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

4.5

Having just finished a reread of ‘The Hobbit’ the opportunity falls to backlog ‘The Lord of the Rings’. I first read the trilogy as long ago as 2015 I believe and have reread it, but not very recently so until I reread don’t have loads to offer in terms of review. 

‘The Two Towers’ follows a few narratives due to the dissolution of the Fellowship. I adored the sections with Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn however the ‘Sam and Frodo in the mountains’ chapters that make up 50% of the books are notoriously long and dull, and quite a graft to read through, at least for a much younger me. That perspective may have changed nowadays.
