In celebration of The Hobbit's fiftieth anniversary, the authoritative edition of its stirring sequel, The Lord of the Rings, is elegantly presented in hardcover, uniform edition. In the First Part of The Lord of the Rings, 111-year-old Bilbo Baggins (hero of The Hobbit) passed along his magical ring to his orphaned nephew, Frodo - unwittingly setting its original owner, the horrible Gollum, on his trail. Lest the ring fall into evil hands, Frodo sought to destroy it at the Mountain of Fire in the enemy land of Mordor. He convened the Companions of the Ring to carry out this perilous mission, but his brave band has been scattered, beset by orc-soldiers, and in the Second Part, as "the great Darkness" descends, Frodo himself has mysteriously disappeared.

like legit somehow the pacing in this was both better and worse than the last one but "dont go where i can't follow" has, in fact, murdered me where i sit,
Would have been 5 stars but I'm not a fan of the Sam and Frodo half of this book.
Two Towers is my favorite Lord of the Rings book because I love the Ents.
