Love, love, love! Can't recommend enough, especially if you're a fan of The Princess Bride. Listen to the audio book for the most immersive experience as it's read by Cary Elwes and many of the other key cast and crew for this film! I listened to it in just a few days; I was hooked!

Truly a MUST for fans of the film. As someone who grew up loving TPB, listening to my childhood favorites tell me MORE stories about their wonderful time together was incredibly joyful.

I love when an author narrates their own book, especially when said author is a public figure. Cary Elwes has a great voice for it! Well written, fun read. I enjoyed the sound bites of the other actors reading their own quotes, it was a nice touch. I'm a huge fan of The Princess Bride and I've seen Cary Elwes at comic con so there weren't many of the stories that I hadn't heard before but it was still enjoyable.

Meh. Cute anecdotes and I'll never see the ROUSes or the climb up the cliffs of insanity the same again, but not particularly insightful and revealed a slight vapid was on the pet of the movie's two main stars.

I think this is my 3rd or 4th time listening to As You Wish. It is always a great listen and makes for an even more enjoyable watch of the movie afterwards.
I loved hearing tales from the making of one of my favorite movies. This must be listened to vs read, in my opinion. Now I need to watch it again.

This was a very pleasurable journey back into the story of a really great film. Lots of wonderful stories about the adventure of making the film. If you're a fan of The Princess Bride, book or movie, I can recommend this book.
