The Phantom of the Opera
by Gaston Leroux
The "Opera Ghost" keeps signing his letters OG which has a whole new meaning 100+ years (and American audience) on
Every time I see it I giggle. Ghost is causing havoc like a real O. G. ?
This book is very quick paced and clippy for a classic. While there is not a lot of action the dialogue and characters decisions keep the story propelling forward. It was easy to fly through the pages. Beyond this I am unsure how much I will retain from the story. The idea of the story is obviously resonating through the years -creepy old man becomes obsessed with young girl and ruins lives - and I don't mean his looks, the man lives underground and pretends to be a ghost; I had a hard time finding empathy for the characters. I am unsure if that is due to the pacing, poor translation, or the time period I am reading it in.
