from NPR survey of great Young Adult fiction.
I love the movie (LOVE!!!! major quote source!!!) so I'm kind of afraid to read the book. Will it conflict with the movie, or will it enhance?

This book was a delight! The movie was very loyal to the book, so most of your favorite dialogue is here (notable exception: "to blathe!" - in fact, Carol Kane's character is no where to be found). I listened to the audiobook, read by Rob Re ...more

January 2011 Review:
I've watched The Princess Bride movie many times a year for, quite frankly, as long as I can remember. It's one of those movies I grew up loving and grew fonder of as the years went by. It's so full of quotes, things I use so often even in daily life - as recent as dropping my brother off at his girlfriends (he's 16 and will never read this so I can tell you all) and yelling out, "Have fun storming the castle!" as he made his way up the driveway he refused to have me drive in ...more

always a good read
This is a fun adventure. The movie still might be better, but I enjoyed the book. The characters and plot are really fun.
