The Two Towers

I read the Two Towers this six weeks it is a fantasy fiction novel. It was written by J. R. R. Tolkien and was published in 1954, it is the second book of three. The book takes place in a fantasy world known as Middle Earth. In this story you follow two different groups of people there is Frodo and Sam who were on there quest to destroy the One Ring. The other group is Aragon, Legolos, and Gimly and there journey to save there two friends Pippin and Mary who had been captured by Orcs and the Battle of Helms Deep. I think that the them of the Two Towers is the power of friendship. In the adventure all of the characters are reliant on there friends to watch their backs and to come to their aid.

The story is told from a third person point of view. I believe this because throughout the story they don't often use "you" or "I" they were only used in dialog. I  think that the audience of this book is anyone from ages fifteen and up because it has some slightly difficult vocabulary and a complex story line that may be hard for younger audiences to follow. The book kept me interested from the beginning to the end but it did get slow at some points. So if you have a short attention span i do not recommend that you read this novel but if you are determined to enjoy this book you should skip one or two pages of it gets slow.

This Novel is most certainly a fantasy novel because there are elves, orc, dwarves, and other creatures present. The entire book in general is great from the huge battles to the breath taking views that Tolkien writes of are mesmerizing. Although to read any work of Tolkien that relates to Middle Earth you will be required to have a vast imagination and a will to believe in magic.
