First, I have to start by saying one thing: I've seen The Princess Bride only once. 
 Granted I totally adored it from the very start but I'm fairly knew to this new-ish classics and I have to admit I did not know anything that went around this movie, and its cast. And now I'm even more in love. 
 You know, I think I'm such a good public for that kind of book, and while I know pretty much every cast ever is "a family" and has "the experience of a lifetime" (especially if you love tv-shows like me, since they work together longer, it makes more sense but is also pretty much the default answer to every interview) I believe pretty much every word Cary Elwes and the people he quoted. 
 And it's with no surprise (from myself) that I got quite teary. 
 From Cary, our charming Westley, who writes us a charming behind-the-scenes recollection tale, we got to read sweet anecdotes and "meet" such a lovely cast through his stories and quotes put together to give us a endearing book about one of the most beloved pieces of cinema (yes quoting Norman Lear's epilogue). 
 I have to give a special shoutout to William Goldman for his book, and his involment to make sure his "baby" would live to be this amazing movie. He seems to have such love for his novel it's just too sweet for me to handle without tears. 
 This guy is like my writer goal. 
 I've read Princess Bride (duhhh!) and now I'm going to go and get his other books (and maybe another copy of PB in English cause mine is in French). 
 I also loved Wally Shawn (self-imposed) obsessive comparison with Danny Devito and I guess without surprise, stories about Andre, the sweetest Giant ever. 
 The director, Rob, seems such like a good guy and this also made me wish I had a job were I could have intensive fencing lessons with masters of the art. 
 As you can see, I really loved this book. And probably could write about it, the movie and its cast forever now. I just think Cary Elwes and his co-writer Joe Layden did a great job to share this wonderful experience. 
 Cary (yep I decided I'd be on first name basis with him now) put in light each and everyone of his cast member. It's obviously written in his point of view, so we get his perspective and imput and yet it truly read as a love letter to his partners. 
 As I said earlier, I'm good public for this, maybe just because I want to believe and probably because reading this just makes me happy. 
 I just love behind-the-scenes related books and this one is really good. Even if like me, you're not an expert on The Princess Bride, you'll enjoy it, go watch the movie and then become one. 
 And probably watch the movie again a dozen times in a row. (Lucky us, it's on Netflix right now!) 
 Every person talked about in As You Wish seems to have had amazing lives and careers that is inspiring, even for someone not at all in the same business as they are, or maybe the movie making of the 80s makes me nostalgic (even if I wasn't born when they shot it ;) and has a little bit an aura. I mean, the movie industry before all the online aspect...I lived that transition and it's fascinating! And inspiring. 
 That's why I just have one last thing to say to you guys: 
 "Have fun storming the castle!"
