Take a very long, very boring text with some redeeming qualities and cut out all the
mind numbing
stuff and you'll have a
Good Parts Version
of it. The most famous
Good Parts Version
of anything was
William Goldman
's version of the
S. Morgenstern
classic,
The Princess Bride
. Actually, Goldman's grandfather (?) created the first condensed version when he read it to him as a child. Goldman was shocked that when he managed to find the book and give it to his son, he hated it. After Will read it himself, he realised what his father had done. He then put his own
Good Parts Version
into the book we all
know and love
. It seems that
Morgenstern
's original manuscript can no longer be found, leading to people claiming that neither the book nor Morgenstern himself every existed. How silly.
