The first and most terrifying monster in English literature, from the great early epic Beowulf, tells his own side of the story in this frequently banned book. This classic and much lauded retelling of Beowulf follows the monster Grendel as he learns about humans and fights the war at the center of the Anglo Saxon classic epic. This is the book William Gass called “one of the finest of our contemporary fictions.”

Monster with deep thoughts
when he's not talking nonsense
he's biting off heads.
This book was interesting, and I don't think I got a chance to give it the attention it deserves. I had to read it for school in a limited time, so I never got a chance to really reflect on what I was reading. I would think, “that was interesting...” but then rush on to the next chapter. I will reread eventually.
