The Princess Bride
By William Goldman (You watch here: Princess Bride )
Well ... it could have been a book lover can be.
If I had read it earlier. At 14 or so. In the time when I could roll over Kishon best family stories, but his fox in the henhouse me a bissi was too high.
"The Princess Bride" is funny. That is beyond question. But Goldman does not think much of subtlety. He kills one of his irony, his sarcasm, his ostensible subtle joke.
I had ever the feeling that he would in every other sentence the gossip cattle call "LAUGH NOW!" . Uphold The
went pretty fast on the bag.
But at 14 I would have loved this book dearly and believed that I was the only one who understands his humor. And then I would probably love it even today. In memorandum.
But ... To quote the great philosopher
Danny Glover: "I'm too old for this shit!"
