4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a visual companion, 2 Dec 2002
As with Jude Fisher's first visual companion (to The Fellowship of the Rings), the photographs in this book are stunning. The new places to which the Fellowship travel are shown and new characters are introduced. But don't fear, there is plenty to see and read about Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli; plus, of course, Gandalf the White!

The book starts with a reminder of what happened in the first film, and then shows some of what awaits the Fellowship as they travel their separate ways. It gives good detail without giving away the plot of the film and so can be read before you see the film, or as a reminder of some of the 'good bits' after you have seen the film. The still from the film of the seige at Helm's Deep at the end of the book is extremely stunning. The page then opens out to show an illustration of the battle-plan, helping to visualise what happens when, where and by whom.

I found it a very good guide; with reference to the original Tolkein text as well as quotes from the film. Fans of the film will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Striking stills make good visual companion, 19 Sep 2003
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
In the same way that the book does not substitute for the movie, the movie cannot substitute for this “Visual Companion.” The book helps enhance and explain what the movie has no time for and would take time to extract from the original lengthy book.
The most striking part of this companion is the photographs especially two of them. The first is of the Ent; it is so much fuller than you remember from the movie and could almost be a portrait over your fireplace. Looking at the Ent’s translucent eyes and plant like whiskers you would think this is what “The Green Man” should look like. The second striking picture is the two page conflict between Gandalf and the Balrog (read, orange and yellow with a black background.) To add to these pictures is a full 4 page fold out of the highlights of Middle-Earth.

4.0 out of 5 stars The story - simply told., 15 Mar 2004
By L. Felthouse "Avid reader and published writer" (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The Two Towers visual companion is more something for a fan or collector of Lord of the Rings stuff, both of which I am. Is is not essential to own to know the plot of the story, but it is useful in refreshing your memory, and also giving a basic outline to the plot. The photographs are wonderful. A must for any fan.
