Summary: Two Towers is the Best
Review: Ever have had something that many want people want to possess? Try overcoming being chased by nonliving warriors riding dragons. Have you ever felt like the fate of the world hung around your neck? If you have experienced this then you know how Frodo Baggins from the Lord of the Rings felt. Frodo was young hobbit from the Shire who really looked for adventure when ever he could find. He wanted to meet new people and see different creatures he had never seen in his life. But the only reason Frodo got to go on adventures was because his uncle gave him the ring of power. Frodo had to get the ring to Mordor and not let the ring get into the wrong hands. The ring has such power that it could conquer the whole world.
I really liked the Two Towers. It is a great fantasy novel because it contains all elements that a good fantasy novel should contain. In my opinion J.R.R Tolkien created the greatest quest in the entire fantasy genre. If you read the story very carefully you can see that Tolkien kept on switching settings between characters. For instance in one chapter Tolkien would focus on Pippin and Merry then in the next chapter he would focus on Aragorn, Legalos, and Gimli. The best battle in the book in my opinion was the Battle of Helm's Deep. The only flaw was in the beginning Tolkien only focused on the other three companions that Frodo abandoned. I would highly recommend the Two Towers to any who is a fan of fantasy.

Summary: A Must Read * * * *
Review: I read this after seeing the movie. There was a lot of action that never made it to the movie. This book is really great, the battle at Helms Deep was a lot different than what they showed in the movie! You have got to read this book, but be prepared it's a long one!

Summary: Shelob is in this one?
Review: By the time one gets to The Two Towers, after traveling through The Fellowship of the Ring, one feels quite at home in Middle-earth. Unlike the first novel, where the action is fairly linear, this second installment of The Lord of the Rings is divided into two books. The first chronicles Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli as they try to rescue Merry and Pippin, meet the king of Rohan, and fight the battle of Helm's Deep. The second half jumps back in time to follow Frodo and Samwise as they try to make their way into Mordor.I enjoyed this book even more than Fellowship - possibly because there is more action in it. Also, the story feels more compressed, as it deals with a relatively short amount time (a month, perhaps?) whereas Fellowship told a leisurely story that occurred over several months. Once again, as I read, I was convinced that the point of these books is not to arrive at the end of the tale, but to simply enjoy the journey. Because Tolkien is so good at his job, and has created a fully-realized world with three-dimensional characters, it is easy to understand how so many readers have come to lose themselves in the books. At this point in time, I cannot not talk about the movies. If one comes to this book AFTER SEEING the films, one will realize that Peter Jackson played around with endings. The beginning of the book The Two Towers is actually the end of the movie The Fellowship of the Ring. Also, the adventures in this book take us far into the movie, The Return of the King. I was pleased to find this out because the Hobbits' encounter with Shelob is one of my favorite parts in the story.

Summary: The Lord of the Rings II
Review: This book truly enchanted me right through the begining. At first I was confused with all the orthanc and all the orc and good guy names. Then, after reading the book a couple of times and watching the movie, I really got the hang of it. I love the battle of Helm's Deep and the "Taming of Smeagol." NOBODY can replace this book. If anybody tries to copy this book you will notice it right away because it is so unique.

Summary: Part Two of Tolkien's Great Fantasy Epic
Review: J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Two Towers" is the second part of the classic "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, widely regarded by many as the greatest fantasy epic ever written. The novel is far more sweeping in scope than Peter Jackson's acclaimed film adaptation, especially when the latter comprises only one half of "The Two Towers" ("The Two Towers" has scenes which appear in the first and final installments of Jackson's film trilogy.). The title refers to the twin towers held by Middle-earth's dark lords; Orthanc, at Isengard, the home of the traitorous wizard Saruman and Bard-dur, the Dark Tower of Sauron in Mordor. This splendid novel continues the chronicles of Frodo Baggins, the Ring Bearer, and his companions and friends as they seek to destroy the accursed ring, and free Middle-earth once and for all from the threat posed by the Dark Lord Sauron. Book Five recounts the exploits of Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Merry and Pippin. It opens with Boromir's deathbed confession to Aragorn, admitting that he tried to seize The Ring from Frodo Baggins. Before he dies, Aragorn assures Boromir that he has regained his honor by fighting bravely in defense of Merry and Pippin, now captives of orcs - some from Isengard, and the others from Mordor - returning to Isengard with their prisoners. Soon Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli follow in pursuit of these orcs into the land of Rohan. Merry and Pippin escape and flee into the old forest of Fangorn, meeting Treebeard, the eldest of the Ents. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli venture into Fangorn too, and are reunited with Gandalf, newly risen from the dead, after his fierce struggle with the Balrog from Moria. Eventually their paths will cross in Rohan, at the capital city of Edoras, soon after a successful defense of the kingdom from Saruman's forces at Helm's Deep led by King Theoden, his nephew Eomer and Aragorn. And Merry and Pippin will see Saruman's power destroyed and his fortress of Isengard wrecked by vengeful Ents led by Treebeard. Book Six chronicles Frodo's and Sam's eastward trek towards Mordor. They meet Gollum, who is tamed - at least for a while - by Frodo, acting as their guide into Mordor. They also encounter Faramir, Captain of Gondor, Boromir's younger brother, who offers them friendship and advice regarding their journey. It is a journey that becomes more perilous due to Gollum's renewed treachery, as the trio head towards the dark pass of Cirith Ungol and the ancient evil lurking within.

Summary: righteous piece of literature
Review: The second part of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Two Towers written by J.R.R. Tolkien, starts to summarize the trilogy about a quest to destroy a dark, powerful ring. This book demonstrates the feelings of love, hate, peril and deception.
This fiction book is about a hobbit (halfling) named Frodo and his journey to destroy a weapon of mass destruction, a ring created to rule all the peoples of Middle Earth. This book picks up where the first part of the series, The Fellowship of the Ring, left off, at the watchtower of Amon Hen. This story follows Frodo and Sam all the way to the watchtower of Cirith Ungol. It follows him through his troubles through the darkening lands before Mordor. The book also follows his companions, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas through the Gap of Rohan to their great battle at Helms Deep, and their quest to find two hobbits, Merry and Pippin, who had been captured by Saruman's Uruk-hai.
This book is an outstanding work of literature. It can keep you on your toes through the whole thing. J.R.R. Tolkien was not just a scholar but an amazing linguist. He came up with three languages and expanded them into over five. The story shows that no matter what, you shouldn't trust new people, no matter how trustworthy they seem. Also, no matter what, you will almost always find what you are looking for, even though there may be some unexpected twists along the way.
I highly recommend this book. It is an extremely righteous piece of literature. It is a great way to follow the characters through their separate journeys, after their separation, through Middle Earth.

Summary: the two towers
Review: The Two towers by J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the greatest books I have ever read. This book is the sequel to The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien and it continues the story of Frodo the ring bearer, and his gardener Sam. I really enjoyed this book because the story line was very well thought out and Tolkien knew exactly how he wanted to put things. I also liked how Tolkien didn't just write a fantasy book that takes place in the places and times that we know. He created his own land and his own time, and this just gave him endless abilities to make the reader get into his book. I also liked how Tolkien described his characters. He didn't just tell us what they were like, but he showed us what they were like through the choices they made. Most authors would have had a tough time trying to show the reader with words what they saw in their minds, but Tolkien using a lot of detail does an excellent job of getting the reader to see what he sees. I also like this book because it really stretches the imagination and makes you think what it would be like if the world was like it was in this book. I have read the entire Lord of the Ring series and this was my favorite by far. I loved how this book sets up the ending in the third book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy or is just looking for a good book to read.

Summary: Defeat the the towers or the book
Review: I read Lord Of The Rings Part Two The Two Towers. Written by J.R.R Tolkien, it is the second book in the series.
The forces of Mordor were growing. Frodo, Sam, and Gollum were on their way to MT. DOOM. Along the way, they crossed paths with Forimier, Borimier's brother. Forimier and his bowmen found Frodo in the woods. Forimier and his men attacked an army going into Mordor. Meanwhile, Merry and Pippin were still in the clutches of the Orcs. Arogorn, Gimli, and Legolas were still on the trail of the Orcs. Merry and Pippin escaped one night, but they went into Fanghorn Forest by mistake. Arogorn, Gimli, and Legolas went into the forest and met Gandalf the White. The four rode off to see King Theadon. When Gandalf convinced him to fight, they fled for Helms Deep. Gandalf knew they were heading into a trap. When the war had started Legolas and Gimli competition to see who killed the most Orcs. After the war Arogorn, Gimli, Legolas, Gandalf and the King left for Isengaurd. When they got there, they met two unexpected hobbits.
To like this trilogy you must like fighting and medieval times. I can't say if I like the movie or the book more they both have their ups and downs.

Summary: JRR Tolkien is a genius
Review: Jacob A With, your a dumbass. You must have no imagination because thats all it takes to enjoy a Tolkien novel. JRR's world of fantacy world is brilliant. Anyone interested in the LOTR read a summary of one of the books and you'll want to read the whole thing. I recommend this book to anyone with an imagination.

Summary: Part Two of the Epic Trilogy
Review: The Two Towers is another amazing book in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Be sure you have read the Hobbit and the Fellowship of the Ring before reading this book. The only difference in this and the first is that the action heats up at the begining, right where the first left off. There are parts with Marry and Pippen and the tree people (the Ents) that can we boring, but you won't be able to put it down. The novel is filled with many battles, surprises, wit, and wisdom. If you liked the Fellowship of the Ring, you'll love the Two Towers.
