Book Review of Beowulf
Translated and with an Introduction by Burton Raffel an epic tale called Beowulf, which was released in 1963 the earliest of poems in the modern European language.
Beowulf an epic tale is the story of a true hero containing all the fighting and suspense a reader could ask for. Mainly this story is about an ultimate hero by the name of Beowulf who is sent off to an unknown land to fight its monsters. The hero will face many obstacles in his pursuit to avoid blood shed, but at the same time conquer with victory.
What I enjoyed about the book is the fact that it kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time because of the intense action and suspense. The only thing I disliked about the book was that it was a very hard book to read. By that I mean you really had to pay attention to what was going on or you would be completely lost, mainly because of the wording in the book which was during the Anglo – Saxon time period.
I would definitely recommend this book to the audience who really enjoys suspense and action. Those who are not so much into that, or who have trouble following what is going on, I recommend that you choose another book for yourself to read.
