I was the opposite with those two. I didnt like Beowolf (It wasnt actually a book though was it? wasnt it an epic poem? which means it would be italicized instead of underlined? XP I dont remember it was a few years back XD)
He was just to haughty and full of himself. I liked Grendel. You could relate to him. He was kinda shy and alone and just wanted to be loved. Like most high school students. He was just trying to find his place in the world (which apparently didnt exist ): ) Beowolf just pissed me off D:<
