A review by raediance04
Grendel by John Gardner

3.0

The book was thought provoking. It makes us think about who we alienate as monsters in society. The novel causes us to look into ourselves to understand why we instill fear in certain people and creatures. Very interesting but the writing was a little dry and hard to read. I would recommend to someone who like Beowulf and wanted a new perspective, but if you are curious about monster culture, there are better novels and articles that exist.
