whatdidtizzleread 's review for:

The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
4.25
adventurous tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

My scale:
1. Terrible writing & story, or extremely offensive and problematic.
2. Mediocre story, mediocre writing, or too problematic to enjoy.
3. Good/great story with good writing.
4. Great story with beautiful writing.
5. An impactful story with breath-taking writing.


4.25 - will update later. But the writing just draws me in and I am so invested in the characters, the world, the mission, everything. Remarkable how a simple quest can be so rich. The descriptions of the Ents and Ithilien are beautiful. Points off for the vague racism and blatant Orientalism in describing enemies.
