About this listen
The complete, unabridged audiobook of The Two Towers.
Building on the story begun in The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, this is the second part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, available as a complete and unabridged audiobook.
Frodo and the 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 the battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros, 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 were attacked by Orcs.
Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin – alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

What an epic
I'm about to read the final in the trilogy having so far cramming this and the first part back to back (as it were).
The other day, I discovered something quite shocking when I watched the Peter Jackson film of the same name. Before I started these books I loved the films, every single one - quite prepared to row with my grown up children when they borrowed the (extended) dvds without asking.
I'm sorry Pete but I can't watch them now, without misgivings, the books have thoroughly spoiled me. Extended box sets - bah!! A lot of actors flashing pleasing faces and big, doleful eyes at you. Pah!
...Okay, the wargs are slavering and wicked scary and the olyphants are dazzling, prehistoric looking beasts! Not to mention I would do anything to fly on a giant eagle and give Shadowfax a sugar lump - I still love your animals, my man and your fighting uruk hai!
Oh, but give me sweet, tender, loyal Sam and stinking, clammy, malevolent Gollum and a terrain that I have walked barefoot in alongside Frodo (bearing that burden) any day.

Evocative and gripping!
The characters are brought to life in this reading, their moods and the tone of their voices, their fears and triumphs. The account takes the listener through many adventures. We encounter a wild landscape and many friends and foes in our long journey, through a series of mini episodes. There is good, and bad, and evil and much magic. There are wonderful imaginings, trees that walk, Ents, and slithery beasts. Then we are left at the end of this book as if on the edge of a cliff.....desperate to hear the next episode.

A classic
Having read the book myself over 20 times I was pleasantly surprised to find the narrator's characterisation was similar to how I had imagined the characters to be

Great Story.
Sweeping epic, but a very human level story despite many of the characters perhaps not strictly being human.
In this middle book of the trilogy the large scale confrontations really start to happen.

nice bit of walking with the ol' Hobbitsis.
better than reading it yourself. and Rob Inglis does an excellent job of maintaining characterisations to keep you in the story.
