The Phantom of the Opera is a riveting story that revolves around the young, Swedish Christine Daaé. Her father, a famous musician, dies, and she is raised in the Paris Opera House with his dying promise of a protective angel of music to guide her. After a time at the opera house, she begins hearing a voice, who eventually teaches her how to sing beautifully. All goes well until Christine’s childhood friend Raoul comes to visit his parents, who are patrons of the opera, and he sees Christine when she begins successfully singing on the stage. The voice, who is the deformed, murderous ‘ghost’ of the opera house named Erik, however, grows violent in his terrible jealousy, until Christine suddenly disappears. The phantom is in love, but it can only spell disaster.

Comments on: "The phantom of the opera – Gaston Leroux" (1)
I recommend – the phantom of the opera (book). This book is a beautiful piece of classic Gothic literature. It follows a story about a haunting ghost in the Paris opera house in the late 1800s. It also follows the horror, love, and thrill of the Christine, Raoul, and Erik love triangle with so much happening along the way. My favourite character is Erik, even though sometimes he acts childish, I love his story throughout the book, it feels to me that he is a representation of a person’s feelings or what they actually want people to know. This is certainly not a light read but if you want to spend time reading a classic horror book this is for you! 9.5/10
