2008

This is a book that I read because it was assigned in a college literature class. I read it years before the movie came out. I didn't expect to like it, but I fell in love. The original book is not labeled as written by William Goldman and I thought the whole idea of the secret author situation was cool. I love the book because it was full of surprise and held my interest throughout. I love the whole happy ending good guys wins fairytale and I thought the book seemed to have something for everyone. The whole concept is unique and I believe that makes it very special.
