Princess Bride
This was a childhood favorite movie of mine. I must have seen it a hundred times. Now that I have a son of my own, I decided to buy this book as a good bedtime story for him. Although we have not yet finished it, it has been a joy to read this book to him. He looks forward to bedtime just to hear me read to him. Reading this story will definitely be one of my many great memories with my boy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Top 10 books
I originally watched the movie over 11 years ago in an English class. And fell in love with it, though it was only in the last few years did I discover the book. I finally found it here and ordered it; and have not regretted it, while it has a lot of differences from the movie I still loved this book. I could not put it down. I would rank this one of my top 10 books that I love to read. Also a great price for a hard back book with beautiful imagery on the cover as well through the chapters. And it came soo quick. I ordered it Sunday and it came in yesterday. Defiantly a 10/10!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A MUST book for your library!
One of the best movies you'll ever watch and one of the best books you'll ever read (to see how close the movie and book align! Then the two introductions are interesting! I rarely read an interesting introduction!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
