I have always loved the movie so why it took me so long to listen/read this book is beyond me. They made this version of the book remind me a lot of the movie. I will read the whole book down the line of course. The whole time I was listening to this book I could see the movie in my head. The dedication Westley has for Buttercup has always brought me joy, and been a dream to have in my own life.
