Once again, I had trouble separating the book from the movie. And I think in this case, I preferred the movie version of The Two Towers to the book version. This was certainly a fun read and had lots of adventure...up until we get to Sam and Frodo. Their adventure was a lot of walking and occasional struggle. I got kind of bored with the last section of the book and was hoping for more Gimli/Aragorn/Legolas excitement. I know there is lots of excitement in the last book so I'm looking forward to getting into that. (Side note- the second movie is my favorite of the three movies, it was weird to not similarly love this book as much!)
