25. The Two Towers

by J.R.R. Tolkien (pp 403-725)

Again, better than I remember it being. I didn't get stuck in it nearly as badly as I did Fellowship. The bits that slowed me down were the long tedious journey of Sam and Frodo towards Mount Doom. Which if you think about it are fairly appropriate for the action. All the same, the brain starts to feel a bit dusty after a while. The march of the Ents as told by Merry and Pipin was fantastic.
