There are not many books where the author has a main character that you absolutely despise and yet feel quite sorry for, but "Grendel" is definitely one of those books. Set in Denmark thousands of years ago, "Grendel" tells the same...

- Wish I had liked this one.
I was so excited when I saw this book at the library. I thought the concept of the story seen from Grendel's eyes was a fascinating one. But, I was unable to get into the story after 2 chapters. I'm not sure why, but the author was...
