The Two Towers is the second book in the The Lord of the Rings trilogy. We follow each set of characters after them being separated one way or another. We discover new characters, such as the Ents (a personal favourite of mine!) and learn more about the Orcs. Will they ever get to Mordor and destroy the ring once and for all?


I'm really enjoying the tale of The Lord of the Rings however I'm beginning to find it hard to read because of the slow pace. But I persevered through this one, and I will persevere through the next too!

 
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."
 
 
 In The Two Towers we get to know the characters a bit better, I think especially Sam, Frodo and Gollum. There's more of a closeness between Sam and Frodo than you got to see in The Fellowship of the Ring, and it's nice to see the friendship growing.
 
Unfortunately the book ends with Frodo being taken away by the Orcs and now Sam has to save him!
 
 
Overall rating
