In The Fellowship of the Ring, a group of men from a variety of different races have been broken. Now the surviving members head towards different goals on different paths making new enemies and friends along the way. The story is broken into two parts, each following a different group of the remaining fellowship. The first story tells the story of Aragon, Legolas, and Gimli, (a man, an elf, and a dwarf) and their pursuit after their friends Merry and Pippin, two hobbits that were captured by the fierce Urk-hai. The second part of the book takes place at the same time, but it follows Frodo, the ring-bearer, and Sam, Frodo’s loyal companion as they make unlikely allies in their attempt to reach the land of Mordor, a hostile place where the enemy is plentiful.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the second book of the trilogy, is an excellent book full of exciting scenes, battles, and treachery. Tolkien gives the reader a clear vision of what the characters face on the journey and uses a wide vocabulary to do so. Given the variety of the characters, their personalities, and the settings, Tolkien has a great amount of depth in the story. J.R.R. Tolkien effectively paints a picture that makes you want to jump in and join in the fight for Middle-earth.
The Two Towers has a total page count of 352 and is an excellent book, and is a necessary read for anyone who has read the first book. I also recommend reading this book is you have watched the films but have not read the books because the book gives you an idea of how the story really goes along. Although there are some minor dull spots, the majority of the book keeps you on the edge of you seat with an amazing story. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes for a great read.
i thought this book was excellent and i would recomend it for anyone to read.
