As You Wish

This book. Really. This awesome, fun, charming, sweet, amusing book. It should come with a giant neon colored warning sticker on the cover stating readers should have their copy of the dvd nearby as they turn the pages. Because by the time you're done? You'll need to watch the movie. Again. For the 915th time.

Is it the greatest book ever written? Well no. But then it doesn't have to be. What it is, is a giant love letter to everyone and everything associated with the wonderful movie - the cast, the crew, the places, the original source material, and the fans. It's full of colorful anecdotes and humorous asides. Lots of little facts sprinkled through out - from the fact that the Man in Black's pants were suede to the amount of sword fighting practice to create the greatest sword fight ever to how they found the perfect cast. And all the stories about Andre. Those were probably the sweetest moments.

I think I smiled with every page turn. A book that can do that, is a rare book indeed. I'd recommend this one to anyone who loves the movie, even if you're just a mild fan.

And now I need to go watch the movie for the 916th time.
