Summary: Colorfull
Review: The second part of Tolkiens trilogy is perhaps the most encompassing and captivating. It is a true symbol of Imagination, colors,fantastic characters and epic Battles.
It is not easy to forget the slimy Gollum or the Touching devotion Sam showes his Master at the End of the Book.
Unlike the other two Novels this one does not suffer from a lack of supense, nor is it in anyway overexaggerated. Through ceartain part one truly imagines he can hear the pages breathing. A true classic and an epic symbol of Moralistic Fantasy which in many ways surpasses the recent Movie.

Summary: An Excellent Book
Review: "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" Is a brilliantly written book, and it's also my personal favorite. It's a story about two hobbits named Frodo and Sam trying to reach the fiery pits of Mt. Doom and destroy the evil ring of power, but it is also about Frodo's struggle to overcome the rings evil temptation. My favorite part of the book is when the Riders of Rohan battle the savage Orcish horde and ultimately defeated them. My second favorite part is when Frodo and Sam meet up with the strange creature called Gollem. So, in the end I give the book four stars because of its exciting and adventurous plot.

Summary: Lord of the Rings The Two Towers, It's Neato!
Review: Lord of the Rings The Two Towers
By: J.R.R. Tolkien I must admit at the beginning of the story it is a little slow, but when you get a little further into it, it becomes the greatest thing you've ever read and you wont be able to put it down! It's a real thriller and I recommend it to anyone and everyone In this book Frodo Baggins is still on his way to Mordor trying to defeat the dark lord Sauron by destroying his ring in the fires of Mount Doom. While the strange creature gollum is leading Frodo and Samwise to Mordor Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn are battling the Oruci at helms deep. With all this in mind there is still more to tell, Merry and Pippin are also in this book escaping from the Oruci and convincing the Treefolk to wage war with Saruman himself. I'd say the climax of the story is at the very end ...

Summary: A most magical and action-packed fantasy confection
Review: .R.R. Tolkien continues The Lord of the Rings with triumph and imagination once again. Sheer brilliance mixed with an epic storyline. Middle-Earth is once again filled with enchanting landscapes, an assortment of creatures and a sense of danger and evil all around. But the second part of LOTR is still not perfect. The Two Towers continues right where the first part left off. Hobbits Frodo and Sam leave the Fellowship and trek to Mordor alone, being followed by a creepy critter. Merry and Pippin have been caught by Uruk-Hai warriors and Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli travel to Rohan to speak to the King Theoden. After Gandalf makes a stunning return, the four adventurers convince the troubled King of Rohan to prepare for war, as Saruman is ready to attack with his army of Uruk-Hai. The people of Rohan head to the fortress of Helm's Deep, confronting the evil Uruk-Hai. ... The Two Towers has it's many moments, but the same problem of FotR plagues the second part: Tolkien has a bit too many unessesary sub-plots and dialogue. Of what could be the perfect novels, they are sometimes clogged with un-needed elements that would've just made the story flow smoother. However, I'd say that The Two Towers has a sharper narrative than the more episodic Fellowship of the Ring did. With all of it's glorious mountains, fields, rivers and forests, and the different varieties of creatures running around, the main reason these books are so great are because of the characters. Gandalf's booming directing or Sam's hearty nature, the characters are the most memorable elements of Lord of the Rings. It only is better with the more three-dimension Gollum. The Two Towers succeeds where Fellowship of the Ring somewhat lacked, even though they sometimes contain the same problem. However, this is a fantastic adventure book, filled with action and suspense, imagination and flair. The climactic battle is unforgettable. And do please check out Peter Jackson's 'The Two Towers' film that's now in theaters. Fantastic.

Summary: Overall, MUCH better than its predecessor!
Review: This book definately bests its predecessor, The Fellowship of the Ring. There is less description and thank god, less SINGING! The part of the book that really won me over was Book 4. And especially the last 2 chapters! I don't want to give anything away, but I read them in one sitting. It was great. At one point, it got me crying. This is definately the best part of any book in the trilogy! The only reason I gave this book 4 stars is because of Book 3. I found it pretty boring, except for a few surprises here and there. If you read the Two Towers, just skip straight to Book 4 and fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a great ride!

Summary: The trail to Mt. Doom gets dimmer and dimmer
Review: The Two Towers is the continuation of The Fellowship of the Ring, and the second part in what is known as Lord of the Rings. This book is also the best part from the Lord of the Rings. The book is mainly divided into two parts. In the first part, we follow the acount of Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. As the trio continues to search for Merry and Pippin, they run into the White Rider. Is this White Rider a friend or foe? And you will also follow them as they travel through the land of Rohan, and combine forces with Rohan's king and army. Join the crew as they travel to Helm's Deep, and face the forces of Isengaurd, and a final confrontaion with Saurman is at it's hand. The part with Saurman is very alarming and different that what one would expect. The second half of the book revolves around Frodo Baggins, and Samwise Gamgee. The duo is traveling throuh Eymn Muil, with hopes of reaching the Dark Gate, and to make their way to Mt. Doom. On their way, Smeagle, or Gollum catches up with them, demanding his Precious. The lust filled creature is somehow tamed by Frodo and Sam. Soon Gollum becomes a vauleable ally to the Hobbits. Soon the trio meet up with Faramir, Boromir's brother. Yet unlike his brother, Faramir is able to resist temptation by the Ring. But when a accident occurs, and Gollum misunderstands the situation, the outcome is disasterous. This book was beautifuly written by my favorite author JRR Tolkein. This book will leave you on end, as it did me. It has more action, and drama than the first book, and that is why it stands as my favorite of all of Tolkein's works. If you have just seen the Fellowship movie, and liked it, I highly suggest this book. If you have seen the Two Towers movie, and liked it, I very highly suggest it. This book will remain a constant favorite of mine

Summary: The Two Towers, The best book ever!
Review: The two towers is an awesome book. The fellowship has now broken into three groups, and the book follows the whereabouts and events of Merry and Pippin, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, and Frodo and Sam. Merry and Pippin have been captured by the relentless Uruk-Hai and escape into Fangorn Forest. Frodo and Sam are hopelessly trying to fufill their quest to destroy the ring with the deceitful Gollum as their guide. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are tracking the captured hobbits in Fangorn Forest when Gandalf returns to them. They all make for Edoras and heal the bewitched king Theoden. After retreating to the fortress of Helm's Deep, Aragorn leads the battle to make a final stand...This is a fantastic book that i recommend to readers ages 14 and up. There is a lot going on a one time that might be hard for younger kids to understand. I had to read the series over again to make sure i understood.
