Summary: "Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction"
Review: This book, along with the other two, are positively stunning, the detail in this book can go a little overboard, but it still deplicts a stunning masterpiece!Here is an exerpt of the detailed text. "Ahead and eastward they saw the windy uplands of the Wold of Rohan, that they had already glimpsed many days ago from the Great River. North-westward stalked the dark forest of Fangorn; still ten leagues away stood it's shadowy eaves, and it's further slopes faded into the distant blue. Beyond there glimmered far away, as if floating on a grey cloud, the white head of tall Methadras, the last peak of the Misty Mountains. Out of the forest the entwash flowed to meet them, it's stream now swift and narrow, and it's banks deep-cloven." A very detailed book but still absolutely stunning!!!

Summary: All should bow to the God of fantasy literature
Review: This is the second course of the greatest trilogy in fantasy literature. Tolkien writes with a fervor that puts all modern sci/fi fantasy writers to shame. Jordan and Brooks need to go home stop writing and read a little more Tolkien
Rating:
Summary: This is part of the ultimate fantasy trilogy.
Review: Few books have ever been so well loved or so often copied as this trilogy. There is none better. What else can be said?Read the complete series and you too will echo that famous complaint of Tolkien lovers, "It's just too short."

Summary: Great book. Don't miss it
Review: The Two Towers tells two stories. First, it tells of the defeat of Saruman. This is Pippin and Merry's part of the story. With some help from Ents (walking & talking trees), Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Eomer, Theoden and the newly resurrected Gandalf, the power of the traitor wizard Saruman is broken. In the second half of the novel, Frodo and Sam are lead to Mordor by Gollum. But Gollum, try as he might, cannot overcome the corruption of the ring; and his obsession to repossess it leads to betrayal. Wonderfully poetic, fun at some places, sad and dark in others, this is a novel not to be missed. If you don't have a copy, get one and read it. If you have read it, read it again. It never gets old. It gets better with age.

Summary: Powerful, enchanting and groundbreaking!
Review: ‚The Two Towers' takes over, where TFotR ended. J.R.R. Tolkien takes us once again back to Middle-Earth, his fairy world populated with unique forms of life and filled with ancient myths. And amidst this enchanting setting, we accompany our merry band of Hobbits on their exciting adventures that carry them to places far beyond their and the readers imagination. After the fellowship broke apart at the waterfalls of Rauros, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas set out to rescue the two young Hobbits, Merry and Pippin, who had been captured by orcs to be brought to the traitor wizard Saruman. The chase itself is as fast paced as the second part of Tolkien's first book had been since the departure from Elrond's home. The events that unfold around the three hunters culminate in a furious battle at Helm's Deep where the riders of Rohan clash with Saruman's mighty forces. These chapters possibly form the most intense string of chapters of the whole LotR trilogy. In contrast to the classical epic fantasy style of the first part, the second part of TTT focuses on the journey of Frodo and his faithful companion Sam to Mount Doom, the mighty fortress of evil Sauron. While the first part of TTT is filled with strife and warfare, the second part is also a journey to the true meaning of friendship, trust, betrayal and courage. Frodo and Sam find assistance when they least expect it by the hands of Faramir, brother to late Boromir, who succeeds in uncovering Frodo's secret task, but rather gives the weary Hobbits hope than despair as he resists the temptation to take the one ring from Frodo when he has the chance to do that. And they experience betrayal at the hands of Gollum, who first brings them closer to their final destination, but eventually leads them into a fatal trap. But it's the courage of dear Sam, who prevails when things appear to have been lost and evil is just one final step from victory... And that's probably the key to 'The Two Towers'. Where TFotR focussed on the adventures of a group of heroes set out to defend good from evil, TTT teaches us about friendship and faith, all spiced up by exciting battles and mysterious riddles. That's what makes Tolkien's epic so unique, as it is more than just a string of adventures in a world of fantasy and magic.

Review: The Two Towers
Book Review
J. R. R. Tolkien's The Two Towers is a fantastic book. It is the kind of fantasy that every person would enjoy. There is every kind of event, so even the pickiest person would be able to find something they like. The second book in a three part series, The Two Towers continues the story of the Ring. The reader meets many new characters, including the Ents and the Riders of Rohan. The Two Towers is about the quest to destroy the Ring of Power. If the dark lord Sauron gets the Ring, all of Middle-earth will be destroyed. The broken fellowship now insists of three groups: Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli, Merry and Pippen, and Frodo and Sam. The novel starts with the death of Boromir, who was taken over by the Ring. Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli immediately set out to find Merry and Pippen. Merry and Pippen have been captured by the enemy and must be rescued. This
begins The Two Towers, with many more adventures to come. The Two Towers is a must-read for anyone who likes fantasy and adventure. There are no weaknesses. I enjoyed reading the novel very much. The beginning starts out slow, but things speed up quickly. Anyone who likes fantasy will enjoy it because every page in this masterpiece is very well written. The Two Towers is definitely a great book.

Summary: The Lord of the Rings;Return of the King
Review: This is the second book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. This book continues the journey of the fellowship. Their task is to destroy the ring of power. Unfortunately, the fellowship is broken up. The hobbits, Frodo and Sam, continue on towards Mount Doom. The rest of the group race to save Merry and Pippin, who have been captured by Sauruman's troops.
This book races through events and follows the two groups as the story unfolds. Where will the fellowship find help? Can Gollum be trusted? We are introduced to the people of Rowhan, Gondor and the wonderful Ents. We witness the first great battles of the war (at Isengard and Helm's Deep). We can feel the tension increase as the hobbits get closer to their goal. However, the closer they get, the harder and harder the road becomes. It is similar to a wave cresting right before crashing into the rocks.
This book continues the wonderous tale of the ring. Tolkien's life long work on Middle Earth comes to fruition in these books. Tolkien's focus on the details that back up the story and myths of Middle Earth reaps tremendous rewards to the reader. It is a great read!
