So much fun, its better not to be in on the joke - [20 Dec 2009]
In way, this book reminds me of Lolita. Certainly not in prose or in brilliance, but in the way you become more and more convinced as it goes on that the narrator is completely insane. Theres almost nothing, in terms of story, that isnt in the movie, ...

Morgenstern is not real - [06 Nov 2009]

after all the wait...the movie was better - [12 Aug 2009]
For the first time ever, I feel the movie was better. The author interrupts constantly with comments that bring you out of the story and it is not as "charming" as it plays out on the screen. Did not make it till the end--despite that this movie was a...

Definitely a "must read" - [10 Jul 2009]
If you've seen the movie, then this book is great. If you haven't seen the movie? This book is still great. The book and movie are near perfectly matched. Read it.

Princess Bride - Greatest Book of all time - [17 Jun 2009]
Many people have seen and loved the movie. I reached adulthood before I discovered the book, which is even better. Goldman has so many levels of humor intertwined, and is so clever, the book is hard to put down. A must read!

Fantasy and fun - [17 Jun 2009]
The film the Princess Bride was my introduction to S. Morgenstern's true story of love and high adventure. Now, 25 years later, I have finally read the book. William Goldman does an excellent job of editing out the dry exposition about trees and musty...
