As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride​, Cary Elwes' account of the making of the iconic film, ​The Princess Bride​ warmed my heart. ​The Princess Bride​ is one of my all-time favorite stories, so knowing that the movie's cast enjoyed making the film as much as I enjoy watching it is charming. The small excerpts from other actors and directors were interesting to read as they provided different sides to the stories Elwes was retelling. Perhaps the most touching entries were about Andre the Giant; I believe he was truly the favorite of all of his castmates and the crew that worked with him.

Most of all, I enjoyed the new look I got into The Princess Bride​, the actors' and crew's dedication and love for each other truly explains why the film is so heart-warming. Elwes had nothing negative to say about the making of the film, and I have nothing negative to say about this book.
