A review by vallehlg
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
3.0
The Phantom was born with 'all his majestic ugliness' and really made it everyones problem. Poor, unhappy Eric, what a loser.
The plot itself is obviously interesting, I like the kind of playful writing style and I'm very happy that I read it. It just wasn't really engaging, with too much focus on really trivial things while the important and interesting moments were mostly just summarised.
I don't need 2 chapters describing a torture chamber, I would rather have more of Eric panicking (and dying) because of a forehead kiss.
