"Cyrano de Bergerac"

YAY! Looks like I get the first review post! :)

The book that I am reviewing is called "Cyrano de Bergerac" and was written by Edmond Rostand in 1897. It is actually a play that I saw performed by "Shakespeare in the Park," and it quickly became my all time favorite play!

Pros: It is available in Old English and translated, so it can be either easily read, or can be used for practice for things like Shakespeare. It is a GREAT comedy and will keep you laughing the whole entire time!

Cons: It is a play, so unless you have seen it (or have a really good imagination), it may be hard to read. It has some language...so be careful.

Overall, I think it is TOTALLY worth reading!!! It contains many great aspects, such as daring sword fights. PLUS, it includes many fun conversations between characters, making it quite fun to quote later! In the end, it is definitely worth the time it takes to read!
