The story is a dark tale of a man with an unnatural, disturbing mind. The horrifying drama his actions bring about and the fright they cause leave you quite frantic. However, Leroux injects a little humor to assuage the grim atmosphere. Thus, despite the gravity and shocking wickedness so nakedly portrayed, I had quite a laugh too.

Although the book was not what I expected, it was nevertheless an interesting read in itself. Irrespective of the darker subject matter, I did enjoy the story pretty much. On reflection, I'm glad that it was a complex horror story, coupled with a bit of romance, and not a simple love story.

I remember when I first heard of this story and I instantly wanted to read it. I tried but I just gave up after reading the first chapter. I just picked it up again and I at first I wanted to quit for good but I carried on and then I was engrossed in the story and just wanted to read this all the time. This book got me so invested and now I actually want to read more classic books. I hope they have a plot and characters just as interesting

All I can say is the book is way, way better than the musical (I don't like the music)!

It's ok.But why all the fuss about it?
