This was an incredible book, but one that is definitely designed to be heard in my opinion. The addition of other actors including their voices to the audiobook version was perfect. I was only a moderate fan of The Princess Bride before listening to this book, but this book definitely made me love it a bit more. This is a perfect road trip listen.
