A surprisingly simple to read play, with a surprisingly delightful story.
Perhaps its because I am more used to reading Shakespeare, but I was not expecting something so, well, funny.
Cyrano is self deprecating, and deals with a self esteem issue that everyone faces at one point or another. He is witty, and the story is very entertaining, if short.

I liked this book better than the other books I had to read for Honors English. This is a really fun and exciting play. I would read it just for fun if i wanted to!

Je crois qu'on appelle ça l'amour. Je suis en telle adoration que je ne même plus vendre ce bouquin objectivement.

Je n'ai pas les mots pour dire à quel point j'aime cette pièce. Après toutes ces lectures, je me retrouve à rire, pleurer, soupirer aux mêmes endroits.
Lisez la.

The first time I read this was years and years ago, and while I enjoyed it, I was really too young to absorb much more than the basic storyline. My second encounter with Cyrano, however, came over IHOP pancakes as a good friend of mine read the entire play aloud, complete with voices and director's asides about stage setting and the actors. An unforgettable experience, certainly, but as amazing as it was, it was still truly Cyrano's story that gripped me. And it was Brian Hooker's translation---gorgeous, lush, evocative---that brought the play to stirring, poignant life. Cyrano de Bergerac is a beautiful piece, and I have no doubt threads of its story and its words will stay with me for a long time to come.
