Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Two Towers is kewl
Review: This book is a good one. The only bad part about it that I noticed was that I could put it down with ease, unlike the others of this series. I didn't notice any difference, it was just that I lost track of my spot on the page, or something. I don't know. Get this book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Sundered Fellowship
Review: After reading the compelling book The Fellowship of the Ring, I of course went on to read The Two Towers. I must say I was a little disappointed by this second book. The plot was very slow, and most of the book was just the group walking and wandering. Now don't get me wrong - this is a must-read if you are ever to complete the trilogy. It's just a little tough to get through. The book is at it's best just near the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So far, the greatest of "The Lord of the Rings" series
Review: This book, so far, is the best "The Lord of the Rings" series. -Grant Thornhill

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful story! Easy to read!
Review: This wasn't a book that I chose to read, it was a book that I had to read. Th Fellowship of the Ring was so beautiful that I had to read the next two. And let me tell you Iwas not disappointed! The Two Towers was easy to read AND had a very in depth story line. All who read The Two Towers will agree with me when I say it deserves five stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unputdownable!
Review: This book has to be one of the best books ever written. I don't see why so many people have read The Fellowship of the Ring but have never even heard of The Two Towers, which is by far superior.It has every thing you could ask for in a fantasy: adventure,strange and mysterious creatures,characters you care about, drama, betrayal,suspense, and even some humor.

In the first half of the book Orces attack the remainder of the fellowship, kill Boromir, and kidnap Merry and Pippin. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli try to rescue them but are soon caught up in their own problems; defending the people of Rohan and fighting Saruman. This half is mostly told by Aragorn and Pippin while the second part is seen from Sam's point of view.

In the later half Frodo and Sam try to get into Mordor and the only one to lead them is Gollum, former owner of the ring.

I highly recommend this book, don't leave it unread.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Masterpiece!
Review: J.R.R. Tolkien stands out among fantasy writers as few others do. Almost equal to C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles Of Narnia), and inferior only to Lewis Carroll, he has created a true masterpiece in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. In fact, each book flows into the other so well that you don't really feel as if you've read a trilogy; you feel as if you've read a very long book with three excellent chapters. And as long as it is, when it ends, you wish it weren't over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great read.
Review: Like all J.R.R.Tolkin's books I found this to be a great read. He seems to be able to draw the reader right into the story. His characters have a lot of depth and you can feel their pains, joys and triumphs. Middle Earth is a land just over the next horizon and Tolkin makes it so believe that you can smell the evil of Mordor or hear Shelob as she moves among rock. Read this and the other two books in 'The Lord of The Rings'series I highly recommend them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PHENOMENAL BOOK!
Review: I find it very pathetic that so many of you Tolkien fans out there wrote so much about the first book and not the second. So many bad reviews came in for The Fellowship of the Rings; who would even want to come to this page?! I think this book is AWESOME! Tolkien is a genius. I love how he takes time to develop each persons character. Some say that the characters are flat and two-dimentional, but if you think that, *you're* two-dimentional!! The 'heroes' have flaws (even Aragorn), the antagonists have their good qualities (however few). Particularly, this is where we get some really good insight into the characters of Gimli and Legolas. Fellowship is a good start, but this is the best for characterization because by Return of the King you already know what everyone is like. That's what makes this book good, apart from the absolute wonder of the trilogy as a whole.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the best books I have ever read
