Summary: I HEART ERIK
Comment: I bought this book on a whim and read it when I had nothing better to do, and it exceeded my expectations by far!
Its one of my favorite books, and at fourteen, I've read quite a lot.
The 19th century atmosphere didn't phase me at all (maybe because I've read Les Miserables?), though I suppose it might be difficult for some.
The book was well-crafted. I enjoyed Leroux's style; it was interesting to read it as if it really happened. It made it more relavent; if he had written it as if it were just some random made-up story, I don't think I would have been interested.
Some characters were a bit flat, but many were quite good, I thought.
Daee (Christine's father- a dead character, but a major one) and Mme Valerius were interesting.
I love the managers. The relationship they have with each other and the previous managers is great; I always enjoy reading the bits about them.
Madame Giry was wonderful too- I love how she wisely tells everything that she knows (lol).
Erik, the Phantom, was a satisfyingly deep and complex character. In fact, he's one of my favorite characters of all time! I find him fascinating.
Its very complicated- I had to read it twice to fully understand everything.
Its an excellent, exciting, mind-gripping book that made me cry at the end. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: The Phantom of the Opera
Comment: I just love the phantom of the opera.It takes place in Paris,France which I would love to see someday.Erik A.K.A the phantom is a outcast,because he was born wrong.I felt so sorry for him that people treat him differently.People called him names like monster,freak,loser.I would treat him with care,respect,treat him as a friend even though his looks are hideous.It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside,all that matters is what's on the inside.At least someone cared for him.That was Christine Daae.But I just loved it.They say the play is just as good as the book.I cried at the end when Christine left Erik,for Raoul.I think that was just sad.But I got really scared when the chandelier came down on them.I would rate this book as a 5 star book!
Rating: 4
Summary: excellent story
Comment: the story was quite well-written. i love the tone of the narrator...and leroux quite mastered the art of suspense. it was very enojyable, and i believe it went at a perfect pace. the plot was great, and one can not help but form a connection with "poor, unhappy erik"..or the "opera ghost". the reason i chose to give it only 4 stars is because, as hard as i tried, i could not interest myself in raoul and christine's love affair. they did not intrigue me in the least...and i was quite indifferent towards them. other than that it was an excellent read.
