Summary: The greatest book on earth!!!!!
Review: I think that this book is excellent. In the movie the left out the best part; when Buttercup and Westley start falling in love and when Count Rugen comes to the farm house. I love the part where Buttercup goes to Westley's hut and tells him that she really loves him. This is the best book that I have ever read!! I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I keep reading it over and over and now I know some of my favorite lines by heart. If you haven't read this book then you have no idea what is missing. I am so glad that I got this book.

Summary: Original text parts were good, but the editors remarks not.
Review: The original text by S. Morgensern was great, but I was upset about how much of it was cut out. I beleive everyone should read this book, but my advice to the easily annoyed: kip over the editors dry remakrs printed in italics. I don't beleive it's fair for Goldman to get credit for this book, because he took Morgensern's legacy and butchered it. Oh well, read it anyway folks.

Summary: Greatest Economic Allegory Since The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Review: This is a wonderful read. It has everything: Fighting, fencing, true love, economic allegory, strong hate, the whole bit. I cannot take credit for realizing that this was a great allegory. However, once I read that it was an allegory advocating laissez faire, everything seemed to make sense. There are numerous references to different types of money throughout the book. There are remarkable parallels between the introduction and the story itself. This is a great book that can be read on many different levels. Better than the movie, too.

Summary: I'm curious for more info.
Review: This is one of the best fantasy novels I have ever read. I first discovered this book while in junior high. I had seen the movie numerous times, and was curious for more. Although I have had the book for about 8 years, I didn't first read it until two years ago. Boy what did I miss. It has everything in a fantasy novel you need; magic, sword-play, women, death, pirates, satire, and applys to all ages any time. I too was disapointed to find out that Morgenstern never exsisted, but, it's obvious if you think about it. Have you ever heard of a Florinese scholar? Also, am I the only one curious to know more about characters like Vizzini or Rugen? or a descriptions of Fezzik and Inigo trekking around Florin finding the ingredients for the miracle pill? Anyways, if you enjoyed the movie, pick this book up, and let your mind go on an endless adventure through time.

Summary: I thought this was out of print, prepare to live forever!!!
Review: Along with all the other books on this website, this is one of my favorites!!! The plot, in both the movie and the book, is fantabuloisticiferous (I invented that)! I hope everyone reads it at least once in their life.

Summary: absolutely wonderful
Review: ok... i honestly thought the movie was better. i did not like how buttercup was portrayed in the book at the end of the fireswamp. she sounded terrible! however, the movie did leave out the zoo of death which i thought was a lot more interesting and fitting to the story than the pit of despair. but i love the story, and i can't get enough of it.
