Summary: Thank you for the translation!
Comment: Not only does Thomas C. Kennedy capture the story of Beowulf with page-turning suspense and great storytelling, the words carry a continuous meter without giving in to boredom (like some translations have executed). His preface gives an interesting account of the Anglo-Saxon language, history, metaphors, linguistics, and comparisons to contemporary Fantasy, all within seven pages of interesting reading. Also, notes at the back determine certain word origins, the words best kept in a good translation. And the mead hall is given a proper name "beer hall". Let's face it, reading needs to be fun, as well as entertaining, and this translation is excellent.
