The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
5.0

It feels like a classic, in the best way, I enjoyed the social and mental complexity of it all a lot. It felt like a writer insert at some points which was interesting of a writing style. Even though I first encountered the play performed at my University, I do feel a deeper connection to the story even more now after reading the original vision. After all, it takes a harder look at society of the time and the constant judgmental system it was and still is, and allows someone to out smart them all with brazen creativity. Amazing. The story is both an adventure and a reflective think piece.
