Post from the The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings, #2) forum
... I'm a bit amazed at how bad writing can make such an interesting plot line that boring. so much of this book is hearing about action in a flat monologue after the fact instead of (1) being in the action or (2) hearing about it in a compelling conversation. it often reads like a rough draft with placeholder text. the writing in the first two books is much more dynamic but this one is an absolute slog. not sure how I finished it the first time and even Andy Serkis can't breathe enough life into this drab writing to keep my attention.
