The Princess Bride by William GoldmanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was a bit disappointed with this. Goldman tells the story of Buttercup and Westley through the story of a fictional version of himself searching for this book The Princess Bride that his father read to him as a child. His father read only the good bits of the book to him and he says that is what he has presented us with. It's an interesting way to tell a story (inception style) but I didn't like Goldman's character or his constant interruptions. I like how it's done in the movie with the young boy reacting to the story his grandfather is reading him but Goldman's comments annoy me. Other than that the story is very enjoyable and a lot of fun to read.
The movie is better though.
