I just finished the 25th anniversary edition of Mr. Goleman's "abridged" version of S. Morgensterns book "The Princess Bride" I must tell you I was absolutely taken with this book and couldn't put it down. I loved all the parts where he comes in and tells you what he's cut out and why and I was actually fooled I guess cause here I am writing after getting up at midnight (cause that's when I finished the book) to try and find the sequel; "Buttercup's Baby"

I guess i am not the first. I believed. I
looked. I did not find as planned. I guess you get your personal point across about "life not being fair." Good for you. I am sure glad that i never knew that until this. You are a very good writer. I hope that you are having a good laugh at those of us still in need of a hero. That, under any other circumstance would have been you. I guess you're right. It can always get worse.

I have spent YEARS of my life loving this book, and even went as far to ask the reference librarian at my big 10 university about finding a copy of the Morgenstern...she must have been in on the joke, as she informed me with a completely straight face that the library did have a copy, but I could not see it as it was an antique. DUH. Still love it!!

oh my goodness! i just found out that basically nothing in the princess bride is real! (i know, i was a little slow at figuring that out) I am pretty disappointed, though, i was really getting into the parts that talk about Goldman going to Florin, so i did some research online...."The Princess Bride" was still an awesome read, but I'm sad that it was not some extremely old book that was written one thousand years ago

I really do hope that Goldman writes the sequel; however, I'd rather he didn't if he chooses to kill off Fezzik. What did he ever do to anyone?

I loved the Princess Bride, it's a great story and i can't wait to read it again, and i was so upset when i found out that Buttercups baby didn't exist yet and i really hope that it does get published i loved the first chapter.

WOW. Goldman has had me fooled for years. That's wonderful. This book was the inspirational theme for my wedding... It's such a great love story. I'm going to read the book again now, because knowing that Goldman's fibbing the whole way through will make it more interesting. I just can't believe it. Hey Goldman (yeah, I know you read this stuff, how could you resist?...) Please pleeease finish buttercups baby!
