Nostalgic Bliss
What a treat to listen to Carey talk about his time creating this movie and bringing his character to life. The insight is incredible, the stories will make you laugh out loud, and your heart will swell as you fall in love with the movie all over again. Not to mention the joy it is to get to listen to his voice for several hours, he is so charming and witty, just like Westley.

I love this movie and went to see it at NJPAC followed by a Q & A with Carey Eweles. It was a great experience and couldn’t wait to read this book. I went with the audio book since I am not much of a book reader. After my first audio book ever and the great story it was it actually got me to listen to more books. Thank you Carey for getting me into book and not just ones there were assigned in school.
