I'm not that focused on the language in a book. I can generally tell if it's good or bad, but the story being told is often my focus, and I find a lot of books that people tout as "beautifully written" to just be tedious to slog through. So when I saw people harping on the language of this book, I g...
The Princess Bride by William Goldman is a satirical romantic fairy tale. A young girl named Buttercup falls in love with the farm hand Westly.
