A review by bibliorama
The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien

adventurous emotional hopeful tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

It's been 10 years since I first read Fellowship, so finally getting to this book feels like a monumental task completed. And, I have to say, I liked this book more than I thought I would and I believe that if I read The Two Towers back when I was a wee bean I probably wouldn't have appreciated it as much. So, good on my younger self for knowing my brain needed more incubation time before I read more Tolkien XD (we'll just say that's what it was). 

I liked the second half of the book the best. Sam and Frodo have always been my fave BFFs for life. Here's to hopefully not another decade before I get to Return of the King.
