I have never felt more loved by an author than reading this master of masterworks.

I learned from my mistake and this time watched the movie FIRST. That was incredibly helpful, plus I think it helped that I already knew the characters. So even though the first book was often a chore to get through, I really enjoyed the Two Towers. Now I’m catching on to why Tolkien is the father of fantasy. I liked how it was split into two books and followed both the council and Frodo. There was a lot of adventure and courage and it was hard to put down at times, even though I already watched the movie and knew what was coming! I am eager to continue reading and finish the trilogy.

Much like the Fellowship of the Rings, the Two Towers is an unforgettable work. As always, Tolkien's rich world plays majestically as a host for an epic like no other. Whether following Frodo through damned marshes, or Aragorn through ancient forests, Tolkien's mastery of writing shines throughout. Highly recommend

Some interesting parts but overall pretty boring.
