bee23 's review for:

The Princess Bride by William Goldman
5.0

The Princess Bride was one of my favorite movies growing up, so when I saw the book in the store I had to buy a copy. I was really surprised by how closely the movie followed the book. It really is very true to the source material.

My only complaint regarding the book is the beginning. It has a very long introduction before the story that goes on for a long time. I enjoyed it, and it was interesting, but it still felt like it was more than it needed to be to set up the interruptions and things. That being said, it reads much quicker than it seems so it wasn't that big a problem.
