I had watched the movie and I knew it was one of the best book-to-movie adaptations and yet, I didn't realise how much so!
I had a bit of trouble (with this edition in particular) figuring out what was part of the story and what wasn't, with all the interventions before, during and after of William Goldman, but once I was in the story, I couldn't get out. 💛
The final part on "Buttercup's Baby" left me more confused than ever and it sort of ruined the magic for me, but I'm more frustrated it's unfinished with so many questions!
