Readers of Beowulf who assume that Grendel was simply a monster that killed people just did not know him very well. Telling his side of the conflict with Beowulf, Grendel comes across as oddly intellectual, witty, and somewhat unjustly vilified. A reviewer in the Christian Science Monitor says of the book, "It deserves a place on the same shelf as Lord of the Flies and...Catcher in the Rye."
