The Phantom was truly creepy in this version and not sexy at all. While I do enjoy the more sexy twisted version in the book version was very interesting to learn about.
All the characters do pale a bit in comparison to the musical. But it was also interesting to get some extra context on inspirations for the musical.
The writing, especially the dialogue was a bit bad at times but I'm not sure if that's just how it is or how the translation is seeing as the original novel was in French. Or perhaps a bit of both.
I wouldn't recommend this book unless you are a fan of the musical or movie because honestly if I had read this without being a big fan of the musical I'd probably have dnf it but I only enjoyed it a bit due to the musical.

Qué puedo decir que no se haya dicho ya. Simplemente que ME HA ENCANTADO. Si bien es cierto que al principio me costó un poco sumergirme en la lectura por la forma en la que estaba escrito, enseguida logras meterte de lleno en la narración y en la historia. La crítica social que hay dentro de este libro es maravillosa, de hecho, una de las reflexiones principales con las que me he quedado bien podía verse reflejado en nuestra sociedad actual, porque sigue (y seguirá) pasando.
El Fantasma de la Ópera es el carisma que me gustaría ver en cada libro, en cada personaje. Siendo el protagonista indiscutible cuando ni siquiera está narrado ningún capítulo por él. El arco de crecimiento del personaje es increíble. ¡Qué evolución!
Christine Daaé es un personaje fuerte, madura y valiente, a pesar de su corta edad. Me ha sorprendido gratamente, ya que pensaba que su actuación iba a ser de otra manera.
SUPER RECOMENDADO. Disfrutad de lo que ofrece, aunque no sea "narrativamente perfecto" porque no le hace falta.
