For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleI'll do my best to make it through this review without quoting The Princess Bride. It'll be difficult, but we'll see how this goes. This is a wonderful book for all the die-hard Princess Bride fans. The ones who know every scene, every line, every char...

A fantastic, easy read that's a must for any fan of The Princess Bride. I loved Cary Elwes' anecdotes from behind the scenes and his sneak peeks at everyone involved in making the movie, which sounded like a blast. A wonderful reflection on one of my favourite movies.

The Princess Bride is my favourite film. Probably of all time. Ask me to name my favourite book, and I really wouldn't be able to choose, as that would very much depend on genre, my mood, the weather, what I'd eaten recently and I would frankly have trouble even narrowing down a top 10. But my favou...

I can't think of a single movie which means more to me than The Princess Bride. There are plenty that are important – some of the Star Treks, and Casablanca, and The Great Escape, The Thin Man and the Harry Potters and Holiday (Grant and Hepburn, not the other one). Fellowship of the Ring once meant...

As a huge fan of both the book and the film, I loved reading about how the movie was made from the perspective of someone who was really there.

I loved getting a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a cult classic and personal favorite: The Princess Bride. While at times it is slathered with sticky-sweet perfection, I truly believe that everyone had a fantastic time making the movie. I really appreciated that there was no bashing or dirt...

I would have liked this book better in print. A narrator can make or break a book, and in this case, the narration did a bit of both. Listening, rather than reading, made it hard to gloss over those parts of the book that were weaker than others. What I didn't like: Cary Elwes was disappointin...

I received an advanced reader's copy of this book in e-format. Putting aside the horrible formatting issues, this was an absolutely delightful read. For anyone who loves the movie "The Princess Bride" this is a must read. Cary Elwes (Wesley) tells the story from his point of view. There are blurbs f...

Tightly and charmingly written, Mr. Elwes, Westley himself, takes us right from the beginning to the end with his usual wit and charm, accompanied by quotes and stories from fellow cast members and the filmmakers. The Princess Bride has been one of my favorite movies for a long time. The 80's were...
