If you are a fan of the movie The Princess Bride or a fan of Cary Elwes you will really enjoy this book. If you are not it will make you a fan and make you want to watch The Princess Bride. The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies so I knew I was going to really enjoy this book. I listened to the audiobook which made it an even more wonderful reading experience. Cary Elwes narrates the book, and his costars narrate parts of the book too. I had a physical copy also to follow along, and I'm glad I did because there are pictures in the physical book. I recommend listening to the audiobook and having the physical book to read along with it or just to look at the pictures. The audiobook is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to.

Just a delightful little romp through the making of The Princess Bride -- highly recommend to all fans of the movie (and the book?).  Here's where I confess I haven't read the book itself. But the movie is a favorite.

A delightful memoir for a delightful movie. I never realized the humble beginnings of such a classic, and how Cary was just a kid during all of this. Interesting, informative, and charming
