The Princess Bride was a very fun and a delightful journey for me. I happen to love adventures and really, who doesn't? It's inconceivable to even think of a person who doesn't love adventures!

Buttercup, our main character, had quite the adventure. Let me tell you, the best thing about this book is the characters. They're downright funny, adorable, brave, bold and most of all memorable. I loved every single one of them, especially Fezzik. I really found him very adorable!
I laughed at several times and I was completely shocked because I have never laughed so much while reading a book. Any book that makes you laugh is a good book!
I don't really need to say much about the story. Most of you would have watched the movie or would have read the book a long time ago. I'm really late in reading all the good classics. If you're new to this book like I was, then go into it blind. You'll have an awesome and a memorable adventure, for sure.
My only problem with the book was the parentheses or I would like to call them as 'The interruptions'. Sometimes, I enjoyed reading them. Sometimes, I skimmed them. Sometimes, I felt like throwing it against a wall. I didn't want to skip them because then I'd feel like I read an incomplete book (I'm weird, I know). So, if you have the same problems, just leave the book for some time. Go do something else and then come back to it. Don't force yourself to continue because it sure didn't work out for me. Read this book slowly and savor every bit of it.
The Princess Bride Equation
A Princess + Bad Guys + Good Guys + Action + Humor = Unforgettable Adventure

P.S: If you want to spook someone, ask them if they have six fingers and if they do tell them this:

""Rest, then," her mother cautioned. "Terrible things can happen when you're overtired. I was overtired the night your father proposed."

"I thought the book ended here. Guess not because Goldman decided to ramble on a bit (a bit meaning ten or more pages) and I thought the rest of the book contained his rambles. WRONG! There's more and this is beginning to tire me tremendously."
