About this listen
This adventure story has everything you could want: a handsome good guy, a pretty heroine, some bad guys, sword fighting, revenge, romance, and of course a happy ending, along with “rodents of unusual size.” Join Westley (the plucky farm boy), Buttercup (the beautiful young maiden), Inigo Montoya (the driven, embittered swordsman), Prince Humperdinck (the scheming villain), and many other strange and unusual characters in this swashbuckling tale of good-natured silliness.
Read by Rob Reiner, who directed the motion picture based on this fairy tale adventure.

This is my favorite book. I love it so much.
This book is so good, so much better than the film. And the reader is so excited about what he is reading you can't mistake it. I highly recommend

A classic tale of love and adventure!
Rob Reiner is wonderful at reading this tale. if you liked the movie you'll love the book!
it is missing the author notes from the book itself that gives it a uniqueness, but as an audio book I didn't mind.

same brilliant story that it has always been
well read, great story, brings back memories. The details are great, and even though the start confused me a little, it's just setting up for the telling.

If you've seen the film don't bother
I had seen the film before I read this and that may have spoiled me. The film is so incredibly faithful that I would say there's almost no point reading this if you've seen it. There is slightly more description and a bit more of an epilogue but that's about it.
I think the film actually handles the silliness better. The story seems more childish on paper. I liked the characters, the setting etc. but I didn't feel invested in the story with everything being so whimsical. I liked the narration though, that was good.
