Another reread, another buddy read. This whole month I've been infected by the phantom. From watching different screen adaptations to listening to the Andrew Lloyd Webber soundtracks every single day (that I'm sure my neighbours are getting tired of by now), it makes sense that I'm gravitating towards the original source: Gaston Leroux's novel.
What a blast it was to be in the opera house again. To be swept up by the emotions of these three main characters (Raoul, Christine, and Erik), and having the soundtracks run in the background of my mind. In just two sessions, we devoured this book. The possessiveness, the desperation, the fear and love and jealousy. It was downright delectable and I enjoyed every minute of it.
