The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
2.0

2.5 stars- for such a melancholy musical, I didn’t expect this book to be so… ridiculous. Half of the novel was completely unnecessary and the Phantom was written so “cartoonish evil” that I couldn’t take it seriously. Also, how was The Persian, who was arguably the best character in the whole novel, not make it into the musical at all?
