The Princess Bride by William GoldmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Just as classic as the movie, "in my book." Really, the essential differences are fairly innocuous: the book's Zoo of Death becomes merely the Pit of Despair in the movie and the adult's retelling of a remembered tale sort turns the point of view inside out. The "ending" is different with the weight of the differences giving a darker shade of irony to the book and leaving the movie a but sunnier and more fairy tale-like. As read by Rob Reiner, the tone of this story really feels more like Wood Allen's humor in Side Effects, etc.
