    This book is my least favourite of the trilogy. Even though its well written and at times well paced and interesting I find because it has no beginning and no end it can be an extremely difficult book to get through.
    The first part when we are following Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli is by far much more exciting and easier to read than the second part concerning Frodo and Sams journey. The second part is so repetitive and drags on and on. Can Frodo bear the ring? Will it become too much of a burden? Will he give up? Blah blah blah... I love Sam however who is a much more entertaining character than Frodo and provides the much needed light entertainment in the final part of this book.
    A good book, but to me never matchs up to the worlds and people created in the first book.

  • The pace is definitely a lot faster than the first one, which makes it an easier read.

    I felt Jackson's treatment of the order of events for the movie was much better than this book - talking about the battle at Helm's Deep in the beginning was a tad bit strange.

  • Amazing

  • I finally had a chance to read this amazing book in its original language when I was back in Wales. I absolutely loved it even more. I cannot recommend it enough to all kinds of readers - just give it a try. If so many people love it there must be a good reason.

  • I think this was a little bit more challenging to read. I look forward to the next one.

The second volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, now featuring film art on the cover. Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin -- alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
