All right I’ll tell you of the The Two Towers book. This is the second book in the trilogy. This is the book that really gets the action rolling. This book is divided into two parts, the first following the remnants of the Fellowship; Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn, Merry, and Pippin in their adventures. And the second part following the two Hobbits who struck out on their own; Frodo, and Sam, in their adventures. In the first part, Merry and Pippin are captured by the very Orcs who had killed Boromir, and are carried away captive in the direction of Isengard, these Orcs' headquarters, the home base of Saruman, a corrupted Wizard. Fortuanatly on the way they are able to escape. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas chase after the Orcs that have carried the Hobbits away. Along the way they meet the Riders of Rohan, led by Eomer. The Hobbits meanwhile meet in the forest that they escape into an Ent named Fangorn who after learning their story, calls an Ent assembly, to crush Saruman, who has been treating them and their Forest cruelly. The three companions searching for the Hobbits in the forest find Gandalf, “reborn”, now Gandalf the White. Later after Gandalf led them to the King Theoden and exposes Wormtongue, the King's advisor, as a spy for Saruman. They head to Isengard and are surprised to find it nearly all destroyed, except for Orthanc the Tower, and Merry and Pippen sitting there waiting for them. Wormtongue is in the tower with Saruman. Wormtongue tries to kill Gandalf by throwing something at him, however he misses. What he threw was a “seeing stone” a Palantir, which is a very important thing, (READ THE BOOKS IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!) Meanwhile Frodo and Sam meet Gollum, “tame” him and force him to lead them to Mordor. When they got there they see the impregnable gate into Mordor, and Gollum tells them of another way. Along the way they meet Faramir, Bother of Boromir. Gollum leads the Hobbits up a path into Mordor, where Shelob, the First Spider lives, she is HUGE! (A lot like Aragog in Harry Potter, only more..uh..badder? Let's just say that J.K. Rawlings got her idea from Shelob and dumbed,and watered it down into Aragog in order to not scare any young children.) She stings Frodo, Sam wounds her, and she flees. Sam thinks that Frodo is dead and so takes upon himself the burden of the Ring. Orcs find Frodo and carry him away to search for the Ring. Sam follows. A door gets slammed in his face, separating them, and Sam hears through it that Shelob likes her prey alive, which meant that Frodo was still alive. Sam feels horrible, and scared. I like this book a lot, and I think this book is only second to The Return of the King READ IT!!! PLEASE? Pretty please? You'll enjoy it.
