Book Review of The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride
reviewed on


In my 20's this was one of my favorite books. (Similiar to the movie - but more satirical and cynical). This is an abridgement of that book - and leaves a lot out. If you've just seen the movie, it might be enjoyable (but certain key lines (like "Anyone want a peanut" aren't there). To really appreciate the book as written - it's not a good way to go. But, still got me through a 3 hour drive in tact.
