content: The two towers is an awesome book. The fellowship has now broken into three groups, and the book follows the whereabouts and events of Merry and Pippin, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, and Frodo and Sam. Merry and Pippin have been captured by the relentless Uruk-Hai and escape into Fangorn Forest. Frodo and Sam are hopelessly trying to fufill their quest to destroy the ring with the deceitful Gollum as their guide. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are tracking the captured hobbits in Fangorn Forest when Gandalf returns to them. They all make for Edoras and heal the bewitched king Theoden. After retreating to the fortress of Helm's Deep, Aragorn leads the battle to make a final stand...This is a fantastic book that i recommend to readers ages 14 and up. There is a lot going on a one time that might be hard for younger kids to understand. I had to read the series over again to make sure i understood.
