The Princess Bride (Fox): S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure

The Princess Bride (Fox): S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure

By William Goldman

Love, death, dreams, passion, miracle, hope, fear, and fighting are all in this as Princess Buttercup fell for a farm boy, Westley but since he told her that he would go away on the ship overseas and "died". Ever since Westley's "death" had affected Buttercup harder than expected as she made a vow to never love again and she did. A prince, who have to get married, Humperdinck but the princess didn't like that prince. Then we would meet 3 legendary characters, Inigo Montoya and Fezzik who teamed up to try and rescue the princess along with Westley. Vizzini, a criminal who wants to kidnap and kill the princess. Inigo, who had the father, Domingo killed by six-fingered man set out to try and kill that guy with his ironic statement, "My name is Inigo Montoya. You've killed my father, prepare to die" which Inigo did indeed win that fight of fencing. I REALLY loved this book and movie but I now like this book since this has "additional scenes" and different perspectives. I would recommend this classic to literally everyone! - Happy Reading!

SILVER ON THE TREE.

SILVER ON THE TREE.

By Susan. Cooper

The final adventure awaits for you with Will, the youngest of the Stanton family. Finally reunited with his siblings, Simon, Barney, and Jane as they set out and fight their final battle against the Dark as the Light. Will's friend, Bran Davies also joins them on their final adventure together, saw their uncle, Merriman. As we went on those 5 crazy but also challenging adventures and quests with Will and his siblings, it's also really interesting of how those characters have evolved over last 5 books in the Dark is Rising series with both cultures of Arthurian and Welsh in the medieval era. Overall, this series are pretty good and I would recommend this for the readers who enjoy the fantasy and this is also very similar to another book series of Harry Potter as Will is the Chosen One, too. - Happy Reading!
