5.0 out of 5 stars Just Couldnt Put This Book down., 13 Jan 2003

By	Astore Stargazer (Lancashire) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers v. 2 (Paperback)

After reading the fellowship before this, I was eager to start right away and indeed from the first time I picked it up I read nearly 100 pages on the first day. The journey of the fellowship is now split up and now the book divides into 2, to start with you get the story of Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas on the trail of the foul orcs that have kidnapped Merry and Pipin. And then the second half of the book picks up where Frodo and Sam left the fellowship to complete the mission on thier own, and what you get is two stories skillfully knitted together that goes completely hand in hand with the other, thanks to the clever hand of Tolkien.

The Two Towers is better than the first book, as it is here where the war for middle earth truely begins, with the traiterous Saruman creating an army through the tower of orthanc and Sauron massing an army in mordor at his tower of Barad-dur. And with this the perils of middle earth is now well exposed as the story now really kicks on at great speed from the first book and is completely emersing, as you get drawn into it, as again the vision of Tolkien is skillfully narrated once more and leads you on to the third and final part of the trilogy, the return of the king.

Quite simply a must read, even if your not a book worm yourself dont miss out on what is the greatest story ever written, I myself has never been a fan of fiction, as I tend to stay to real life stories and biographies but reading the lord of the rings has renewed my hope in fiction as I now am reading about the elder days of middle earth and I am completely amazed as to how one person could think of his own world with such imagination and yet so flawlessly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant recreataion of Middle Earth, 5 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Two Towers (Audio CD) (Audio CD)

I loved this CD, a slightly altered version of the BBC Radio 4 dramatisation, but brilliant still. The cast bring the story to life with such care, that they bring you along with them. The voices match the characters well, and you just feel you're in Middle Earth.
The CD intersperses the Frodo & Sam aspects of the story with everyone else, which works brilliantly, helping everything comes together for a thrilling climax.

I love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps you wanting more, 8 Jan 2002

By	chrisjones28@hotmail.com (Guernsey, C. I.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers v. 2 (Paperback)

After reading the first part of 'Lord of the Rings' I imidetly started on this book.

It keeps you griped and makes you wanting to find out what happenes. The characters are beliveible and the descriptions are second to none. It is not quite as good as 'The Felloship of the Ring' but still has that toilkien magic. I would recomend it to any one who is a fan of the genre but you must read the first book before.

'The two Towers' leaves you on a chilling cliffhanger that will make you want to the start the third book stright away.

All in all a great book: 10/10
