Quote	"Oh, if I had such an interpreter who could translate the language of my heart!"
Review	I was halfway through this depressing yet entertaining book when my little grade-school niece comes walking into the room. "What're you reading?" she asks. I show her the book and she casually responds, "Oh yeah. He dies." I scolded, "Samantha! Are you telling me that the main character dies?" She shrugged and said, "Yeah." Aunt Jenny then educated little Samantha on literary etiquette, how it's wrong to spill the beans like that. She laughed the whole while. I did too. I did, though, appreciate the fact that she even knew who Cyrano de Bergerac was. How many little grade-school kids do or care? I credit her parents.
