Finished it last week!

Enjoyed it; I want to watch the movie now, to see how they adapted it. Favourite character would be Inigo. :D

It wasn't really something I'd call my favourite book though. There was something which annoyed me which I can't place a finger on.

Any other opinions?

Yeah! It's by William Goldman, IIRC. If you can, get the version with his introduction. His writing is great!

that is such a craZy book... the whole fact that the "book" doesn't actually exist is craZy... you kno... if i ever wrote a novel... that idea would be my backbone... but i guess Goldman has been there done that...

sorry if i ruined it for people...
