Interesting! Much more interesting than Beowulf. Like if Camus wrote Beowulf. But also if Camus had some odd usage of dialogue and a strong(er) attachment to image. This made me feel misanthropic, which I think was the point? Really well done--I'll revisit once we discuss in class.

Read this for AP English my senior year. I didn't like it. I don't know why. It didn't interest me. I found it very weird and was not entertained by any of the story.

Lyrical and an interesting retelling of Beowulf. I vaguely remember Sean talking about it? Very good. Nice that most of the book was set before the arrival of the big man
