The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers is an Adult High/Epic Fantasy novel, book 2 in the series.
Like with book 1, the same narrator is utilized, and although he isn't a bad narrator, he's just not really that thrilling and exciting to listen to. It's even harder to listen to him read the book when he starts singing the songs, everything is just sung the same really. All in all, not a bad book, but about halfway into The Two Towers, I just wasn't feeling this book at all. I felt bored when listening to the lore and songs, I can't remember what happened to most of Aragorn's story, and the story just wasn't engaging enough to keep me tuned in unfortunately. Anyway, I'm not stopping here and plan to reread/listen to book 3 The Return of the King, but I'll be taking a break from this series for a bit.
