I've found this audio version with Sir. Ian McKellen's voice and it was just brilliant!

I should have known that I would love this, especially because I think that Beowulf is one of the best books that I ever had to read for school. Why haven’t I read these earlier?

Not sure poetry/epic poetry is my thing - but I enjoyed the subject matter.

I take this as a story of the entertainer speaking Truth to Power. Gawain is far too eager to (he thinks) take a life, as probably were most of the powerful knights hearing this story. The moment he discovers his life is in danger instead must have been a harrowing time for the knights. Then too is discussed the topic of taking advantage of women. Even if all turns out all right in the end (probably necessary to permit the story to be re-told) that harrowing feeling must have lingered and given pause.

What a wonderfully classic story! Sits next to Beowulf on my bookshelf; it deserves the place.

I read this book for my senior seminar. This story gave look into Sir Gawain and tests that faced against the Green knight as well as Bertilak.
