“Nutball funny . . . A ‘classic’ medieval melodrama that sounds like all the Saturday serials you ever saw feverishly reworked by the Marx Brothers.”—NewsweekA gorgeously designed limited edition of William Goldman’s beloved classic, featuring sprayed and stenciled edges, and a gold foil cover.—a tale of true love and high adventure, pirates, princesses, giants, miracles, fencing, and a frightening assortment of wild beasts that is a modern storytelling classic. A perfect gift book for those who have already fallen in love with and those still yet to discover the magic of Westley, Princess Buttercup, and their cherished crew.As Florin and Guilder teeter on the verge of war, Princess Buttercup is devastated when her one true love dies at sea. But instead of being able to grieve in peace, she finds herself kidnapped by a mercenary and his henchmen, then rescued by a pirate, then forced to marry Prince Humperdinck, and finally rescued once again by the very crew who absconded with her in the first place.In the course of this dazzling adventure, she'll meet Vizzini—the criminal philosopher who’ll do anything for a bag of gold; Fezzik—the gentle giant; Inigo—the Spaniard whose steel thirsts for revenge; and Count Rugen—the evil mastermind behind it all. Foiling all their plans is Westley, Buttercup's true love who survived after all, and became a very good friend to a very dangerous pirate.The Princess Bride was unforgettably depicted in the 1987 cult classic film directed by Rob Reiner and starring Fred Savage, Robin Wright, Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin, Wallace Shawn, Cary Elwes, and other actors.

After finding out one of my favorite movies was originally a book, this was a must read.

After having seen the movie directed by Rob Reiner so many times, I practically knew all the lines by heart, which made reading the book that much more interesting to read. It was so satisfying to see those lines from the book being used in the film. Of course based on the book, there are many parts of S. Morgensterns story that are cut out and it was interesting to read the original story. Anyone who is a fan of Westley and Buttercup’s love story must read this. (Though the film will always be my favorite.)

It didn't catch me at all. I mean it was very thoughtfully written and there were a lot of details in the sentences - with many rhymes but I didn't like the story felling with the authors constant remarks and interruptions. I know that it is supposed to be like that, but that was just the style I didn't like.
