Being the second part of the Lord of The Rings Trilogy,The Two Towers, by J.R.R. Tolkien, is an amazing novel. It follows a great wizard, a ranger of the dunadain, a wood elf, a dwarf, and four brave hobbits. Two of which, Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee, continue their journey to Mordor to destroy the ring of power. The first half of the book follows the story of Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Merry, and last but not least Pippin. Merry and Pippin get captured by the fierce Uru-khai and taken to the feared Fanghorn Forest. In the forest they meet Tree Beard, who is an ent, that ends up helping them defeat Sauruman the White. While Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli fight an epic battle at Helm’s Deep against the tens of thousands of Uru-khai. While they are busy battling Frodo and Sam inch closer to the Black Gates of Mordor. On their way they encounter a pitiful being called, Gollum. At first he is considered hostile by Frodo and Sam but then, Frodo begins to gain his trust, to his demise...
     This book is a great read and it also is very entertaining. If you’re into action, adventure, and fantasy then this is the book for you. It also is an amazing allegory (a story with a hidden meaning) to WWII and the Nazi party. The more you read of any of Tokien’s stories, the more you begin to realize how much of a genius he is. The book has also been made into a motion picture which is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen...all thanks to Peter Jackson of course. Overall, this book is well worth your while, although it is not for the faint-hearted!
