Princess Bride

 As to Inigo's personal life, he was always just a trifle hungry, he had no brothers or sisters, and his mother had died in childbirth.
He was fantastically happy.
Because of his father. Domingo Montoya was funny-looking and crotchety and impatient and absent-minded and never smiled.
Inigo loved him. Totally. Don't ask why. There really wasn't any one reason you could put your finger on. Oh, probably Domingo loved him back, but love is many things, none of them logical.
Domingo Montoya made swords. If you wanted a fabulous sword, did you go to Domingo Montoya? If you wanted a great balanced piece of work, did you go to the mountains behind Toledo? If you wanted a masterpiece, a sword for the ages, was it Arabella that your footsteps led you to?
Nope.
You went to Madrid; because Madrid was where lived the famous Yeste, and if you had the money and he had the time, you got your weapon. Yeste was fat and jovial and one of the richest and most honored men in the city. And he should have been. He made wonderful swords, and noblemen bragged to each other when they owned an original Yeste.

But sometimes—not often, mind you, maybe once a year, maybe less—a request would come in for a weapon that was more than even Yeste could make. when that happened, did Yeste say, alas, I am sorry, I cannot do it? Nope. What he said was, Of course, I'd be delighted...

William Goldman's Princess Bride, Chapter 5, page 119

     I love how casually Goldman speaks. He, the man who wrote one of the best books in the world, is able to put depth and character into his tale even without it sounding boring. The story, which is full of love, death, miracles, revenge, and everything else, has description, but the way the author puts it, it is easy and enjoyable to read. Many modern authors write in a style that is clear and gets what they want to say across, but they lack description. I have found it harder to fall in love with or relate to the characters in books where there are few adjectives. Books like the Hunger Games and Divergent may be popular, but they simply do not give me that satisfaction, excitement, or enticement that every reader should feel while reading a chapter. Goldman,  who clearly has the writing style of one who knows what he is doing, made a masterpiece that truly gives the reader that special feeling. He does not overdo it like G. A. Henty, but he finds the perfect balance. I love the story of the Princess Bride and I have sincerely enjoyed everything I have read from it. I am sure everyone, lover of books or not, will truly love William Goldman's Princess Bride because of his fabulous style of writing.
