4.0

I love a good satire and more than anything this book is one. This book has so many genres wrapped into one that really narrowing it can be difficult. We're all familiar with the Westley/Buttercup story, but the abridgement's commentary and the story that it tells about Goldman and his family is just as interesting and may be harder hitting for adult readers. It is, however, very disruptive at times to the story and the pacing often is a little odd.
