"The Princess" Is Not Destined To Be A "Bride!", Time to Do "Battle!"

I give up! After months of trying, I just cannot stomach another chapter of this horribly edited book!!!!!!!!!!!! "The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure" is horribly edited and abridged!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one time I can honestly say I enjoyed the movie more than I enjoyed the book!!!!!!!!!! I don't think I even read 100 pages before all the italicized notes got on my nerves! After awhile, I just gave up! I've seen the movie, I know the story! So why waste my time on a book that I am clearly not enjoying? My time could be better spent reading the latest book by my favorite author, Richard Paul Evans! The 3rd book in the series, "Michael Vey: Battle of the Ampere," just arrived in the mail, courtesy of Wal-Mart! (Thank God I had that gift card!) For those who have been following the story, Michael, Taylor, & Ostin have destroyed the largest of the Elgen Starxource plants, but now the kids are scattered across the Amazon jungle. The Elgen have joined forces with the Peruvian army, and only Michael has managed to remain free. With his friends due to stand trial for terrorism--a charge that may carry the death penalty--Michael will need all his wits and his abilities if he's to save them. Meanwhile, Dr. Hatch and his loyal electric children have seized control of the ES Ampere--the superyacht the Elgen use as their headquarters. With the Elgen fleet under his control, Hatch heads back to Peru to pick up his army and begin his quest for global domination. Michael will have to free his friends, then find a way to stop Hatch, but the organization that has guided him has been compromised. Hatch knows Michael and the Electroclan are coming. And he's ready. Can the Electroclan win the battle of the Ampere? Or has Michael's luck finally run out?" I hope not, but there's only one way to find out!!!!!!!!!!!! Time for a (hopefully more enjoyable than the last) "Journey Through A Book!"
