The Princess Bride

Reader reviewed by Nic

When Buttercup learns that her True Love, Westley, was kidnapped by the Dread Pirate Roberts, she vows she will never love again. She ends up engaged to the wicked Prince Humperdinck, though she feels no love for him. When Princess Buttercup is kidnapped by a giant, a Spaniard, and their Sicilian boss, a mysterious man in black arrives to rescue her.


This is one of the very, very few times I will say that the movie was better than the book, but it was. The only reason for this is the author's interruptions as he leaves the story to include "background information". However, if you skip the interruptions, this book is marvelous fun. It has it all: humour, adventure, romance, pirates, royalty, danger, Rodents Of Unusual Size. Boys and girls of all ages will love this timeless movie, and the movie is a must-see as well.

'The Princess Bride' is exactly what it claims. A classic tale of love and high adventure. It's about a beautiful girl named Buttercup on her path to love and pricess-ship. I recomend this for any and everyone. It's not as girly as it sounds boys. Actually, the man who revised it did so not to make money but because he truely loved the story and has meaning to him. It is a wonderful story that seems to have a powerful meaning to anyone who reads it.
