Representaion As Books The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings #2)
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.Identify Books Supposing The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings #2)

It's sometimes hard to complain about one of your favorite books, but here I go, comparing it to the damn movie and making my complaints. :)... the movie has much better pacing. I mean, damn, I love how it improved on the book by switching between PoV's like that! No sticking with Aragorn and company and THEN sticking with Merry and Pippin, etc. And then the battles were all pretty much superior in the movies, but we're spoiled. Super spoiled.BUT I really really HATE how the movie adds freakingAnish: This book is a vast, VAST improvement on the last one!People: Really? And yet you rated it 4 stars while you rated the last one 5 stars! Anish: Yeah well, for me this book had a couple of problems...People: Really? Are you even serious? Do you not know what you have just read? Who you've read? Anish: I do know that and it has nothing to do with penmenship but... People: For shame, Anish, for shame! What do you have to say for yourself? Anish: This is what I have to say...First
Another Tolkien review? Yep, Im putting out another Tolkien review. Im on a mission, a mission to review everything written by Tolkien. And I literally mean everything. Ive read most of his works, so Im starting with those first before I move on to the few I havent read (theres not many).This is all preparation, and a readdress of his writings, before I delve into Christopher Tolkiens twelve book The History of Middle-Earth later on this year. Yep, Im that much of a Tolkien nerd. Ive been

It is with great sadness that I begin this review, as whilst I was in the process of reading this book, I found out the the son of J.R.R Tolkien and the person who edited much of his fathers work has passed. Christopher Tolkien is undoubtedly a legend in the fantasy community and even in the larger literary world. This is very disheartening news for fantasy community as the way that he has continued his fathers work was astounding. So RIP Christopher Tolkien.Now heres the review.I think what
Well two down and one to go. One of the first things I have to say about this book is WOW the battle of Helm's Deep was short. Since I saw the movies before reading the books, so much of what I saw is superimposed over the words I'm reading. This is probably the first book series I've read, after seeing the movies, where I feel like seeing the movies helped. I tip my hat to Peter Jackson, personally, after reading the first two parts of the Lord of the Rings, I think he did a fantastic job with

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.This second installment (or the middle of the book to be more correct) is phenomenal. If you had some trouble trudging thought the songs and the first and second breakfasts in the first book, this book is your reward. The story, the characters, the sass! The Two
