Ilustration As Books The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings #2)
The Fellowship was scattered. Some were bracing hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Some were contending with the treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam were left to take the accursed Ring of Power to be destroyed in Mordor–the dark Kingdom where Sauron was supreme. Their guide was Gollum, deceitful and lust-filled, slave to the corruption of the Ring. Thus continues the magnificent, bestselling tale of adventure begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its soul-stirring climax in The Return of the King.Identify Books In Pursuance Of The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings #2)

It is with great sadness that I begin this review, as whilst I was in the process of reading this book, I found out the the son of J.R.R Tolkien and the person who edited much of his fathers work has passed. Christopher Tolkien is undoubtedly a legend in the fantasy community and even in the larger literary world. This is very disheartening news for fantasy community as the way that he has continued his fathers work was astounding. So RIP Christopher Tolkien.Now heres the review.I think whatTolkien did not design The Lord of the Rings to be read as three separate books. However, since the book is flawless, there is just no boring moment. Even if you chop it further to 6, 12 or 24 books, I think all of them deserve 5 stars. I am not a big fan of fantasy genre but this one is just over the top. It is about good vs. evil and the nature of evil. With a universal theme like that, the non-stop action, the memorable characters, the extricate design of the fictional world, Middle-Earth and
Book Review For as long as I can remember, I have loved serial fiction and saga stories. The Lord of the Rings trilogy and associated books by J.R.R. Tolkien are a treasure. I first found the books when I was 14 and had to re-read again when the movies came out in the last decade or so. The second book, The Two Towers, was a worth follow-up, enhancing every original love I had with the story. I'm generally not a fan of the fantasy genre, and have only read perhaps 20 books in total, less than
Another Tolkien review? Yep, Im putting out another Tolkien review. Im on a mission, a mission to review everything written by Tolkien. And I literally mean everything. Ive read most of his works, so Im starting with those first before I move on to the few I havent read (theres not many).This is all preparation, and a readdress of his writings, before I delve into Christopher Tolkiens twelve book The History of Middle-Earth later on this year. Yep, Im that much of a Tolkien nerd. Ive been
Rereading The Lord of the Rings in German is an interesting exercise; as usual, not knowing the language well and being forced to go slowly makes me notice aspects I missed or skipped over on earlier visits. Two things in particular stood out. First, and I guess this comes from first being exposed to Tolkien at age 10, I had somehow managed to block out the fact that Frodo is obviously gay. I outlined this theory for my friend E, who shares my passion for Scandinavian languages and Middle Earth
I'm one of very few people in the world that actually really hate the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and 'The Hobbit' as well. I've read 'The Hobbit' twice, trying to capture the second time what I was sure I must have missed the first time round... but no. And then I read The Fellowship of the Ring and found Frodo's story to be as drab and long-winded as that of Bilbo. I would have stopped there but my friends told me that I should definitely read this book, promising me great adventure and
Herewith Some Notes On My Inaugural Journey Through The Second Volume Of Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings Me after staying up all night reading The Two TowersI liked The Fellowship Of The Ring , but this book made me love Tolkiens Middle-Earth epic. Some of the writing is astonishing (see quotes below). The author handles various storylines the fellowship has scattered, after all gracefully. And after having two of its main characters (and their slimy guide) spend a lot of time climbing up a
