So I know that you are supposed to read the book before watching the movie, but I didn't. I absolutely loved the movie with Johnny Depp, so I eagerly raced to my nearest copy of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I was sorely disappointed. The movie is by far superior. Of course, I am not a big poetry fan, so that fact that every character spouted poetry was a big minus for the book. It was on ok read, but not brilliant.
What a splendid effort! What a truly wonderful thing to do, telling the tale of Beowolf from the monster's point of view! And what a monster. You'd be grumpy too if you had his life. A huge hurrah for Gardner. A triumph of a tale.
