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

3.0

I understand this is a classic and the whole trilogy is the first of its kind so props for that. And when you think about all the things that the author had to come up with to make this story work and to build this amazing world which has influenced all the fantasy that came after that, this really is an amazing work of fiction. But it's long and boring at times. I enjoyed Andy Serkis' performance in the audiobook but if I had to listen to Treebeard on normal speed I would have DNFed the whole thing.
I'm glad I could envision everything because of the movies because my eyes glazed over everytime someone started singing or reciting poetry so I would have missed a bunch of stuff.
