Beowulf

+ Classic
+ Far better than the movie ....

Excellent poem. It transmits through words very pure feelings and attitudes of men and societies already forgotten.

I wish there were more than just the trilogy

+ Did she fall off the face of the earth?
+ Wanted More

I enjoyed this triology of books immensely. I wish she would have written more than just the three. It was great to see what happened to all the characters you feel you know so well.

Beowulf & Grendel191 reviews
Hringur Ingvarsson, Spencer Wilding

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2006

Well done adaptation of classic to film

+ Wow

Oral poems like Beowulf are extremely difficult to convert to dramatic media (plays, film, etc) because the plot is not arranged how we tend to expect (think boxes in boxes instead of the Freytag's Pyramid). Additionally, oral poems tend to feature flat but mythic characters (the strong Beowulf or ...

Book Review: Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman

+ What more can be said

Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors is a collection of his short stories and poems. Like his other short story/poem collection titled Fragile Things, this book too has an introduction with commentary of each of the stories and poems contained within. For me, this introduction is the best part of the ...

Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)2693 reviews
Christopher Paolini

Laurel Leaf, 2006

A wonderful book to hear

+ One of the Best Reads Since Dracula

I enjoyed listening to this book as I worked. The writing is descriptive and allows you to lose yourself in the story. After watching the movie, I recommend listening to these unabridged cds. The reader has a wonderful, clear voice that gives life to all the books characters.
