So much darker than I had expected. Before reading the book I had seen the show on broadway and I think I expected something similar. However, the basic plot is really the only thing the two have in common. The book is much darker with more back story and explanation. Although it was so different, I enjoyed it immensly and loved the twists and turns as well as the high drama. I also really enjoyed the narrator and his outsiders perspective.

I love anything that has to do with the Phantom of the Opera and I had a fantastic time reading this.
My only critique would be that that certain scenes get cut off really quickly and I feel like it assumes you know what happens. I think the “Prima Donna” scene is the easiest example.
Still the art fit perfectly and I liked how close the dialogue stayed to the musical.

Very interesting and filled with wonderful pictures. This gives the original story even more depth.

This was really cool. There is so much about the Opera House, the many many different Phantom adaptations, Gaston, and of course the Weber version. Plus the pictures are amazing.
