The Princess Bride

I always assumed that the modern-day interjections in the movie version of The Princess Bride were put there for the movie itself. So it was interesting but also odd to read the novel and discover that William Goldman wrote the book in the same format. In fact, the book was basically just like the movie (or vice versa), but I think because I have known and loved the movie for so long, I actually like the film version better. The satire, adventure, and the interjections just seem to work better in the movie format. But it was still enjoyable to read the book as well.
