The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure by William Goldman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
After reading Goldman's introduction, I'm very glad he abridged the original novel. I kept picturing Cary Elwes and Robin Wright-Penn (I guess just Robin Wright now) delivering the lines - which, honestly, made it better. The book is funny and clever, but the movie has more charm and charisma. Maybe it's because I saw the movie before having read the book, but I think the movies better (such a classic!)
