As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride by Cary Elwes

Now I am biased. The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies and I have read the book. On Twitter the first line in my bio is The Dread Pirate of Twitter. My Tumblr is actually titled The Dread Pirate of Tumblr. So I am already in love with the book and the movie. I actually preordered this book once I found out about it because I was so excited about it. Generally I struggle with non-fiction and thought when I read this it would take me a little while to get through it. I read this book in two days. It is not a very long book, about 245 pages, which I actually appreciated. This book was beautifully written. I loved the writing style and I how he told stories. What I also loved about this book was that throughout the whole book there are boxes with interviews from the actors, writer, director, ect. The blurbs relate to what he is discussing in the book. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about them, but I actually really liked the different perspectives and stories throughout. If you are a fan of the movie you have to read this book. It is full of heartfelt stories and perspectives of the movie
