This French play makes me cry each time I re-read it. The hero in this book is so courageous and you can't help but fall in love with him despite his horrific outward appearance. I love the way Rostand approaches beauty and inner beauty. Cyrano has such a beautiful soul and his rambling prose is funny, poetic and sometimes heartbreaking. I've read this play about five times and loved it each time. A funny, heartwarming story for anyone!
