The Tower of Beowulf by Parke Godwin

The Tower of Beowulf by Parke Godwin, was over all a good book; however because of the style of writing it made it a little bit hard of a read. Throughout the book, Beowulf goes through a series of different battles and adventures that include monsters, dragons, and moral dilemmas. Beowulf becomes a role model to many young boys, by showing them that they can accomplish great things as long as they have the will power to stay strong physically and mentally. There are many messages throughout the story such as honor over greed and loyalty to your fellow man. Beowulf goes into battles with the mentality of fighting for honor and not just for the profit and the glory; he would die honorably rather than letting his people down, which makes every battle a seat clincher. The tower of Beowulf is a great book choice for people who enjoy reading about barbarians, Vikings, and dragon slayings. - Alex K. and Brooke H., class of 2012
