I always heard about the Phantom of the Opera, and bought it during my “paranormal romance” phase, thinking it was about an actual ghost. Yet, even when I found out it wasn’t, the story had already caught me. Leroux tells us how he found testimony and evidence to prove that the Phantom was real, and the descriptions done are sublime but not heavy. I would read it again, and I totally recommend it.
I was a little disappointed with this original story. Must say that Andrew Lloyd Webber turned it into a masterpiece!

"Poor, unhappy Erik! Shall we pity him? Shall we curse him?"
No wonder ALW read this and then proceeded to create one of the most successful Broadway shows in history. What an intriguing and complex villain. Now understanding the Phantom's backstory, I see why it's such a point of debate whether he is truly a villain or just misunderstood.
I was surprised by the humour and how well paced this was while also still feeling like a classical reading experience. At no point did I want to stop reading.
