The Princess Bride: of true love and high adventure

by   redwolfoz ,  Nov 6, 2000
Pros: A charming tale for children, a clever story for adults
Cons: It ends
Review: I guess most of us have seen the film version of The Princess Bride, it is a timeless classic and a surprisingly good adaptation of the book. The casting is superb and reading the book only underlines this point, as I found it difficult to see the...

The Princess Bride: My grandfather even loved it in 1920

by   puckmugger ,  Jun 2, 2004
Pros: Creative, funny read with great characters and lots of plot twists
Cons: Some inconsistencies, but only mildly annoying in a comical book
The Bottom Line: You must read this or at least see the movie or your life will be less complete.
Review: My grandfather was an immigrant from Florin who, like most natives of Florin, was very proud of his heritage. S. Morgenstern was, in his eyes a national hero for preserving the history of his homeland so perfectly. It was perhaps fortunate that he passed ...

The Princess Bride- Read it or not- “As…you…wiiiiiiiiiiish"

by   FSUTrill ,  Jul 27, 2000
Pros: Enchanting story, written on several levels
Cons: none
Review: This review is part of the "Movie Novelization Write-Off"- check out the links to the other reviews on the book home page.

This book, copyright 1973, is one of the greatest examples of a “has-it-all” book around. It is a...

The Princess Bride: A Good Book and I Mean It...

by   johnusmaximus1 ,  Apr 25, 2006
Pros: Easily read and understood. Fantastic descriptive writing.
Cons: Intro a little hard to get through, but I later understood why it was there.
The Bottom Line: Although not exactly the movie, a definite must for the die-hard fan or those wanting a lighthearted read. Would also make a great first-novel-I-ever-read.
Review: "Anybody want a peanut?" **This review reveals major details about the plot and ending of the book, so beware! Each paragraph containing a spoiler will indicate such by saying *SPOILER* at the beginning of the paragraph. I had never realized that ...

Where is S Morgenstern When You Need Him??

by   laryan ,  Apr 5, 2000
Pros: Everything! One of the true classics of the 20th century!
Cons: No sequel!
Review: I read this book first when I was in high school and was captivated by the first chapter. Where else can you find a book that has it all? True Love, Adventure, Sword Fighting, etc, etc. Okay, I was so enraptured with this book that I began...

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.

by   Guildencrantz ,  Jan 9, 2000
Pros: Truly accentuates the movie, wonderfully funny, great as a novel without the movie.
Cons: Will there be another?
Review: Anybody who has seen the movie of The Princess Bride knows this quote by heart: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." This quote, like all the great quotes in the movie, is also in the book. Now: if you...

Buttercup and the Three Heroes: A Review of The Princess Bride

by   jadedrose ,  Apr 14, 2003
Pros: A thrilling romantic comedy and includes plenty of sarcastic "good parts".
Cons: Unsatisfactory ending with no sequel in sight.
The Bottom Line: Though I found the denouement to be below my expectations, I still recommend this book to those who just want to enjoy a good book.
Review: This story begins like every classic tale: a young boy and the most beautiful girl fall in love. Yet they are poor, and thus he sets off to make a fortune and she awaits his return home to her. Through the many obstacles that postpone his...

Before there was a movie, there was William Goldman

by   riverfinder ,  Jan 29, 2003
Pros: A very clever, witty concoction
Cons: May confuse the gullible
The Bottom Line: Read it by yourself or with your kids over and over until the cover falls off.
Review: I must start my review by making it quite clear that the Princess Bride was a book LONG before it was a movie, and it was by a man named William Goldman, not (as Goldman claims in the opening of the book) S. Morgenstern. Goldman made up Morgenstern, as...

"Wait a minute, wait a minute....Is this a kissing book?"

by   candice_lemons ,  Mar 31, 2001
Pros: A Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure and much much more
Cons: it finished
The Bottom Line: Read this book! I can't stress it enough...if you thought the movie was good - you'll be blown away by the book
Review: I loved The Princess Bride movie from the first time I saw it as a child. It is my "I'm staying home sick and watching an old favorite" movie. After years of wishing, I find out there is a book!?! Now it is my favourite "I need to believe in love again"...

A Pure Delight

by   Dani257 ,  May 8, 2000
Pros: Great gimmick, actual story is fun and romantic
Cons: Buttercup is a bit on the dim side
Review: I'm probably a disgrace to English majors. I can tolerate Shakespeare, but I can't stand Chaucer (He should be resurrected, and then shot), and I hope Milton never finds Paradise. S Morgenstern's book, The Princess Bride is as longwinded as these...
