The Two Towers

Hello this is a review of the second lord of the rings book.  Each lord of the rings book has two books inside it.

Part 1: Frodo and Sam have just left the fellowship to go to Mordor alone.  Meanwhile the fellowship is atacked by trolls.  Aragorn finds Boromir slain and discovers that Pippin and Merry have been kidnapped.  Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli bury Boromir and then follow the trail of the orcs.  they find a wall and find out that they are at Rohan and meet King Theoden.  Meanwhile Pippin and Merry escape and meet up with an Ent and stay there for awhile.  Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli leave Rohan and meet with Gandalf who somehow survived the battle in Moria.  They then meet up with Merry and Pippin.  they all start to return to Rohan but Gandalf and Pippin head to Minas Tirith.


Part 2: Frodo and Sam are heading twords Mordor and run into Gollum who wants the ring.  Frodo and Sam force Gollum to help them and they keep moving.  Once the are out of the desert they eat and drink well in a swamp.  They then meet with Farimir, Boromir's brother.  Gollum tries to eat fish from a sacred lake and almost gets killed.  Once they get to the bottom of Mordor they go into a cave entrance.  In the cave Gollum betrays then and they get attacked by a giant spider.  Gollum dies and the spider goes back into its nest.  Sam thinks Frodo is dead and takes the ring.  He decides he can't do it and returns to find out Frodo is alive but captured.

I give this book 4☆s.

This book was better then the last because it has more fighting.  In the first half of the book it starts to bloody.

My next review will be of the last book.

The Fudge series

This is a review of the whole Fudge series.  My brother is doing a review of them, too.  This is Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing through Double Fudge.  I'm going to mark where each book starts.

Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing: The book starts with Peter (the main character) winning a pet turtle at his friend Jimmy's birthday party.  When he is walking home, which is two apartments down the hall, he names the turtle Dribble.  Every chapter is another adventure focusing on Peter, Fudge (Peter's younger brother), Jimmy and Sheila (Peter's rival).  In the last chapter, Fudge swallows Dribble and Dribble dies.  Peter's mom and dad feel sorry for him and buy him a dog, which Peter names Turtle.

I give this book 3☆s.

My review is that the book seems too much like a set up even though there were no planned sequels.

Superfudge: The book starts with Peter's mom and dad announcing that they are having a baby.  Peter is so mad he starts to run away but decides to stay until the baby is born.  A few chapters later the baby is born, her name is Tamara Roxanne but everyone calls her Tootsie.  Then they decide to move to Princeton, New Jersey for a year.  Peter and Jimmy get into a fight about the whole thing but then they make up.  Once they are in New Jersey both Peter and Fudge make new friends. Peter meets a kid named Alex and Fudge meets a kid named Daniel, who is a real jerk.  There are many stories including Jimmy visting and the last chapter in which Fudge and Daniel ride there bikes on the highway and go to the deli and bakery. In the end Tootsie learns to say yuck and when the dad asks if Tootsie wants to move back to New York they think her yuck means York and they move back.

I give this book 4☆s.

My review is that it is different from the last in a good way.  For example,

Fudge-A-Mania: This book starts with Peter's mom and dad saying that for vacation they are going to rent a house in Maine for 2 weeks with grandma. Maine was also where Sheila's family was going to.  Peter's mom tells him he can bring a friend so Peter calls Jimmy, Jimmy says he can go for the second week.  Once up in Maine they find out that they are sharing the Tubman's house to which Peter is horrified.  Peter and Fudge meet a kid named Mitzi and her grandma, Fudge and Mitzi become fast friends and Peter finds out that her grandpa was a major league baseball player, and that on Sundays he plays ball at the field.  Peter develops a crush on the part time librarian Isobel and Grandma and Buzzy senior (Sheila's grandpa) fall in love.  Halfway through the book Jimmy and his dad come and the Grandma and Buzzy senior's wedding is announced.  During the ball game Grandma throws Peter out to win the game.  After the wedding Peter and Sheila agree that even if they are step-cousins they will always hate each other.

I give this book 5☆s.

My review is that the wedding felt rushed.

Double Fudge: The book starts with Fudge being addicted to money. He makes his own money called Fudge Bucks and tries to buy stuff with it.  After a tantrum in the shoe store they go to Washigton DC.  After going on a tour of the money making process they go to the gift shop.  In the gift shop they meet dad's long lost cousin Howie.  Howie calls dad Tubby and has a wife and 3 kids.  His twin daughters Flora and Fauna are 12 and his 3 and a half year old son's name is Farley Drexel, which is Fudge's name. Howie says that they are on a trip around the country and that in 2 weeks they will be going to the city. Dad invites them to stay with them.  When the Howies (that's what they are called in the book) are staying with them there are many adventures including a Halloween mishap. In the last chapter Mini Fudge swallows Fudge's tooth and the Howies leave.

I give this book 3☆

My review is that  it ends with a proper ending to a series.

There is a Double Fudge website.

Next time  I am reviewing The Lord Of The Rings

The Fellowship Of The Ring

This is a review of The Fellowship Of The Ring which is the first book in the Lord Of The Rings series.

The book starts with the explanation of what happened at the end of The Hobbit.  Bilbo Baggins is now 110 years old and will be turning 111 in a couple of days (111 is a very special age for hobbits).  His nephew Frodo who lives with him has the same birthday as Bilbo and is turning 33 (another special age for hobbits).  At their birthday party Bilbo uses the One Ring to disappear and sneak into his house.  In his house he meets with Gandalf The Grey and leaves the One Ring behind for Frodo.  Gandalf gives Frodo the One Ring and then leaves.  About 17 years later Gandalf returns and Frodo leaves on an adventure to Mt. Mordor to destroy the One Ring...

Members of the fellowship
1 Frodo the Hobbit
2 Sam the Hobbit
3 Pippen the Hobbit
4 Merry the Hobbit
5 Aragon the Man
6 Boromer the Man
7 Legolas the Elf
8 Gimli the Dwarf

I give this book 4☆s

My review is that there's too much walking and way too much talking, I hear that the other 2 are more about fighting, I hope that's right.
