A review by hstapp
Edda by Snorri Sturluson

3.0

This book, is one of the craziest things I've had to rate, as far as form goes. The first section of the book, after the prologue is a summarized telling of the entire history of the Norse pantheon of Gods. The middle section, tells of the use of Kennings, through the use of interesting bibbits. The last section, is an in depth telling of all the norse poetry forms. The first two sections can be quite entertaining, and the last two sections are quite useful if you want to write poetry. The history is interesting, but the best section is the section of kennings. The last section is quite dull, and should not be read in full, but scanned and referenced to in the instance of writing a particular form.
