Princess Bride

      This passed week I finished reading the abridged version of "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman. I feel that the movie is a wonderful rendition of the novel, all of the dialogue from the book is word for word in the movie. The film is hilarious and well-directed, with hardly any inconsistencies from the novel, which is also hilarious and throroughly well-written.

      I would recommend this dynamic duo to anybody, the novel is a little more intense and graphic than the film but it is still child appropriate I feel.

     Considering how old this movie is I feel that they did a great job, there is no majorly detectable editing mess ups and there are no graphics for them to have butchered the movie with, such as in "Never Ending Story' in which the graphics are so horrible and they use a very small range of camera angles that they make it hard to watch.

    This is a great novel for anyone who loves a good adventure story, with such well developed characters and an interesting, well thought out plot line it's an easy reader for even the most unwilling of readers.
