Comment on I really thought I'd learn more about towers from a book that's about two of them.

Wait until you hear about 12 monkeys. That’s a lot of monkeys, right?

Offtopic: But 12 Monkeys is a fun TV show to watch about time-travel. (Not to be confused with the movie, that one is boring)

The movie has slow pacing and odd structure, but it explores some interesting ideas. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think it’s was ok. Still not a classic you would watch several times.

My least favorite book of the three.
Between 12 and about 24, I read the entire quad every summer. Religiously. I always dreaded coming to The Two Towers; it felt like such a slog, and I don’t think jumping between parallel story lines was Tolkien’s forté. Return of the King got better as everyone (well, except the Ring Bearer) started gathering together again and there were fewer threads.
IMHO.

I’ve always found it really jarring when a book, tv series or a movie jumps around between several storylines. Pulling that off seems to be really hard.

I’ve watched it once. And my thought afterwards was, “hmm, interesting.”
We just watched the film Conclave a few nights ago (after the popes death, it was planned though) and I thought basically the same thing, “hmm, not exciting but interesting.” And I doubt I’ll watch that again, if I do it’ll be in a long long time.
