The Princess Pride


The Princess Bride, by William Goldman, is a frame story about a girl who grew up on a farm and is considered the most beautiful girl in all the world. After losing her true love she promises to never love again. This book is hard to put down, it is full of action and adventure. Since it is a frame story the author talks about his life and comments on every chapter. I personally didn't like this, but you can always skim it; it doesn't affect the story.
