This book Grendel hasn't been my favorite book to read. I'm not much of a reader so it takes a lot to keep my interested, and it didn't. I'm the kind of person to like love stories to action. A lot of the time I found myself getting confused with the characters, if they were humans or just monsters. I think the author did a good job on telling Grendel's side of the story. In ways I felt sorry for Grendel because he had no friends or really anyone to talk to. His mother was there but she couldn't speek very well. I feel that he was lonely and all he wanted was to get along with the humans.
I like how the author wrote in first person. He could describe how Grendel felt, and describe his action. I think the author used irony because you could think of the humans being monsters and Grendel being the human. All he wanted what to fit in but the humans were being mean about it. The theme affected me because it doesn't really interested me in it. But the book has good qualities because it teaches you to not take things for granted. Not everyone has a perfect like. Not everyone feels needed and thats all Grendel wanted.
The authors main purpose was the tell Grendel's side of the story. I think he did well on telling the story. The only thing I don't remember was when Grendel showed emotion. He was always negative about himself and never looked positive. My overall opinion on the book was a 3 because I just wasn't interested in it. But what people could learn from the book was not to always be mean to someone that doesn't fit in. Just because someone looks different or isn't pretty enough does't mean to be not accepting to them.
