The Princess Bride by William Goldman
adventurous
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
4.0
It’s easy to see why so many love this story, and the movie adaptation. It’s smart and funny and doesn’t take itself seriously. Not all of the parts aged well, but overall I think it still works.
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the edition I read had 2 introductions that were a little confusing, especially not knowing it was all fictional at first, and a very unnecessary first chapter of Buttercup’s Baby. Everything I loved about The Princess Bride, I hated about that extra chapter.
