I'm not sure I can say the book is better than the movie because the movie did an AWESOME job of portraying the book, but there are, of course, things in the book you don't get in the movie. Definitely worth a read!

I still haven't seen the movie but after reading this I want to see it even more. I love the story of Buttercup and found it exciting and funny, a real fairy tale. I found it dragged in parts but apart from that this was a great read.

Just like the movie, the basic story is good but Goldman's tongue-in-cheek commentary on the "original" story got a little tiresome.

Let's just say I can understand why other people love this book. It is clever and it did keep my interest. But I also wanted to slap Buttercup upside the head. She didn't deserve Westley. And then ending just kind of left me cold. But then, Goldman is right. Life isn't fair.

It's going to take me a bit to decide on a rating here and I'll have to explain my rating thoroughly too.

Torture. Well written, but not for me.
