Beowulf is an exciting epic poem of the Anglo-Saxon period.
Despite being a very lenghty peom Beowulf appealed to me. It was an epic of Anglo-Saxon peroid which focuses on a single main character, Beowulf, who overcomes evil, Grendel. I would recommend it only to those who are into reading epic peoms.

Beowulf is confusing and difficult to follow.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beowulf (Barron's Book Notes) (Paperback)
I had to Beowulf for school OVER THE SUMMER, so I wasn't interested in the first place, but it isn't exactly enjoyable either. It is hard to follow because sentences are broken up onto different lines, historical digressions interrupt the main plot, and the characters are difficult to relate to. There is also no feeling, so it is hard to sympathize for Beowulf and his companions. This poem was meant to be told in a middle ages court, not read on a pool deck by a 16 year old in the middle of the summer. Perhaps if I was being elaborately told the epic as well I would have liked it.

I hated it. I tried to give it a chance but it was overblown and bombastic and horrible and I became apathetic very quickly.
