وصف الناشر
What happens when the most beautiful girl in the world marries the handsomest prince of all time and he turns out to be...well...a lot less than the man of her dreams?
As a boy, William Goldman claims, he loved to hear his father read the S. Morgenstern classic, The Princess Bride. But as a grown-up he discovered that the boring parts were left out of good old Dad's recitation, and only the "good parts" reached his ears.
Now Goldman does Dad one better. He's reconstructed the "Good Parts Version" to delight wise kids and wide-eyed grownups everywhere.
What's it about? Fencing. Fighting. True Love. Strong Hate. Harsh Revenge. A Few Giants. Lots of Bad Men. Lots of Good Men. Five or Six Beautiful Women. Beasties Monstrous and Gentle. Some Swell Escapes and Captures. Death, Lies, Truth, Miracles, and a Little Sex.
In short, it's about everything.

Favorite!
One of my absolute favorite movies I’ve ever seen, I am over the moon about being able to read it all through, I shared this with my wife; wonderful read.
Not what I expected
I read this as my first book club read. I actually talked with another member because I thought I bought the wrong book because it was oddly written compared to my normal reading fare. Nope, just a little odd story that grows on you the further into the book one gets. It’ll be an interesting discussion when we all get together.
Awesome story!
This is an amazing story with a great plot and awesome characters.
