I got this on Audible, and I really think that's the best way to read it. Along with hilarious impressions (especially of Andre the Giant), we also get to hear the actual actors commenting on what it was like for them to work on the set. The Princess Bride will always be one of my favorite movies, and now even more so because of this book.
