The Princess Bride

I. Loved. This. Book. Of course, I absolutely adore the movie, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the majority of the best lines from the movie were taken directly from the book. It also took me longer than I'd like to admit to find out that S. Morgenstern is in fact, not a real person, but a pen name for William Goldman. Once I realized this, I found it funny that he “edited out” so many parts, and it made me wonder if he was just lazy and didn't want to write certain parts (or didn't know what to write?). When I started the book, I almost started to skip all of his “notes” where he “edited” just to stay focused on the main story, but I'm glad I didn't because it did add some humor to the book. I recommend this book to anyone who loves the movie.
