A girl, Buttercup*cholks*and a farm-boy called Westley, who are in love. Sadly Westley is killed by the Dread Pirate Roberts. Buttercup is then, thinking her love is gone, engaged to Prince Humperdink(great names huh?)I can't really say much more about the plot, w/o giving it away, but here's a few words. Giants, fencing(woo hoo!)castles, duels, pirates, betrayl, True Love, high adventure, and my personal favorite...ROUS'.

The ROUS', the humor, the duels and fencing, the non-stop action, and the vividness of the characters.

gee what a surprize...nothing.

Read the "long lost sequel". Sadly it's going to be lost for longer still.

happy and amused.

likes to have his voice heard. May or may not be a real person(read the intro, or at least skim it,and you'll get what i mean)

its funny, clever, creative, and very well written.

?

if you've seen the movie read the book! See if you can get the authors secret!
