Eaters of the Dead - reading

In the midst of NaNoWriMo, I was able to finish Eaters of the Dead. That sounds remarkable except that it took me a long time to read this book. That wasn't because the book was bad, but it wasn't entirely compelling to finish.

Ultimately I thought it was good. It's based on Beowulf more than anything else, though there are references and footnotes throughout, and the list of sources at the end includes Lovecraft's Necronomicon. Pretty authentic!
