As You Wish

Short Review: Five might be a little high, but definitely 4.5. This is a book you should listen to not read. Cary Elwes is an excellent narrator. He knows where the jokes are and he does great impressions of the actors. And quite often it is the other actors from the Princess Bride that are giving their own impressions of the movie.

This is a light hearted book. There is not any dirty laundry. There is lots of praise for one another. And a lot of self depreciating humor from Elwes.

I love the movie. I love the original book. This book was written for someone like me that would probably love it if it were only mediocre. But it is actually really good. I haven't enjoyed a showbiz book so much since Julie Andrews' memoir Home.
