The Princess Bride isn’t just a movie to me; it’s a cornerstone of my life. I’ve watched it over a hundred times, and it never loses its charm. So, diving into Cary Elwes’ As You Wish felt like catching up with an old friend.

Elwes’ storytelling is as engaging as his on-screen presence. The book offers a delightful behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, filled with anecdotes that made me appreciate the movie even more. Listening to the audiobook added another layer of enjoyment, especially with contributions from other cast members like Billy Crystal and Robin Wright, who shared their memories in their own voices.

This memoir isn’t just for fans; it’s for anyone who appreciates the magic of filmmaking and the bonds formed during such a unique project. It reminded me why The Princess Bride has remained my all-time favorite for so long.
