A Kid's Review

This review is from: Beowulf: Dragonslayer (Paperback)

Courageous Epic Warrior 10/21/03
The book Beowulf is a great book with action adventure (no romance). I really thought this book was good. You should read Beowulf a Dragoon Slayer. I chose this book because it sounded like an interesting book. It is special because it has old English as it's writing.
The main characters are Beowulf, Grendel, The Fire Drake, and the Sea Hag. Who is Beowulf? He is a brave hero who is very smart, and the main character. Grendel is evil and strong while his mom, the Sea Hag, is those and more. The FireDrake is a strong fire-breathing dragon. These are some of the characters from Beowulf Dragon Slayer.

The plot of the book, Beowulf, is his battles such as the epic battle against Grendel, The FireDrake, and the Sea Hag. Beowulf was old when he fought the FireDrake. It still was a good fight, one that killed Beowulf. All those incredible battles were part of the master-mined plot.
The book Beowulf is a great book that is now one of my favorites. This book is different than others because it is in old English. I recommend this book to anyone. Over all, I think this is a good book to read.
