Somehow he stays true to himself, even when it becomes difficult. It seems impossible that being exposed to all that violence wouldn’t corrupt him. Vizzini doesn’t have a lot going for him but he pulled Inigo back from the oblivion that he’d been swallowed by in the face of potential failure. However, as with all our passions, if we let them consume us we loose track of the things that keep us tethered to reality and sanity. He’s done everything he can possibly do to ensure he succeeds and succeed well. Inigo is passion, in that he thirsts for the fulfillment of his lifelong goal with his every being. How can you not? They are the very personifications of life’s struggles. The story follows Buttercup, which makes sense as she is the Princess Bride but I’d read a whole book just about Inigo and Fezzik. Inigo and Fezzik’s stories are by far the best. The character development is so spectacular.
The book does have a similar story line but, as with all book-to-movie creations, there have been changes. If you’ve seen the film and are shocked and elated that there is book to accompany the fabulous movie, hold on to your hat. William Goldman makes even taxes laugh out loud funny. Even my husband who does not enjoy fiction (with the exception of The Hobbit) enjoyed this book, as we read it to Bug at bed time. It’s quite possibly the wittiest story I’ve ever read. The Low Down: If you are coming at The Princess Bride with new eyes, than you’re in for a treat. Synopsis: A dad remembers reading “a book” with his father filled with adventure, evil, and most importantly true love.
