Cool book, though I only read the abridgement by Goldman, so I can't speak for the original.
And I'm wondering if I'm the only one who really didn't like Buttercup all that much...Inigo was my favorite character. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've never fond the book anywhere but i have seen the movie and Inigo is played brilliantly although I have to say the concept of the dread pirate Roberts was my favorite thing.
Oh & yes I think that Buttercup is annoying too! [ 05-01-2002, 08:54 PM: Message edited by: Jenas Rhodry ]

<font color = lightgreen>Buttercup wasn't all that bad, I thought. I, personally, wouldn't fall for her, but that is neither here nor there.
How can you not like Fezzik? I like Miracle Max and his wife.</font>

<font color=skyblue>Yesss!!! Lioness! I have to say that I love you! The Princess Bride is my favorite movie! I own it on VHS, DVD, and the novel. I hear a rumor of a continuation book, called Buttercup's Baby, or something, but I cannot find it anywhere. I have watched that movie so many times, I can quote any part of it.
The most annoying part of Buttercup is when they are beuing attacked by the Rodent. She was terrible there! She was too unsure of what to do to help. </font>
