Princess Bride post from Marielle

I haven't quite finished the book, but I couldn't resist writing some remarks.

I have loved reading it. I took a short hiatus to read some other "new release" books, but am back on track, and plan on finishing it tonight.

I love that the book is SO SO SO much like the movie. Or I guess I should say the movie is so like the book. Except for the Zoo, everything is quite similar. Even many of the lines the characters speak are taken from the book, like "Humiliations galore," and the ever famous "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!"

Plus the whole storyline with the author reading it to his sick son, it was just so familiar and welcoming.

I found an interesting website that talks about the author, and the so-called Morgenstern.

And if you go here, you can request the missing scene.

I can't wait to watch the movie now! Just to brag, I gave a massage to Norman Lear, the executive producer of the movie. He was very nice.

What's the January book?
