Summary: Pure MAGIC
Review: I read this book when it was first published almost 25 years ago. I found it after reading another great Goldman book, Boys and Girls Together. I thought that was one great book. Goldman's classic tale of love is wonderful. I have the movie (what fan doesn't) but I prefer the book to the movie. The writing is so vivid, the zoo of death in particular. I also loved the way Goldman fills in the character background. Indigo's boyhood is so vital to explainig his quest for revenge. There was one scene in the movie that was better than the book and that was the Miracle Max scene. Billy Crystal was great. If you like this book try another Goldman. I recommend Boys and Girls Together ( maybe they will reprint if enough people ask), Magic, Tinsel, and of course Marathon man and it's sequel Brothers. Goldman is truly a talented writer. I have loved to read anything by him.

Summary: A vivid world that draws you in...
Review: This is one of those books that draws you in so deeply you find yourself pushing it away from you muttering loudly "HOW could that evil person do that? No! IT CANT HAPPEN!" and then you sit back and go, oh yeah, wait, it's just a book, breathe, and then pick it up again. I love these books but they are so few and hard to find! I am going to go crazy if they don't publish ALL of Buttercup's Baby soon! BTW, if you've read the paperback version, or seen the movie, you HAVE to read the ending of the new version, it has a chapter from the sequel that just adds more to the fun. (Will fezzik die?)

Summary: One of the BEST books ever!!!
Review: i always wanted to read this book. the first time i heard about this book was just after i saw the movie with the same title. in the movie the boy requested not to hear about the kissing parts - and i always wanted to know what i was missing. so i searched for the book. when i started reading it i thought it was a bit wired that the writer wrote 30 pages about himself and not about the story... - but it was worth it! the story has everything!: LOVE - MONSTERS - BAD GUYS - GOOD GUYS - MAGIC. it is the best book i read in a long time.RUN AND GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: the best fairy tale in all the land!
Review: Like Peter Falk said, this book has something for everyone: adventure, sword fighting, true looooooove. Its the only book that I've ever read that wasn't ruined by the movie, and vice versa . . . they serve only to enhance each other! Fans from all over the world can identify each other with a quote or line from the book/movie. Fantastic!

Summary: i love it! i love it! i love it!
Review: I loved this book. I will never get tired of reading it. First watched the incredibly funny movie which is my favorite movie. I rented it so many times that my dad finally asked the guy at the video rental if he could buy the video from him. I have read the book countless times in one year. I first read it last year when i was in 8th grade. my reading teacher flat out told us on the first day and almost every day after that: There is no such man S. Morgenstern. There is probably a man named that, but he did not write the Princess bride. S. Morgenstern is only a creation of William Goldman. Goldman simply made him up to make the story more interesting (which it did). And, by the way i always get a kick out of reading the comments from the weird psychotic people that actually think that there actually lived an S.morgenstern that wrote The Princess Bride. I love the comments: "shame on you Mr Goldman for messing up morgensterns book," "im gonna sue you!" "the original was much better" "Shameless profit taking and pablumization." "I liked the real book, but the abridgement leaves stuff out. " "William Goldman's destruction of "The Princess Bride" Haahahahheheee! Crazy people out there. I hope you have oodles of fun looking for the original copy! And if you do, Send me it! email me!

Summary: A classic, one to keep and treasure
Review: This is one of the most amazing books you'll ever lay hands on. Read it through once, and you've only got half the effect. Then sit down and read it to a child or loved one (Leaving out the asides, just like the movie ;) to get the best of it. This is one that will picked up and dusted off many times, and given away as a beloved gift more than once.
