4.75
Love the style and humor of this book. The authors notes and inserts are wonderful funny, sometimes cutting off the parts you realy want to get to but it is supposed to be all the good parts so we will trust his judgement ;).
Original only ever had seen the movie adaptation and absolutely love it. The joy of realizing that most of the dialogue is taken straight from the book word for word 10/10.
Only reason I'm giving this particular edition a 4.75 is the last bit that includes Buttercups Bady. That last chaper is all over the place and leaves one with more questions then answers at the end. If you like a more closed ending to your stories probably best to give it a skip, even if the original part of the book does end a bit more openly then to movie.
