A review by fuyukko
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
2.0
I was excited to read this because I watched thr musical over 10 years ago when it came to my home country, and in a few weeks I'll be watching it in London. I'm a firm believer of "the book was better" (except for maybe brigerton) but this wasn't for me.
The first half was okay, a bit draggy. The second half lost me almost entirely. I ended skimming most of the end. I think I'd rather read a summary before I watch the musical again.
The writing was kind of confusing too.
I've read gothic fiction one other time before, and I'm starting to think it's just not for me...
Honestly I'd rather read fantasy. I'll leave the phantom of the opera as a musical in my memory. Maybe in the future, I might be able to appreciate this more.
