The Princess Bride book can be odd, if the reader doesn't realize it's meant to be satire. Check out 1 star reviews and you'll see examples of readers who didn't "get it."
But I do agree the movie was more enjoyable.
I enjoyed Empire Falls mini series more than the book, but the book is good. I've just got a thing for Ed Harris and Paul Newman.
I like The Haunting much more as a movie, the 1963 version. The book was supposed to be scary, but I didn't get it.
