As a fan of the classic movie, naturally I got curious about how it was made. 

It gave me the urge to rewatch the film and going in knowing some details made me even enjoy it more. Like “Hah, Wesley’s walk into the fire swamp makes so much more sense knowing his toe is actually broken.” and “Come on, that ‘Inconceivable’ is fantastic-Danny Devito couldn’t do that!” 

There are also inserts from many of the casts, their fears, thoughts, and their own funny moments to share. 

So definitely would recommend for anyone who loves the film. It shows that anything made with a lot of heart, really shines and will touch the heart of those who come.

I absolutely adored this!! A beautiful love letter to “The Princess Bride,” and everyone who worked on the project. This book just made my heart happy, and makes me want to watch the movie all over again with new eyes. Definitely recommend to anyone who is a huge fan of the film.
