Best Ever
Loved it so much when I was 12, but much more intense than the movie, I would not read it if you are under 12. It has some cussing such as b**** & d*** but pretty good. It is by far the best book ever, but recommended to read the book before watching the movie.

An Instant Classic
After so much begging, my sister finally convinced me to read this book. Unlike the movie, it is a bit darker but still delivers. I like the unique format of the writing. It can be a bit violent and suspenseful, but nothing an older kid can't handle. There isn't any sexuality other than kissing. I was rather shocked by the swear words mustered by the young boy. Honestly, I would've soaped his mouth. Overall, this book is a great combination of clean romance, action, and heart with a hint of humor.

It was an interesting book for sure :)
I had to read this for 9th grade. I think it is fun and intriguing! The charters are all different and there are definitely some plot twists!

Very Suspensful
The Princess Bride is a very suspenseful book. I love how you can never tell what is going to happen next, it really keeps you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. I also liked it when you knew something that the characters in the book did not and you couldn’t know whether or not the character was going to act correctly without knowing the key information that you do know.

Great Book For Tweens and Teens
I loved this book. I saw the movie (it's now my favorite movie) and I decided to read the book. I think it was excellent.

Can I say that I ABSOLUTELY love this book?! :3
The Princess Bride is a book that changed my life. It is a truly amazing work and I would recommend it to people who understand gore(blood) and higher vocabulary than you think. When I started reading this book, I fell in love with it and could be reading for hours on end without taking a single break. I still kind of hated the part when characters die in the story (especially Westley, even if he revived). This book made my imagination run wild as I read it, as if I was in the story myself, pretending I could be Buttercup the Lovesick Princess or Westley the Epic and Brave Knight.

Complete and utter..... AWESOMENESS!!!!!
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a girl who does not like violence, but LOVES romance! This is packed with action, but not a lot of blood. There r some swear words. The b word, s word, d word but that's about it! It is an older book so it is kinda confusing. It's best to read it in a group! Inigo drinks for a couple pages but not that bad to really be worried about it. There is an intense if not FREAKY sword duel between two of the main characters at the end, shows a characters haunting past, a couple kisses between the two main characters, and it's also PACKED with comedy!!!!!! This book is EPIC!

Characters
It's really enjoyable and has high adventure. It does show that life isn't always fair and that I find is really interesting. I've read 175 books, I think... mm, I need to look at my list again, and this is incredible. Buttercup doesn't even realise she's in love until she get jealous of someone else looking. Westley is really cool, I mean he knows Dread Pirate (for those who've read, don't give it away). Fezzik is a cuddle bun and Inigo is a revenge machine.
