Book & Review Forums: The Phantom of the Opera
Yay, first review
I loved this book, and everything related to it. It's translated from French, I probably would have gotten much more from it if I understood French and read the book the way it was originally published.
I love how the book is written as if Leroux were documenting a case. I don't know if the footnotes are added with the installments.
I read it while in the hospital, made it much more tolerable. I also reccomend Susan Kays book, though it's not on this website.

This is one of my favorites, also. Sadly it is overlooked because of the movie and stage versions of it, a case of over-exposure from other sources. I found it lushly evocative and purely entertaining.
