Summary: I love this book!
Review: I read the Princess Bride for the first time as a Junior in High School. Along with many more serious works, this was included as required reading in Lyle Daniel's Vashon High Jr. English class. It was nearly 10 years later that I saw the movie. I highly recommend the book, although the movie was done quite well. If you are looking for a story to build a love of reading in a young person this is it. I am thrilled to find copies of the book available through Amazon. I recently went to the King County library to check out a copy to read to my neices and nephew and found they only carry the movie. I may have to buy and extra copy or two to donate!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buttercup's Baby
Review: Does anyone know if the sequal to The Princess Bride, Buttercup's Baby, does exist or is it fictional just like "Morgenstern?" I would really like to know.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Book you Never Forget
Review: Well, I love this book. I saw the movie first, and the book is better. The parts about the zoo of death in the book are way better then the movie. A book is usually better because you can go sit down and watch a movie for two hours or you can watch and live it for weeks or days. A book grabs you and makes you part of the story. I recommend this, but I won't hate you if you dislike it. I do have a request to make. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT PROOF OF MORGENSTERN, WETHER REAL OR FAKE PLEASE TELL ME. I don't know what I believe, but I would like to know the truth. It makes the book so good either way. READ IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books I've ever read.
Review: Humor and adventure, down to earth facts and witty inserts. This book can hold the attention of anyone.

Summary: sequel in the works
Review: i am writing a sequel entitled buttercups bab

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How quick people are to dismiss Morgenstern
Review: all those who claim that moregenstern doesn't exist obviously don't realize that it happens to be part of william goldman's middle name. just as morgenstern exists as part of mr. goldman's delightfully warped tale. bravo to his book and his screenplay.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS BOOK???
Review: i saw the movie for the first time in elementary school; i read the book for the first time in middle school; i bought the book in high school; now i'm taking it with me to college, and you can bet i'll someday read it to my kids. when you read the book, you get william goldman's fabulous character descriptions, narrative, and irony, and when you see the movie you get the equally fabulous portrayals by the actors (wallace shawn is to die for!). universally recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this book...and movie, of course....
Review: I don't know what it is but I find that at least once a year I reread this book. An english teacher of mine once spoke about how there is always one book that becomes the most special to you and is something that you can fall back upon to put your life back in order when things are low...I guess for me it's this one. It is simply wonderful and only gets better each time I read it. Yay yay yay!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This IS the original.
Review: Just a repeat of what's been written previously: amazing, fabulous, wonderful book. Wry humor & witty dialogue abound. If the jokes inside the book don't get to you, maybe the inside joke will:

Morgenstern doesn't exit. The unabridged version doesn't exist. They were Goldman's literary devices. I don't know how much better the original could have been when this IS the original work by the original author.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The original was much better!!!
Review: W. Goldman has abridged this classic by omitting over 100 pages of the original. If anyone has an available copy of the original by S. Morgenstern or knows somewhere to get it please email me!!! I would be much abliged. Thank You Very Much!
