The Two Towers

I just finished reading "The Two Towers". Awesome stuff. Tolkien's writings and descriptions are so convincing. He is again at his poetic best while describing "Ithilien" the garden of Gondor,the dwelling of men.
In two towers Aragorn,legolas,gimli go after orcs to rescue merry,pippin. Merry,pippin venture into Fangorn forest.Frodo and Sam pass through dead marshes,find the secret entrance "cirith ungol",climb cirith ungol.
