5.0

The writing is beautiful and the story tragic. The multiple POVs that give glimpses into Erik's character is well written. Simply put, it is not a book I'd forget quite easily. I had devoured this book when I first read it as a teenager and now, more than a decade later, the story of the Phantom still haunts me. 
Susan Kay's storytelling is simply superb.
