REVIEW: Let's have a chat y'all. My favorite movie of ALL TIME is The Princess Bride and has been for as long as I can remember. I've been in love with Westley and Carey Elwes since I could be in love with anyone......and now......The Princess Bride is officially my ALL TIME favorite book. It is funny and sarcastic and quick paced just as I hoped. It's an abridgment of a book which doesn't exist (which I looked up because I thought it was real....lol). There are so many back stories which I never knew I needed. There are some incredible adventures from our favorite due Inigo and Fezzik. We learn that maybe Buttercup isn't as likable as we all assumed. This is definitely a book I will re-read annually from here on out and one I will share with my children. Another 5 star read for this month....not too shabby!
