This was like an audiobook version of the “making of” documentary in the Princess Bride’s DVD extras. Much of the information revealed here was covered in the DVD, but more in depth, and I liked hearing the audio clips of each participant making their own commentary. Still, it’s a good behind the s...
As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride is a behind the scenes look at the making of the movie by Cary Elwes, the Man in Black. If you are a fan of the movie, you will enjoy the descriptions of a movie-making experience that seems to be as magical as the movie itself. ...
I'm not the world's biggest Cary Elwes fan -- I've never not enjoyed him, but I've never sat down and said "I should find an Elwes movie to watch" or "oh, Elwes is in that movie/show? Gotta watch it now." So when I saw this book on the shelves, I thought "how nice for him that he wrote a memoir," a...
If I ever had to pick one movie to be my favorite movie of all time, I would immediately blurt out, "The Princess Bride!" I don't remember the first time I saw it, but I know that the VHS came out when I was about nine years old, so I can't imagine it was too long after that. Not only is this story ...
Short version: I LOVED THIS AUDIOBOOK!! Longer fangirl version: The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies. I actually saw it in the theater and then bought the book (William Goldman's) right after. I think I stayed up all night reading it. As You Wish is a book on the making of the movie, wi...
As most people probably know, Cary Elwes played the role of Wesley in the fantasy adventure classic The Princess Bride, which hit the big screen in 1987. This movie has stood the test of time and continues to entire folks (including myself). So when I saw this book, I had to give it a listen.This wa...
This is a pleasant book for fans of the movie and/or book. There's nothing here really surprising: the cast got along well, the director was amiable, no one ever expected it to be a classic. I did enjoy learning about how intensively and how long Elwes and Patankin trained for the big duel, because ...
I really, really enjoyed Cary Elwes' memoir of the making of The Princess Bride, and I'm so glad I got the audiobook rather than a print version, because so many of the cast and crew contributed to the memoir and came back to read their own contributions, so listening to the book was a richer experi...
As a fan of The Princess Bride and having admired Carey for years, I lived hearing about the actors experiences and the love they have for the movie. I chose to listen 6 the audio version because Carey was the appealing voice taken used to narrate the book along with cameo's from much of of cast. I...
My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com. The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorite movies, so I jumped at the chance to review this audiobook. After listening, I have an all new appreciation for the amount of work that these actors, actresses and cre...
