I'm almost a bit ashamed to admit that this is my first time reading this book. No, I haven't watched the movie either, even though I do own it. Being that I was new, the first 10% of my kindle copy kind of threw me off track since well it was about the author and about the book, but wasn't the stor...

This is one book where I enjoyed the movie better. The way it was written was difficult for me to keep interested, the book dragged in parts, and I skimmed through some of it. It seemed to take forever to get to the end. I wish their were not so many long interruptions and the extra long introductio...

I read this book with a mixed heart. I loved "Morgenstern's" parts of the novel- witty and snarky, I was laughing a lot and quoting choice parts to my family. What detracted from the enjoyment was Goldman's comments in the first 35 pages and I didn't even read "Buttercup's Baby" segment. The mis...

This is one of those times that I can say, "It's not you, it's me". It's not the books fault that I didn't love it. I assumed that I would love The Princess Bride because of the high rating and the fact that it is listed as fantasy. I completely missed the fact that this book is also listed und...

I wish that I could say that I loved this book. Especially since the movie is nothing short of amazing. I wish I did, but I just didn't. The heart of the book is awesome. Everything that made the movie so great was there. The humor, the satire, the romance, and Inigo. Anyway. The issues I...

I won't give away the book with any spoilers. But I'll say the book will continue to surprise you at every turn. Although one might desire a little something more from the ending.. The author doesn't disappoint with the ending as it is written in the same manner he has written the book! I have given...

Wonderfully and Sentimentally entertaining. It revived a part of me that has been left in the dark corner of the shelf and start gathering dust. The part of me that I first discovered when I read Narnia and The Lord of the Rings. The joy was overwhelming. I love this book.

This is a difficult book to rate. If you are a fan of the movie ~ who isn't?! You will be hearing Cary Elwes saying, "As you wish," and Mandy Patinkin shouting, "I am Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Scenes from the movie, which closely mirror the novel, will flash through your ...
