of this book - there was no boring parts. If you like fantasies and adventures I highly recommend this trilogy, you don't know what you're missing. And about the author, JRR Tolkien - it's true what they say: a storyteller of genius! In two words - ama zing!

Summary: superbly written
Review: i've read the book THE LORD OF THE RINGS (I, II AND III) AND I FIND IT VERY AMUSING AND IT MAKES MY MIND MORE IMAGINATIVE. I HAVE ALSO READ THE SILMARILLION AND STILL LOOKING FOR THE MAP OF MIDDLE EARTH. IT'S FANTASTIC AND GREAT.

Summary: THe War of the Ring continues.....
Review: This book continues the events that took place in the Fellowship of the Ring, as now the Fellowship is broken up. Each small party explores different parts of the land, Middle-Earth created by Tolkien. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimili explore the fields of Rohan, Merry and Pippin befriend a survivor of an ancient race, and Frodo and Sam go straight into Mordor, leaded by the creature, Gollum. This was a great book and keeps you interested all the time. It really is hard to put it down once you start reading it. Afte rteh Fellowship of the Ring, I strongly suggest picking this book up (whether it be from a library or a store) and read it! It will keep you wondering what will happen in the third edition of the series.....

Summary: Ah, The Two Towers...
Review: Ah, The Two Towers... The Second Part of The Trilogy... Contains The Third Book and The Fourth Book... In the 3rd, Tolkien tells us, how Merry & Pippin are kidnapped, and how Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli followed them, from Sarn Gebir to Fangorn. They meet 'White Rider' and then go to Isengard. In the 4th, he tells us the meeting of Sam & Frodo with Gollum, the Black Gate, Faramir, and Shelob's Lair. I don't tell more! :))

Summary: Good Book
Review: After finishing the first of the series i couldn't wait to dig in to the next one. I must admit i was a little disappointed. The first book kept me in the book and urged me to read more. This one is easier to put down. This book as a lot of boring parts and even though it is very interesting it was hard to finish.

Summary: A good place to start
Review: I first read this book in the mid 1960s. I had no idea what it was about or who J R R Tolkien was. I didn't even know that it was the second book in a series of three. I had just picked it at random from a row of library books.When I started to look at it I was disappointed to see that it was the sequel to a book I hadn't read. I persevered for a few pages - and I was hooked! It was the character of Aragorn that drew me in. In other fantasies that I had read human beings were dupes or pupils of supernatural creatures. Yet here was a man to whom an elf and a dwarf deferred. The action was non-stop. I didn't know what had happened but I could empathise with the choices that Aragorn had to make and with his worries that his choices were going awry. At the half way stage when the action turned to Frodo and Samwise I was disappointed. But soon I was engrossed again. When I finished the book I went onto TRoTK to see what happened in the end, and only went back to TFoTR and The Hobbit after that. I still think that's quite a good order. TFoTR contains a lot of stuff that is boring unless you already have an overriding interest in Middle Earth.

Summary: Get absorbed in the majesty of Middle-Earth
Review: The Two Towers is the second part of Lord of the Rings. It was hard to come to a decision, but I have to say that this favorite out of the three parts. With most of the questions left from The Hobbit answered in The Fellowship of the Ring, Tolkien kicks up the action and takes the suspense to a new direction in The Two Towers. Tolkien brilliantly split the story two ways in TTT. In doing that, Tolkien allowed himself to really develope the supporting characters more easily. This becomes so apparant at times that the lesser characters seem as important as the main character, Frodo. In fact, Frodo isn't involved in about ten chapters of TTT. It gets to be noticed that the characters experience events and situations that really changes their thoughts of perceiving their world. The Two Towers is full of twists and surprises, and it leaves you wanting more. Excellent descriptions of the regions that the Fellowship pass through overflow in this book. Like in The Fellowship of the Ring, you forget that this fantasy, as the background and lore has the sense of a real and complete history. The Two Towers, overall, has a darker mood than The Fellowship of the Ring. At the end, a feeling exists encompassing the real danger that the quest might fail. The Two Towers has one real bad aspect. Near the end, the reader can feel extreme tension and suspense because of the actions in the book. Then it flat out leaves you hanging by the neck, leaving you cursing like you never cursed before, unless you have The Return of the King waiting right there to be picked up. The Lord of the Rings is not to be checked out at the library if a person wants to check out each volume seperately. Some passages will refer the reader to a Appendix, and those are in TROTK. Check out a single volume edision instead, or better yet, buy LOTR, single volume or three volume version. Lord of the Rings should be read and experienced by everyone, and acknowledge that Tolkien was a real genius. We would have suffered greatly if he wasn't born.
