First of all after reading this book i'm genuinely concerned for the people attracted to the Phantom. He is quite literally an incel. Secondly, Andrew Lloyd Webber, why did you think a musical sequal to this book was necessary. Anyway, i did have a really good time reading this book, it was the perfect read for the temperatures that were/are getting colder and the rain that's falling more often

Questo romanzo mi ha trovato del tutto impreparata, non avevo mai visto né i film né mai letto la trama o riferimenti sparsi. E devo dire che è stato tutto un po' strano.
La storia è molto bella, sicuramente atipica ed indubbiamente l'autore ha fatto un enorme lavoro di studio e di approfondimento sull'Opera di Parigi ma in alcuni punti la narrazione l'ho trovata caotica per me quindi ammetto di essermi persa e di essere tornata indietro per rileggere.
Ho trovato la storia d'amore e la vicenda del mostro molto tristi e lacrimevoli, spesso però anche troppo (non mi piacciono le storie d'amore troppo drammatiche lo ammetto).
Non do un voto troppo alto semplicemente perché sono dovuta alle volte tornare sui miei passi.

You're telling me the ghost wasn't real???

This was a really fun read, VERY melodramatic, very dark.
For me it was quite balanced in the way the characters were unlikable but not enough to despise them completely,

even Erik. I just couldn't take him seriously at all and he just made me laugh. The way he talks and acts, the ghost role-playing, the weird-ass traps, the SUDDEN ALL CAPS BECAUSE HE'S VERY EMOTIONAL OKAY. I just found him funny. Am I the odd one here? 😅 Still, poor Christine, she did NOT deserve any of that.
