Nary a boring moment, character, or scene are to be found within. Morgenstern's original, much-longer, boring 'The Princess Bride', Goldman's voice often appears with amusing annotations of abridgment and Morgenstern-estate-legal-drama. Because the story is presented as an abridgment of fictional author S.

This fine tapestry of characters and events are all tied together with Goldman's excellent and comedic writing. A castle is stormed, Rodents of Unusual Size are faced, and a fencing match rages over the perilous Cliffs of Insanity. Such characters participate in wondrous, high adventure. There's the vengeful Inigo, who's after the six-fingered man who killed his father, Prince Humperdink, who loves hunting and has his own “hunting zoo”, and Miracle Max, the disgruntled medicine man, angered at the aforementioned prince for sacking him. Each character, whether hero or villain, is memorable in their own way. This is without a doubt one of the most charming and funniest books I have ever had the privilege to come across. After reading his 1973 classic, I feel like singing similar praises. It’s still my favorite book in all the world” are the first words of William Goldman’s The Princess Bride.
