Edit Re: Second Reading.

The first time I read this was in 2011, and I did NOT catch on to the fact that William Goldman is the AUTHOR. He carries on with the witty schtick that he only wrote the "abridgement," but here I am ~9 years later on my second read, knowing now that there is no S. Morgenstern. We the readers have been played. How brilliant. With that in mind, I've re-written my review for 2020, with the original, clueless 2011 review following it for the sake of record-keeping.

This is one of my favourite books ever written. The clever "abridged" text makes for such a great story. ...more
