Starting Friday we will be reading the epic poem Beowulf. I have seen the movie and liked it alot, however, I have never read a book that wasn't better than the movie version. I'll like this book I already know. Also, from what I've heard, the book is actually way different in certain main points of the plot than the movie... which I can't elaborate on without spoiling it.
