Cover of The Princess Bride.

Well, this was just plain funny. Great storytelling, great pacing, great everything. I caught myself looking up if William Goldman really had a son. He hasn’t, thank god.

I probably should go and watch the movie now.

Rumo

by Walter Moers · published 2003 · read 2009-07-01

★★★★☆

Rumo's sense of humour and of tropes is extremely close to Princess Bride. Just with a non-human protagonist.

Cover of Stardust.

Stardust

★★★★☆

Strangely enough, Stardust is similar to Princess Bride. Though admittedly, the similarity is more prominent in the movie version of Stardust, which in turn cannot hope to compete with the Princess Bride movie.

Cover of The Innkeeper's Song.

Similar levels of banter in places.
