The standard hardcover edition of the second volume of The Lord of the Rings includes a large format fold-out map. Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin -- alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

评分没有任何一本书读的这么艰难 (特指Frodo Sam and Gollum那段旅程) 每次翻开书 一下就被带进那个无望绝望的世界 读几页就读不下去了 可是过几天又忍不住再翻开 一本书的最后这一小部分就碾磨似得读了许久 读过这一段文字 我更加喜欢Sam 这样放低自己甘为护卫者的人却在绝境面前...
评分第一部看的原版,觉得书和电影有着不一样的风格,节奏不温不火,但是引人入胜,情节慢慢展开,如同抽丝剥茧,感觉相当好。 第二部看的就是这本,翻译得实在很烂。觉得译者一定是比我大上十岁,没有用心翻译,而且对奇幻作品一定没什么感觉。名字翻译比较怪异我也忍了,人名不...
