The Princess Bride: of true love and high adventure

Date of Review:  Nov 6, 2000
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 25th Anniversary Edition- Where are my 'Good Parts'?

Date of Review:  Aug 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Usually I say "Read the book, not the bottom line." This time, I can't.
Review: My poor husband. He tries so hard, but he just doesn?t have the gift for...Well, gift buying. He?s no longer allowed to buy clothing for me- always the wrong size or style. He?s tried flowers, jewelry, music; you name it- he?s tried to find a gift...

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

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2000
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 wonderful story...

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2000
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 have not...

The Princess Bride: My grandfather even loved it in 1920

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2004
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...

Where is S Morgenstern When You Need Him??

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2000
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...

I've read the book. I've seen the movie. Both are great.

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2000
Review: Anyone, who has seen the movie The Princess Bride, will more than likely enjoy the book. The movie and the book are almost one and the same. As usual, however, the book has added details and provided a different perspective on the story than the...

An adventure of a story

Date of Review:  Dec 25, 2000
Review: Look OUT: I reveal the ending of this book.

I have never seen this film. That is because I always will prefer to read the book first, then if I see the film I know what's going on behind the scenes in the plot. I understand character...

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

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2006
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.

A Pure Delight

Date of Review:  May 8, 2000
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...
