The Princess Bride

by William Goldman

[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

Some may see it as inconceivable but I liked the film version of The Princess Bride more than the book.  I felt that the book was too and short and the plot felt rushed.  As I love the dialogue in the film, I found myself searching for favored scenes or quotes that are shown in the movie ("Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.")  The Princess Bride is still a good book and worth the read if you're a fan of the film, however I prefer watching a young Fred Savage being told the story by Peter Falk.
