Andrew proclaims these past two chapters his most exciting reading experience ever. Patrick is delighted at how the fight with Shelob glorifies all of Sam’s Samness. Andrew follows the track that leads from Sam’s despair through a mystical experience back to being himself again. They follow Sam from passion for revenge and thoughts of suicide back to clarity about what he must do - and the turn that follows after.
