As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride
by Cary Elwes, Joe Layden
funny
lighthearted
slow-paced
For people who love watching movies with commentary from the actors.
I would recommend the audiobook to anyone who loves The Princess Bride. Cary Elwes' voice is so lovely. His mastery of so many different accents added A LOT to the story. I have never heard so many believable accents from one person. That said, I don't think I would have gotten as much from a print copy. There are blurbs from many of the actors from the film, read by them, which was delightful.
I went back and watched scenes that they discussed and will now enjoy the movie even more, knowing several funny backstories.
This is 5 stars for a memoir about the making of one of my favorite movies. I listened lovingly with warm, nostalgic feelings. I am not comparing it to life-changing literature. It is perfect. No notes.
