Second half of The Two Towers. :P There are two books in each volume... in the Two Towers each book focuses on different characters. Frodo and Sam get their turn in the second book. So yes... second half of Two Towers. :P Yes. (I wasn't correcting, merely expanding. :3) Oh. This is the biggest quote chain on my messagewall. Nothing compared to the ones in the MBs. Yet.. Those things are huge. Once you and U made one that spread into the grey area. No joke. That was awesome. Going to read some of the book at school. For some reason, I read there more comfortably. At least for this book. Okay. Well, almost done Book 3 now. It's so exciting! Book 3. Book 2 and 5 are the best, IMO. There's only three books in LotR. No, it's a single work, divided into three volumes: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. A lot of people mistake these volumes for "books." But no, there are two actual "books" in each volume, and they comprise about half of each volume.

So, it's a single work, divided into 3 volumes, which are each divided into two books.

This is why it's incorrect to call The Lord of the Rings a "trilogy" or a "series." It's a single work.
