The Phantom of the Opera Review

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I’ve grown up loving Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” so recently I decided to give the book a try. I actually had no idea there was a book until my trip to Paris when we visited the famous opera house.

This was a nice, short read after taking on the 850+ book in my prior post. I was surprised to see that the story is written as if it is a historical biography instead of a novel. The main point of view throughout the book is written from the author’s narrative instead of a characters. It was slightly weird at first but I soon got caught in the wonders of the mysterious Opera ghost. I loved the background info the reader is given about the Opera ghost aka Erik. If you enjoyed the musical and like to read, I would recommend this book to you.
