	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| The Two Towers: Your views
		Everything about The Two Towers was incredible, from the use of CGI to the acting which has definitely been pushed up a notch since the first film.
		His two soliloquies, one at the end of the flick and the other, slightly earlier, where he "banishes" his evil self, are by themselves Oscar-worthy.
		Two Towers is just the second part of a trilogy, and I am convinced that when all three films are finally put together they will be seen as one of the all time great acheivements of cinema, every bit as important as Citizen Kane, Gone With The Wind etc. etc.

	The Two Towers (John's Book Pages) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As we might expect from the middle book in a trilogy, The Two Towers develops on plot elements introduced in the first book, and ends on a down note.
		The first part of the book has a broad scope: it's about the beginning of the War of the Ring, although it concentrates mainly on Merry and Pippin.
		The second part of the book follows Frodo, Sam, and Gollum; the latter turns out to be the most interesting of the three.

	"THE TWO TOWERS": Differences Between The Movie And The Book
		One of the main parts of the book where the effects of Merry and Pippin's new height is important is during the Scouring of the Shire, but there isn't a Scouring of the Shire in the third movie.
		After the confrontation with Saruman (in the second book), the group returns to Helm's Deep to assemble the forces of Rohan, etc. It was here that 30 of Aragorn's people, the Dunedain, met him along with the two sons of Elrond.
		In the book, the charge was at a point of desperation (just as in the movie), but the effect was much more positive in the book than in the movie.

	The Encyclopedia of Arda: A Movie-goer's Guide to the Two Towers
		In one of the earliest scenes of the movie, Saruman identifies them as his own tower of Orthanc at Isengard, and Sauron's Dark Tower of Barad-dûr, and this is in fact one of the many combinations that Tolkien suggested himself.
		Tolkien's original was literally divided into two books: the first tells us the complete story of Aragorn's adventures in Rohan and the overthrow of Isengard, and then the second returns to Frodo and Sam, and concentrates on their journey through the borderlands of Mordor.
		In the book, he is one of the key characters - after King Théoden is healed by Gandalf, he is made heir to the kingdom of Rohan, and remains with Théoden from then on, fighting beside Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli in the defence of Helm's Deep.

	Zap2it.com - Movie review - The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers
		The second book of the J.R.R. Tolkein series is far more exciting than the first or third books, so the expectation has been for the film to be full of action.
		Senseless rampaging of innocent people in villages, callous murderers and the appearance of two towers all seem to be a representation of our 21st Century history.
		Meanwhile, the two captured hobbits make their escape from the Orcs and land in a lair of Ents, who are giant tree-like creatures.

	TOLKIEN'S THE TWO TOWERS - BOOK HELP WEB
		It was to the library for J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Two Towers and Return of the King (we had managed to save the first in the trilogy--Fellowship of the Ring from our basement flood last summer).
		Whereas the first book in the series gave the background of the ring and the formation of the company that would accompany the Ring-Bearer on his quest, the second book begins with the parting of the company.
		I think I would have enjoyed the second half of the book if it had been condensed into three chapters: One on the meeting with Smeagol, one on the meeting with Faramir and the other with the final encounter before the book ends.

	The Barrow-Downs: The Two Towers, Book IV, Chapter 5
		Sam awakens to find that the two or three hundred victorious survivors of the ambush are sitting in a wide semicircle nearby around Faramir and Frodo, who seems to be on trial.
		Faramir tells Sam that if he were as hasty as the young halfling, they'd be dead already, for the law called for all trespassers in that land to be slain.
		He tells the tale of how his brother's death came to be known, for the elven boat of Lothlorien carried his body down the Anduin and of how the horn of Boromir lies now in two pieces on the lap of their father, Denethor, Steward of Gondor.

		I can’t believe someone would protest over a simple name like the “Two Towers.” The book was written a long time before sep 11 and the title is crucial to the movie.
		The two towers are the towers of sauron and sauruman.
		I wish to start a campaign to change the name of the World Trade Centre towers, due to their unfair association with the book and film the Two Towers by JRR Tolkien.

	The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
		Two Towers is just as long and is gorged with peril and violence from the start.
		Most important, Towers has the first full appearance of Gollum, the bony, pathetic creature who once owned the dreaded ring and is obsessively drawn to it.
		Otherwise, Towers is fiercely focused on a desperate fight for human survival.

	The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien, classic fantasy book
		But the DVD says that Tolkien never really committed, and which two towers the title refers to is really up for grabs.
		The middle volume of a trilogy is generally suspect, and I know some find The Two Towers the weakest part of The Lord of the Rings, but it's my personal favorite of the three books.
		I also have a special fondness for The Two Towers because it is here that Sam emerges as (to me) the true hero of the story.

	The Two Towers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien wrote, "The Two Towers gets as near as possible to finding a title to cover the widely divergent Books 3 and 4; and can be left ambiguous".
		Loosely, any pair from a set of five towers in the story could plausibly fit the title: Cirith Ungol, Orthanc, Minas Tirith, Barad-dûr, and Minas Morgul.
		This is characteristic of the technical classification Novel sequence, not a Book series.

		Welcome to The Turn of the Tide, the only TFL approved fanlisting for the book and movie The Two Towers, from The Lord of the Rings series, written by J.R.R. Tolkein.
		The Two Towers is my favourite book and movie in the series - the book is divided into two parts - one which tells the story of Frodo, Sam and Gollum, and the other focuses on the rest of the characters - but in the movie these two stories are intertwined.
		The book part was adopted from Caroline and Lena in July 2005, and the movie part was adopted from Loren February 2006.

	SparkNotes: The Two Towers: Book IV, Chapter 1
		As we have seen frequently, the hobbits are not epic heroes who have great powers at their disposal to solve their dilemmas.
		Indeed, in virtually all of the hobbits’ dilemmas in The Two Towers, the hobbits depend on something stronger than themselves to extricate them from their problems.
		Pippin profits from the fortunate fall of an Orc knife near his hand bindings in Book III, much as Frodo and Sam profit from the magic rope woven by Elves to lower themselves down the cliff in Book IV.

		Gollum leads them to a hollow on the edge of the Ephel Duath, a mere furlong from one of the two towers known as of the Teeth of Mordor, and within sight of the stone rampart built across the Haunted Pass and the Morranon, the fl gate of Sauron's land.
		Frodo tells the creature that the Ring will hold him to his promis but that "..it will seek a way to twist it to your undoing." Sam watches in wonder at Frodo's strong demeanor in dealing with Gollum in the matter of the Ring.
		Gollum tells them that there is a way, a little path up the mountains, past the tower of Minas Ithil.

		Unlike "The Fellowship of the Ring," Tolkien's first installment, which at times was compelled to slow to a snail's pace to patiently set up the story, THE TWO TOWERS moves the reader along at a rapid clip, from the first page to the last.
		The illumination and discussions of their doubts, fears, and modest desires against the spectacular backdrop of millennial conflict is so understated, that the two hobbits actually bring a sense of prosaic normalcy to Tolkien's epic fantasy.
		In both cases, throughout "The Two Towers," Tolkien continually privileges the individual over the national, an approach which forces war and conflict to appear as it should, as an unnatural and horrific evil in the world.

	The "Two Towers" - Book question [Archive] - The Coming Soon! Boards
		However, when I read the book I was given the distinct impression that The "Two Towers" referred to Minas Arnor/Tirith and Minas Ithil/Morgul.
		SO, as you can see, the "Two Towers" for the book were actually the Towers of Teeth that men built and Sauron over-took, and is no standing as the Black Gate of Mordor.
		ACTUALLY (and prepares his victory dance) the only time the words "two towers" appears as a title is in the chapter "The Black Gate is Closed".

		Now and again it lifted its head slowly, turning it right back on its long skinny neck, and the hobbits caught a glimpse of two small pale gleaming lights, its eyes that blinked at the moon for a moment and then were quickly lidded again.
		The true difference between a children's book and an adult book isn't in the story, but in the way it is written.
		Instead, other books hold that place in my memory and I had to wait a few years to allow LOTR to become the pivotal book of my teenage years and my favorite book ever since.

	Weblog Entry - 2001 May 29: "Two Towers: BOOK IV - Chapter 8"
		Fatwilbur, I think it is true that the ring has certainly corrupted Gollum and made him more pitiable than at first glance, but it seems to me that when he killed Deagol for the ring, he was still acting primarily of his own accord.
		I've always thought that maybe it reminds him of his own friendship with Deagol (I forget if Deagol was his friend or a relative) and echoes of the closeness between them before the terrible end their friendship came to because of the corruption of the Ring.
		I think the passage when the hobbits see Minas Morgul and the fields of white flowers in front of it is one of the most evocative and perversely enthralling of the book - the idea that _this_ is what's in stall for Middle Earth if Sauron triumphs; not death, but corruption and coldness and despair.
