Summary: The adventure continues
Review: Are you desperate to find out the rest of The Lord of The Rings saga? J.R.R Tolkien's "The Two Towers" is an exciting and adventurous book that will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time you are reading. Tolkien makes it seem that each page is full of adventure and you won't want to stop reading until you are done. Once you are done you are going to want to put it down and go to the library and ask for the third book, then you won't want to stop reading that one. I really enjoyed how there is never a dull part in the book, but the only specific thing I didn't enjoy is how the books end in the middle of some of the best parts. I encourage you to also read this book it is one of the most interesting books you will ever read.

Summary: EXTENDED VERSION OF THE MOVIE? READ THE BOOK FIRST!
Review: 5 Stars is definitely not enough!I love Peter Jackson's movies based on Tolkein's classics but what a tragedy it seems that there are people out there, especially kids, who may assume that Jackson's is final word on the wonderful world of Middle Earth. READ THE BOOK! The story in THE TWO TOWERS is tremendous, creative and truly profound. And don't make the mistake of thinking that this book or any of the others from Tolkein are children's books. I recognize that everything in the book cannot be translated to film but there are spectacular things in this book that were left out of the movie. Watch the extended version of the movie? Yes, but READ THE BOOK first. Some of my favorite characters and characters essential to the total story were not included. There are also some unnecessary twists taken by Jackson and his crew that are simple and beautiful in the book. THE TWO TOWERS wonderfully takes up where THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS leaves off and continues to follow the progress of The Fellowship as they continue their quest to overcome the powers of Sauron as he tries to regain the great ring and to dominate Middle Earth. But A WORD OF CAUTION: should you read THE TWO TOWERS you won't be able to stop there. The next thing you know you'll be picking up THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and then wrapping up with THE RETURN OF THE KING. You won't be able to start with this one and stop there. And if you haven't read THE HOBBIT yet you will likely be adding that one to your library as well. The GOOD NEWS is that you will not regret a single moment! I could go on and on. No shame to the movies. Jackson did a terrific job with some of the most complex and beloved stories in history but, if you liked the movies, don't miss the epic stories that await you in reading the books. THE HORSEMAN

Summary: hobbit heros
Review: This is the sequel to the Fellowship of The Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. After the fellowship has been broken, Frodo and Sam have set off on a different way as their companions towards the dark land of Mordor. Frodo's one mission: to destroy a small gold ring that will give the Dark lord ultimate power. One small compilcation: the ring can only be destroyed by throwing it into the mouth of Mt. Doom, right next to the dark fortress Barad Dur. I thought this was a good book an its one you can read more than once.

Summary: best book ever
Review: I read a very good book and that book was The Lord of The Rings The Two Towers.There were two things I liked in the book and that was they how Leglas shot two arrows at his enemies. Then the last thing I liked was when Gandalf was coming over the hill for Aragon with an army. I think this would be good book for everyone to read.

Summary: The Lord of the rings reivew
Review: Michael Simmons

Pd.7 Reading Imagine given a magical ring that could destroy the entire world if the forces of evil get it, if you don't destroy it. This is what Frodo Baggins had to do. This story is about a struggle for a ring of power in a place called middle earth. The two sides of the struggle are the free peoples and the forces of the dark lord called Sauron. Characters in the story are Frodo (a Hobbit), Sam (also a Hobbit), Legolas (an Elf), Gimli (a Dwarf), and Borimer, Arogon, Gandalf, Saruman, and Theoden (all Men). The setting takes place in a place called middle earth. In middle earth there are many regions were these different people live. Like the Shire (where the Hobbits live), Rivendel (where the Elves live), Gondor, Rohan, and Isengard (where the Men live), and all in the mountains live the Dwarfs and the Goblins (part of the evil side), and finely where the Orcs (evil) live in Mordor. The plot of the story is that a dark lord called Sauron, a spirit, has his minion's try to take the ring from Frodo. While he is doing that, armies of Sarumans from Isengard attack the people of Rohan. This is where the struggle of Rohan to survive comes in. Now the heroes have to split up.
First, My over all opinion of this book is that it was a good adventure book but too many details. This book is a Fantasy book. The only way that this was a page turner book is because of the action.
Last This book was Fantasy because none of the book was true. The book is part of a 3-book series, and this is the second one of the series. In conclusion, I recommend this book to people who can remember things.

Summary: Good book for teens and adults
Review: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - one of the bestselling books in the 20th Century. The "Two Towers" is the second part of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Reading this book without having read (or seen the movie) the first part, The Fellowship of the Ring, this book does not make any sense. This book has 398 pages and is printed pretty small. Even though the book was written for adults, many kids and teens (like me) read it. It has a 6.3 reading level. J.R.R. Tolkien describes Middle Earth in the book series "The History of Middle Earth" the book "The Hobbit" and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The Lord of the Rings really has six books, each of the three books has two books. In the first book Frodo, a hobbit (small human-like creature) gets the Ruling Ring. He and the fellowship ride for a few months and have many adventures. The fellowship's goal is to destroy the ring. At the end the fellowship scatters. In the first part of the two towers most of the fellowship (except Frodo) fight the traitor Saruman and have adventures of their own. In the second part Frodo and his servant Samwise go to the borders of the dark land, Mordor. There they get attacked by a monster. After all I would recommend this book to adult and teens who read or saw the first book. Because of battles describes with many people dying I would not recommend this book to kids under 6.

Having reading this book, I can truly die a happy person, knowing that this is the best book I will ever read in my entire life!

Summary: Excellent, entertaining, stimulating novel
Review: the Two Towers continues the exciting story of the fellowship of the ring. It offers more excitement and suspense as well as several surprises. Tolkien consistently stretches the reaches of imagination, and he always provides logic and reason so that his story makes sense and follows a consistent stream of creativity. As I read the rings trilogy, I found that it was helpful to have seen to the movies to help picture the events, characters, and surroundings. Of course, the movies made much more sense after reading the books, but I found reading the books more enjoyable than the movies. I am really glad that I decided to read them at a friend's suggestion. Tolkien is an excellent writer. This book along with the others is intelligently written. It is not just kid's stuff. It is stimulating reading. He tells a great story filled with complex characters and plots. The story follows a logical and understandable path that sparks the readers full imagination and range of emotions. This book offers some of the severest character conflicts in the books as the characters must make sharp decisions about their actions and alliances. It introduces new characters and species that offer fresh starts throughout the story. This book of the story in no way serves as a filler or drags on and on. It is filled with action and suspense. There is no let up in the action at all. And don't think that since you have seen the movie, you don't need to read the book. If you liked the movie at all, you will indeed enjoy the book, especially if your one criticism of the movie is that it didn't make sense. The book will fill in the gaps and will cause you to appreciate the movie much more.

Summary: The Two Towers It's pretty good!
Review: J.R.R. Tolkien's The Two Towers brings this fantasy world of the Middle Earth to life, with his vivid description of the land around. Tolkien's epic adventure takes you on the ride right along with the characters. Though at times the tale is tedious, it is as a journey over valleys and mountains would be. If you choose to read this book, I would definitely recommend reading The Fellowship of the Ring first, it being the first book of the trilogy. That would then allow you to understand much more of the story.
