The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure, abridged by William Goldman

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

My introduction to The Princess Bride came in the form of an excerpt (the fabulous sword-fighting scene at the top of the Cliffs Of Despair) that was part of an anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories, which I had gotten at about the age of 13 or 14.

For many years after that I sort of casually kept an eye out for the entire book, but back then there wasn’t a great selection of books available cheaply in Trinidad.

Well, I almost couldn’t contain myself when I saw that someone had actually made The Princess Bride into a movie. And I wasn’t disappointed in the least - what a great flick! Inconceivable!

Finally, a few years ago I came across William Goldman’s re-telling of this wonderfully whimsical, yet totally action-packed tale. And now I have my very own copy of The Princess Bride and the movie too. Yeah!!! I highly recommend this one - both the book and The Princess Bride Movie - especially if you have kids.

Welcome to my Christian Book Reviews blog!

Friday, November 16th, 2007

So I decided to move my book reviews (infrequent though they may be) to a WordPress blog, because updating the information is sooo much easier!

Plus you’ll be able to search for a specific book with the built-in search capability of WordPress.

Now, regular visitors to the site will already know that I also review a few non-christian books here as well. But the focus is on Christan Books.

I’ll also be duplicating the information on the more popular Christian Bookstores here on the blog just to make it easier to get to that info, but I’ll probably just include links to the other pages on the main site.

I’ll be sure to keep you posted on my progress with these updates as I go along.

Happy reading!
Paula.
