Review: This book is truly one of my favorites. I read it in a day or two. I just couldn't put it down. I saw the movie first, but think the book is much better. Highly recommended.

Summary: Heroic Comedy with themes about personal relationships
Review: This great story of the infamous long-nosed man, Cyrano de Bergerac, tells the tale of Cyrano's love problems. His lack of confidence in his appearance hurts his overall anxiety level. He uses a handsome cadet's, Christian's, looks to woo Roxanne with his (Cyrano's) own graceful words. While unrealistic in nature, many of the morals of the story are presented very cleverly. There are so many great lines in the play that are witty, intriguing, or just funny! A great read for anyone.

Summary: Its ending so sad and yet, it leaves us playing a happy note
Review: Words cannot describe the feeling and soul that the artist put into this work. He was, I believe, a master of writing because he was able to blend comedy along with the grief and loss of someone dear. When you first begin to read this play, I will admit that I had some difficulty with the story's plot, but it definately makes up for that! With the epic conflict of a secret lover facing the only man between him and the one whom he loves, no one can resist to keep reading. And as one woman must decide who she will choose to hold in her heart most dear, a tragedy unspeakable may bar the way for this secret lover forever.
