The book is - together with a tiara - on the way to the winner of the "Tiara Sweepstakes": nimrodiel (USA).
This got here safely. I have had several bookcrossing friends read this over the past year and highly recomend it, so I am looking firward to reading this book.
As a fan of both the film and the movie whose first exposure to the story was through the movie as a pre-teen back in the late 1980's I really enjoyed this book. I wished it was longer as I found myself racing through the memior. I thought it excelently laid out and the inclusions of memoirs of filming from his fellow actors and director Rob Reiner a great enhancement of Elwes narrative.
Thank you so much for sending this as a tiara sweeps prize. It had been on my to get and eventually read wishlist since another bookcrossing acquantence recomended it last year.
