Grendel

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.

It didn't seem linear. A lot was difficult to understand. Additionally the style of writing wasn't consistent :/ but two stars because there were some parts of beautiful description, and a few moments where I could identify and sympathize with Grendel.
Perhaps if this was part of my academic reading (high school/college) then I could fumble to more of an understanding. But instead I am left with a book that reminds me of a vague ‘Catcher in the Rye' mixed with ‘The Grinch who Stole Christmas'. I'm an anst-filled outsider who questions life/society but does little that differs from my routine despite my existential crises – also I had a confusing conversation with a dragon I'll only ever encounter once.
