"Until now, no one has unlocked the profound secrets of this wise and witty adventure tale. If you've wondered why men of action shouldn't lie, how the Battle of Wits could have turned out differently, what a rotten miracle would look like and whether it would amount to malpractice, or how Westley could have killed a lot of innocent people and still be a good guy, then The Princess Bride and Philosophy has all the answers"--P. [4] of cover.

I read most of this book in conjunction with my book club's discussion of William Goldman's “The Princess Bride.” None of the nearby libraries had this book available in print, which is why I only read part of the book.
I found many of the chapters well-written. Each chapter contained well-thought out explorations of “TPB's” themes and connections to classic philosophy. I can recommend this book as a nice companion to “TPB,” particularly if you want to delve into the genius of the novel.
