The Two Towers by J.R.R Tolkien
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.

J.R.R Tolkien writes much like he does in the other two books I've read, The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring. I really like his use of heavy description, although many find it tedious. I find it adds greatly to the depth of the story and helps me visualize the events and landmarks. This series has also presented many new words or phrases that I have been inclined to research. This is definitely my favorite fantasy series.
ReplyDeletewhat would you say is better, The Two Towers or the lord of the rings book. What is your favorite book by Tolkien. Would you recommend this book to anyone.

ReplyDelete.Well I have not read into the book considerably, so I have not formed a definite opinion on the two. I have read the Hobbit by Tolkien and really liked it, but the Fellowship Of The Ring is excellent! I would recommend this series and The Hobbit to any fantastical reader who loves description!
ReplyDeleteHave you finished this book yet, Gordon? Do you like it as well as or better than The Fellowship of The Ring? Tolkien really does do imagery and description well, doesn't he? Have you seen any of the movies and if so, how do you think they compare to the books?
