The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux


"The Phantom of the Opera was first published as a serialisation in Le Gaulois from September 23, 1909 to January 8, 1910.
The Phantom of the Opera lives under a famous opera house. A mere chorus girl, Christine Daae, becomes, under his guidance, a well known singer with a beautiful voice. But her old child hood sweetheart, the Vicount Raoul de Changy, has also entered the picture. The past comes back to haunt her, the future ahead is uncertain, and the present is undecided. Who will win the heart of Christine?; the handsome, rich Raoul or the masked Angel of Music? A story of romance, murder, sacrifice and sadness, this riveting, seductive tale will keep your emotions high until the very last page of the shocking conclusion." -Goodreads.com
So if you haven't heard the story of The Phantom of the Opera there is a slight chance you have lived in a bubble.
I really liked it, I knew the concept of the story but haven't watched the movie/play in several years so I was able to keep a more open mind I guess.

4 stars.
