The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies of all time & I was nervous to read the book bc I thought it might not be as good as the movie & unfortunately I was right, which is disappointing bc the book is always supposed to be better than the movie! Although I did enjoy the actual story of The Princess Bride, I hated the way this book is presented as an abridgment. It was kind of confusing & added absolutely nothing to the plot in my opinion.
Also, I read the 30th anniversary addition which includes the first chapter of Buttercup’s Baby, which is apparently the (probably fake) sequel to TPB, & again, I liked the story but hated all of the pointless asides. If I ever read this book again I’ll just stick to the main plot & Goldman’s pointless asides.
