(from the inside cover)

Westley...handsome farm boy who risks death and much, much worse for the woman he loves; Inigo...the Spanish swordsman who lives only to avenge his fathes's death; Fezzik...the Turk, the gentlest giant ever to have uprooted a tree with his bare hands; Vizzini...the evil Sicilian, with a mind so keen he's been foiled by his own perfect logic; Prince Humperdinck...the eviler ruler of Guilder, who has an equally insatiable thirst for war and the beauteous Buttercup; Count Rugen...the evilest man of all, who thrives on the excrutiating pain of others; Miracle Max...the king's ex-Miracle Man, who can raise the dead (kind of); The Dread Pirate Roberts...supreme looter and plunderer of the high seas; and, of course, Buttercup...the princess bride, the most perfect, beautiful woman in the history of the world.

This is a story that pits country against country, good against evil, love against hate. From the Cliffs of Insanity through the Fire Swamp and down into the Zoo of Death, this incredible journey and brilliant tale is peppered with strange beasties both monstrous and gentle, and memorable surprises both terrible and sublime.

I liked the book, but in this case I liked the movie more! But would still recommend the book.

Sent book to another bookcrosser as part of a trade. Happy travels book!
