Abridged from the original
I always loved the Princess Bride but this is not the story I remember. It's like it's an abridged version or something - edited for modern listeners. Also as much as I love Rob Reiner he isn't a great reader. There are a lot of pauses and some repeats of words as if he got a little distracted or needed to clear his throat. As good as this book is, I suspect that it's best appreciated on paper.

This is not the full book!
the entire point of this novel is to be a parody of an abridgement. They have removed almost all of the annotations and a great deal of the story, it feels like you're just reading a lengthy screenplay of the movie. Whoever decided on using this abridgement instead of the entire book really missed the mark. I enjoyed Rob Reiner's interpretation, it's slightly dispassionate and full of attitude which is perfect for the voice of the story teller, but I was really disappointed that this is the only version of The Princess Bride on Audible.

Weirdly Abridged
Oof. This is one of my favourite books and this version butchers the story. In aiming for brevity, it cuts out a lot of the good parts, fun details, and even entire side-characters. I was excited to hear Rob Reiner read but it sounds like he’s just trying to rush through it to get it done. Really disappointing.

Abridged it for no reason
The book was great, but they cut out so much if it for the audio book. If I wanted the story to fit into two hours I’d watch the movie. The performance is good.

Good enough.
I would have rather had the full version. still worth listening to. Rob Reiners accents are tough to listen to.

Great book, very close to the movie
The narrator does a fairly good job, but the way the dialog plays out is inferior to the movie.

As Wonderful As The Movie
Hearing Rob Reiner read it made it even better. I was surprised how quickly the time went, just enjoying the story
