lmkennedy 's review for:

The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
5.0
adventurous challenging hopeful medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This one was better than the first for me, I found myself much more invested in the characters and what would happen to them. Partly I think because a lot of the dangers they faced was much more real this time. 

My only complaint is how the book is essentially split in two, 1/2 about Frodo and Sam and 1/2 about everyone else, I think it would’ve been more engaging had it gone back and forth but I’m sure that is a more modern thing.
