Book Reviews of The Tower of Beowulf
Book Review: A realistic hero
Summary: 4 Stars
Taking on such an old and simple story and making it interesting to an modern audience is a hard task. Beuwulf comes across as very realistic at the same time as he battles a "troll" and a dragon while the Norse gods are lurking behind the scenes. Grendel is not a raving mad swamp troll but a thinking and emotional being.
Being Swedish and having quite a diffrent veiw of the barbaric Vikings (than in many other countrys) I find this book written by an American exiting. This is not what the old Scandinavia was like but Godwin makes it very belivable.
