As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of the Princess Bride by Cary Elwes, 259 pages.
Elwes' very focused memoir follows the making of the cult classic film The Princess Bride from it's earliest stages through to the twenty-fifth anniversary reunion of the cast. To give a more complete picture, many of his former cast members also offer their own memories and thoughts of the makings of the film. In the excellent audiobook, which I listened to, most of these cast members also offered their voices to tell their own stories.Although the making of this movie honestly didn't sound particularly wild, I quite enjoyed this book anyway. There was something very relaxing about a group of people gushing about how much they liked each other and how much fun they had making a movie I love. This is a very kind book, and I found it very soothing to listen to. I would recommend it for fans of the movie, or for people interested in the movie making process generally, as Elwes does a very good job covering pretty much every aspect of the making of the movie.
