Two Towers

Another great book from the Lord of The Rings book, this had much more action and continued on with the splitting of the fellowship and the death of a member, in the beginning we Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn setting out to find the group of Orcs that had killed another member, I don't want to give it away, but they take Merry and Pippin.  There a great battle between a group of Riders from Rohan, which kill all of the Orcs, after herring this Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn come to the battle sight and find tracks leading into Fanghorn.  A old forest, "one of the last remnants of the forest from the days of the Elves when Man slept." I would definitely preserver through the Fellowship to get to the last two books because they are totally worth it.
