bhaines 's review for:

Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics by J.R.R. Tolkien

---

I don't really remember it. But I remember it made me want to read Beowulf. I felt reading it that I completely understood what he wanted to accomplish with Lord of the Rings, and in general what might motivate someone to write a fantasy story at all. 

Will re-read if I ever finish lotr.
