The end of this chaotic year is coming at fast speed and my poor brain can barely manage to function properly. So, with that in mind, I've realized that as much as I would love to join all those fantastic challenges out there, I'd better do something simpler instead. I've decided (though I might change my mind, which is something I do frequently) that for this year's last days I'm going to cater for my inner child needs and go back to those readings I've loved so much and I'll also explore some other great novels I've never read before.
Therefore, this is the book that inaugurates this joyful season: The Princess Bride by William Goldman. I must admit I thought I knew nothing of it, but when I found it was quite a classic, I read the blurb and something rang a bell. Well, of course! I had watched the film a million years ago. So I picked it up and wasn't able to put it down till the end. I fell in love with Goldman's voice, with the story, with all the characters, and even with the bittersweet message.
Well, what does it have that made it so special?
