Book #33: "As You Wish: Inconceivable Stories from the Making of The Princess Bride "

Okay, guys. You know what, I tried. I really did. Not working at the bookstore made it a lot easier not to add to my library. (Friends on Facebook telling me that the public library is having a book sale...not so much.) But when the lead actor from one of my favorite movies writes a book about the making of said movie...well, it was too much to resist.

And a delightful book it is. I am always fascinated by behind-the-scene things, though they usually include a lot of unpleasant details that mean you can never look at the movie or people in quite the same way again. But Cary Elwes tells the story with immense glee, as though all these years later, he still can't quite believe he was ever lucky enough to have this experience. And it brings me great joy to know that something I love so much was just as much fun to create as I have always hoped.

Author: Cary Elwes

Potentially objectionable content: None that I remember. Maybe some language.
