I received this for one of my birthdays. It was the perfect gift for the history geek that I am.

A dragon, a brave man, and a hairy arm as a trophy. What more could you ask for?

Assumed to have been created between 500-600 AD. The longest poem written in the English language. A masterpiece.

I got so fed up with the stupid random acts of heroism that didn't make any sense to the new age person that I just put it down and stopped reading it. I'll pick it back up when my brain can handle more stupidity. Total Monty Python.

Was a disappointing read. Had heard good things about it but it just wasn't that engaging.

I was actually captivated by this poem! The critics were right--Seamus Heaney not only beautifully translated a masterpiece, but he also created his own original masterpiece. I also love the descriptive language and creative alliterations. Despite the fact that I think Beowulf's extermination of Grendel was described so quickly and with a lack of detail. Other than that, I LOVED.
