This is the second part of The Two Towers, in which the
narrator follows Frodo nad Sam along their journey through the sharp precipices
and mazes of Emyn Muil, the rotting plane of the Dead Marshes, and the dark
mountains of The Land Of Fire. Their guide, Smegol, or sometimes Gollum, has
been sneaky and evasive, yet faithful and helpful. Sam and Frodo brace
themselves for a journey over the mountains of Morder by way of a secret path
called Cirith Ungol. There is little hope left in the small company, but where
there is life, there is
hope.
Gordon, have you read this before?
ReplyDeleteNo, I have not. I have always wanted to, but have not had the dedication or the courage until now.
ReplyDeleteWas it the writing style that had daunted your will to try reading it before? I tried to read one of the Lord of the Rings books before, and found the sentances were long and difficult at time to read. Have you found this as well at certain points in the story?
DeleteI agree-- I also thought it was boring; but I'm not a fan of fantasy, either. Best of luck. Maybe you can finish it this summer!
