This book is wonderful!
 
William Goldman writing was great and I thought that his way of telling the story was very inventive. He did a wonderful job creating the atmosphere and, by his comments as “editor”, he was able to create suspense and make the reader eager to read on (at least, I felt that way). I rarely finish books in one sitting but I just needed to know what was going to happen next.
 
I really loved all the characters, even the bad ones. The characters' backstories were so intersting that I didn't mind that they interrupted, in a way, the action.
 
Action-packed, funny, with great characters, The Princess Bride is a must-read.I read that the movie is as awesome as the book so I can't wait to watch it.
