A classic Gothic horror that's full of suspense!

Although I may be one of few readers to dislike the Opera Ghost, I did absolutely love this story. It took a couple of chapters for the pace to pick up, but once it did, I was hooked. The final chapters are especially thrilling and I love that the book features all the classic elements of a Gothic horror.

I must admit to being clueless. I didn't even know this was a book.

Now that I am familiar with the book and, having also seen the musical, I have to say I definitely prefer the book. It is a little bit ridiculous. It would have been better if the back stories were more developed. It actually should be much longer. Even with these shortcomings, though, it's tons better than the musical.
