As I've heard, The Two Towers is superior to Lord of the Rings' first book, The Fellowship of the Ring. For some reason, my favorite element is arguably the talking tree-people who help subdue Isengard. Unfortunately, the last chapter, which would have been fantastic, was ruined by the appearance of...

The Two Towers suffers from the Jan syndrome. It's the middle child, and one that wasn't even meant to exist. Tolkien didn't intend The Lord of the Rings to be a trilogy, but rather one whole book, so inevitably the second volume was doomed to have no true beginning nor a satisfying finish. When I f...
