The Two Towers: Being the Second Part of The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, 2)

The Lord of the Rings saga continues in The Two Towers, the second volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin--alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

"Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. The book presents us with the richest profusion of new lands and creatures, from the beauty of Lothlórien to the horror of Mordor."--Sunday Telegraph

An amazing continuation from Fellowship. My winter '16-'17 read through of LOTR is being completed in a chronological order so there has been some jumping around through both "books" of this work to attempt to keep things in some form of order.

My favorite chapter of TT by far may have been Treebeard. There is so much in this chapter that was simply left of out Jackson's adaptation that it is simply a shame.

Onward to ROTK! Forth Eorlingas!

Re-read (4th time). Definitely the best book ever written. Character that the movie portrays unjustly: Faramir
