The Phantom of the Opera, with eBook Audiobook

" I must say that I prefer the movie. The book does have its place, however. It wasn't really easy to get into, but it is a wonderful example of gothic literature. "

" It was a long time ago that I read this... in one night. That's how much I loved it. I simply could not put it down until I had savoured every last drop. And will do so again, I am certain! I tried then to read it in the original French. But alas, no joy lolol :D "

" I was required to read this book in high school. I loved re-reading it. Excelent mix of love, adventure and mutilated psycopath. "

" Don't expect the musical because this isn't it. But it's a brilliant read (from what I can remember from the age of 14.) "

" I read this book once and i liked it so much that I want to read it again. And i stared it over again. It is a mistery and romnace book. It is so well-written. I liked it because it is a misterious book. it contains romance and misteries. Erik is my favourite character of this book because it is misterius and he is in love with the main female character. In my point of view it is a very interesting book! Need-to-red book! "

" I read this in the fifth grade and it's still wonderful. "

" This book becomes the running theme for my Roseblood books. It will always be the greatest source of inspiration as well as the play modeled after the book. Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford will never die! "

" I started reading this because I heard a great dance remix of an Andrew Lloyd Weber song. Now, as a shameless lover of outrageously dramatic stories of obsession and torment, I can't stop thinking about the Opera Ghost and how it could be possible to write such an engaging novel when the only three elements of your story are a reclusive monster, a helpful deus ex machina, and a big, stormy ocean of hubris. "

" This is a wonderful story and answers many questions the musical can not - however saying that it also leaves more questions unanswered. Always sad but an insight into the soul of the man known as the phantom, incredible descriptions of the cruelty and discrimination he suffered but also an amazing love story. Very erotic in places and other times very, very dark. A very good book I have read at least 3 times. "

" It's rare that I see a movie before reading the book, which was the case with this one. It is NOT rare, however, for me to prefer the book, which was also the case. I wasn't actually expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. It's a lot deeper than the movie, and the sections detailing the underground of the Opera house, in particular, are great. "

" Quite different from the musical. The novel is much more creepy, sinister, elaborate, and mysterious. The Phantom, though a monster, is a victim of his circumstances. Aren't we all? Still his choices were poor ones, he still somewhat redeems himself as a human because of love and compassion. "

" I love the story of the Phantom of the Opera but I didn't not like the writing style of Gaston Leroux. I am glad I took the time to finally read the original book. "

" it was boring in the beginning and i was really close to just leaving it undread. But i chose not to and kept reading on. At the end it gets really interesting though and i did like it. "

" One of my favorite books, musicals and movies of all time!!! "

" This book was good but different from the stage play, which I didn't really expect. Also, I had a hard time getting through parts of this book just because everyone had SO MANY EMOTIONS all the time. Everyone was always in the throws of love or the pits of despair. It was hard to read at times. "

" I've read it multiple times...first when i was 7-didn't 'Reall' y get it that young but still loved it right away. Re-read it every so often...still like it "

" Quite a few of the characters are reasonably whiny. It also seems to take a long time for the main story to set in. "

" Very nice but completely different from the movie. Still, I really liked it! "

" Love the phantom. He's so much cooler than Andrew Llyod Weber could ever dream up. "

" I read the Leonard Wolf translation, which I highly recommend. More complete and accurate in translation than the "popular," most widely-cirulated translation based on the first edition produced in 1911. "

" The original tale. Much darker than the play! Leans more to horror than romance. "

" I have read this novel a lot. "

" It was a long time ago that I read this... in one night. That's how much I loved it. I simply could not put it down until I had savoured every last drop. And will do so again, I am certain! I tried then to read it in the original French. But alas, no joy lolol :D "

" Introductions and appendices in my edition (Barnes & Nobles Classics) as fascinating as the novel itself. "

" I... Tolerate this book... It's not my favorite, but it's alright "

" Might be a rare case where the movie (Lloyd Webber's) was actually better than the book, but that's all about the music, and beautiful acting. Interesting though to see what parts of the book they included in the production,and which ones were changed or omitted. "

" loved it so, so much...definitely gonna be added to my favorites..and will be read again. :) "

" Found this book pretty entertaining. Always enjoy books that give you a taste of another culture and time period. The story bound in mystery format kept you wanting to read more. "

" I really enjoyed it, felt the Phantom was a good antagonist for Raoul. There were parts that were a little difficult to follow, only because I couldn't understand what was being described (especially the scens under the opera house). "

" This is my most read book of all time at 5X, saw the play 2X, have the movie and soundtracks. It was either an obsession for a while or a sign of instability, lol, but I have moved on since.... "

" Book was different than what I had expected, maybe because I had seen the movie so many times, but the book was good and explained the characters a lot more. "

" The narrator did an excellent job. I enjoyed listening to the book. "

" Since I have never seen the movie or play associated with this book, I went into this with only a vague idea of what the story was supposed to be about. It ended up being an enjoyable, engrossing read though, and I can understand why is is a classic. "

" like all 19th century books, this takes a while to get going, but when it does it's an excellent read. "

" The musical is way better than the original book. The author didn't seem for me at least to be able to paint you a picture with words. I found alot of the book to be ambitious but Leroux fell a little short. "

" I enjoyed the book and now I can't wait to see the broadway performance in New York only 3 weeks away. "

" Why can't anyone be nice to the phantom! I mean, come on, he's only mean when no one is listening and when the plot and storyline comes to it. He falls in love with Christine and all, but he seems nice to me. All he needs is someone who cares about him and he could be a good phantom and not hurt so many people. "

" I love the story of the Phantom of the Opera but I didn't not like the writing style of Gaston Leroux. I am glad I took the time to finally read the original book. "

" I like this book, expecially the movie its very detiled and a little sppoky and just very fasinateing im so glad I am reading this book! "

" One of my favorite books of all time "

" I read it in one sitting so that's probably why it felt so fast-paced. Even if that wasn't the case, it was really fast and events came up abrupt to me. It's still a good story worth one's time. "

" Loved this book. Made sense of bits of the Musical and added to some of the magic. "

" I'm sorry to have to give this only 3. I made the mistake of falling in love with Webber's stage production. This just didn't live up to the version already implanted. Maybe I fell more in love with the music than the drama. "

" Simply classic!! Yes, this is literature, but it's a great romantic read with a dark edge. "

" I loved this book! It is a wonderful love story! "

" This book was great, I suggest it to anyone who want a romantic mystery. "

" As a lover of the musical I was disappointed with the novel itself, but it is something I may come back to now that I'm older than when I original read it. "

" Makes the play/movies look shallow. "

" One of the classic who-done-it/horror stories. Actually it is more of a how-he-done-it. The famous book is a delight to read, full of surprises and well written. "

" The book was a lot different to what I expected after only knowing the Andrew Lloydd Webber musical. I was so suprised to find a very typical sort of 'fin de siecle' tale which was very gothic, much darker than I expected. If you like Poe, or Jekyll and Hyde, or Dracula then this is worth a read. "

" This was a classic that, as usual, surpassed all of the versions in other media (Broadway, musicals, etc.) with its complexity and more than anything else, atmosphere. Much better than anything the others can offer. "

" This book is definitely a classic for a reason. Full of mystery, intrigue and suspense. Well worth a read. "

" I just watched the movie version of the Broadway musical (a great theater experience, a terrible movie) and decided to re-read the book that started it all. I hadn't read it since high school so I downloaded it to my kindle and read the whole thing last night. What a terrific example of ninteenth century horror! I am going to revisit some of my other favorites now including Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Portrait of Dorian Grey. I am a sucker for these gothic and grand guignol stories. "

" So beautiful and so tragic. Phantom is one of my all time favourite books. "

" I was not expecting this to be such a suspenseful book, but I couldn't put it down. Very good book, but don't expect to read just what is in the musical, the book is much deeper than that. "

" Loved it! I was super surprised. The book was exciting the whole time and I loved the way it was narrated. Brilliant. "

" Classic story and as good as the play! "

" I had never seen this as a play or a movie, so I figured I would give it a shot. I loved it! While it was creepy and gloomy, I loved the suspense and romanticism of the "Opera Ghost." Reading this definitely made me want to see this performed. Two thumbs up! "

" My dirty, shameful, love. The musical is not accurate to the story, most accurate movie version is silent Lon Cheney. Old Frenchman is deformed and ugly. Stalks and steals girl. Girl meets young handsome hero, who saves girl from old deformed stalker. "

" For some reason, I decided this summer to read the other two original "monster" novels: Stoker's Dracula and Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera. Of course, the other one is Shelley's Frankenstein. Taking on this task probably has more to do with my purchasing, assembling, and gruesomely painting the entire set of the plastic Aurora monster models as a pre-teen than it did with any literary interest, yet I find my response is primarily literary. I read Frankenstein decades ago, and I was impressed by the fusion of themes, ideas, and action that made the book a compelling read and the occasion for thoughtful reflection on the nature and consequences of creation and creators. Both Dracula and Phantom were less impressive. One reason is both authors's implementation of the dreary mechanism of validating the narrative by inventing "plausible" ways to provide important story information: journals, newspaper accounts, interviews, and other "documentation" ostensibly to allow readers to suspend disbelief and entertain the tale as the tale entertains them. Although others require such coy fibbing to accept the validity of a narrative, even to the point of being satisfied by the words "Based on a True Story" before a novel or a film, for me a story is a story. No matter how much of a story is "based" on anything actual, it is still "made up," and being "made up" does not in any way lessen my enjoyment of the story. As a result, I find the "lumber" of verification tedious, and I pity the contortions of plot and verisimilitude that verification requires of an author. Strike one for the Count and Opera Ghost. Oddly, another bad pitch concerning Leroux that is not an objection I actually share but might be raised by a more traditional reader is that this novel wanders; there are large and odd digressions in this tale that might infuriate those who expect a "straight" narrative (such as the ridiculous deliberations and arguments of the two managers, the fairly unnecessary explorations of Erik's previous life, and the torturous description of the torture and incredible (in the original sense of unbelievable) sufferings of the Persian and Raoul), the kind of objection that might be raised against my own novel, Burn & Learn, which is otherwise more different than similar, and I find that as amusing as I found Leroux's digressions. Ball one for the Opera Ghost. A minor point for the block-headed reader might be that the words "Phantom of the Opera," which really is a compelling title for the novel, and just a cool name to be known by, never appear in the text, where Erik is called "Opera Ghost" or known by his own name. Strike two for Erik. The characters in the novel also suffer from HIS (hyper-intensity syndrome), which means men and women with the tale constantly over-react to the smallest events; that is just annoying. Strike three for the Phantom. Is he out? Well, yes, but strangely, I still recommend the book for two reasons. One: we really should know the original tale from which so much silliness has been made. At least this novel has the dignity of priority and innocence of the future that makes the tale worth reading. My second reason is really the reason I am writing this review, and I cannot underscore its significance enough: I love this tale for the author's relentless devotion to "unmasking," in every sense, the supernatural. In every case, Leroux goes far out of his way to legitimize as comprehensible and thoroughly explain EVERY SINGLE manifestation of the supposed supernatural. Not one event believed by characters in the story to be supernatural is allowed by the author to remain so. I found that skepticism and rationalism refreshing, so much so that it made me pity the tale-spinners of today who feel that they must make their stories plausible by insisting the supernatural is "real." Leroux's genuine interest in providing explanations for what might appear to be supernatural is a laudable goal, and for that, I thank him. Even now, I wonder if such a story about a really ugly sociopath like this one would even get off the ground today, without the trappings of otherworldly claptrap to "validate" the tale. Leroux seems to say that beneath the fancy, dimming accoutrements of fantasy is the ugly face of everyday quotidian existence, but at least that is real, and that, here and now, is what we must deal with. "

" it was a good but i love the movie better than this i was always correcting it, but i also told myself the book came before the movie "

" Ultimately one of my favorite books so far. "

" Genius. Better than the play/musical. "

" Good story until the slapped on ending. "

" this is the coolest book ever! "

" AWEEEEEESOME 8D!!! XDDDDDDD (currao currao el comentario, oyes) "

" it was a good read overall but i can't get off the feeling that the ending was hastily decided/ended. "

" I read this book my freshman year and though it was a little hard to get through at times, it was wonderful and I loved it. If you like old-school, classic novels, you'll love it. "

" This was so entertaining and exciting! I loved the phantom the whole way through "

" I cried for the angel of music. "

" I read it in one sitting so that's probably why it felt so fast-paced. Even if that wasn't the case, it was really fast and events came up abrupt to me. It's still a good story worth one's time. "

" The Phantom was rather a whiney, weak character. I was a little disapointed in how he was portrayed. I felt that the liberty Andrew Lloyd Webber took made the character so much stronger and more interesting. I still enjoyed the story, but it wasn't as exciting as I had hopped. "

" AWEEEEEESOME 8D!!! XDDDDDDD (currao currao el comentario, oyes) "

" what a beautiful ending <3 "

" Much better than the musical, but it's not secret that I'm not really a fan of that. I was pleasantly surprised by the entire thing but particularly the climax to the resolution. And the complexity of Erik. In the book he really is a crazy genius. In the musical he's just crazy...with a mask. "

" I had to watch the play that, unfortunately yet entertainingly, did not do the book any justice! "

" Yep it's official...I love the book as much as the movie!!!! Great story to read and good to watch. "

" I've read it multiple times...first when i was 7-didn't 'Reall' y get it that young but still loved it right away. Re-read it every so often...still like it "

" Absolutely enjoyed this, such a classic for fans! "

" If you are a fan of the Broadway musical or the movie than this book will let you down. Leroux provides the barebones of the story with less drama and romance than I was expecting, but there are some important characters and events that were overlooked and excluded from the latter mediums. "

" This book is truly an amazing twist of art, music, mystery, adventure, and the unnatural. I couldn't put this book down! This is a classic. I wouldn't recommend it for elementary at all. However, this is a book that is dear to my heart and puts the movies to shame! "

" A book that we used for English Literature during lower form in secondary school. The usage of mesmerizing words captured me so much back then. And still loving it ;D "

" A beautiful, haunting, engaging book that I didn't want to put down. "

" The film is much more intriguing. "

" This book was good but different from the stage play, which I didn't really expect. Also, I had a hard time getting through parts of this book just because everyone had SO MANY EMOTIONS all the time. Everyone was always in the throws of love or the pits of despair. It was hard to read at times. "

" I read the book after watching the play, but the play really captured the book's atmosphere beautifully. This is cheesy gothic romance at its absolute best. A total guilty pleasure of a read. :D "

" I had to watch the play that, unfortunately yet entertainingly, did not do the book any justice! "

" It's ok. I liked the story in itself very much, brilliantly creative, but I liked the way of story-telling a little less. I guess I'm not such a big fan of mystery novels.. "

" Why did it get a 2 stars? Because it was my school literature and I suffer so much for it. But beside that, it's a really sad story. I thought the ending was rather biase. i wanted the phantom to win. The female lead is just annoying >:( "

" I've read it multiple times...first when i was 7-didn't 'Reall' y get it that young but still loved it right away. Re-read it every so often...still like it "

" I just loved this story. I have read it several times and for me it never gets old... "

" The play is a gazillion times better, but only because of the music. I've always found the plot rather lacking in substance. Not to mention, Christine is a fluff-brain. "

" So hard to read, I had to stop. Stick with the musical. "

" I love the Webber musical. Some of the story elements are in this book, but the narrative style is very baroque and gets in the way of the story. "

" Somewhere in the middle of reading it, I slept. However the story is good. Gaston leroux did a great job in making it near-realistic and believable in appeal. "

" Good book! A lot of French from what I can remember. Want to read again! "

" A very emotional story. I sympathize with Erik a lot. It's a shame that he was not accepted because of how he looks though he has so many special talents. It shows people's shallowness. They prefer a handsome Raoul over a 'monstreous' Erik. "

" I was not expecting this to be such a suspenseful book, but I couldn't put it down. Very good book, but don't expect to read just what is in the musical, the book is much deeper than that. "

" Loved this book - a wonderful love story "

" So beautiful and so tragic. Phantom is one of my all time favourite books. "

" Word cannot describe how much I love this book, so I'm not going to try besides saying I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. "

" I was not really a fan. For a classic, I expected richer language and a more complex detailing of the story. "

" I read this in the fifth grade and it's still wonderful. "

" My all-time favorite book. I've been reading this (over and over) since I was about 13. "

" Intense! Much darker than the movie or musical. "

" Genius. Better than the play/musical. "

" I pretty much fell inlove with this book from page 1. Its a romance mixed with some 'horror' and i loved everything about it. "

" great love story that flows from the beginning till the end "

" The Opera Ghost is a complicated and tragic character and this book is one multi-layered, complex love story! "

" This is an amazing story in itself. It is a book for anyone who loves music to read. The plot is imaginative and nail-biting at times, even if you know the story. I will read for the third time eventually. "

" Makes the play/movies look shallow. "

" I loved it because it helped me understand the production. "

" Soo different from the movie, better I think. As usual. "

" Saw the musical a few years ago; would love to see it again now that I've read the book. "

" I must say that I prefer the movie. The book does have its place, however. It wasn't really easy to get into, but it is a wonderful example of gothic literature. "

" I struggled with this. I didn't like it at all. "

" A favorite from my childhood. The tale is truly timeless, and I never tire of reading it. "

" A good classic which the famous musical is based on. It is very atmospheric and scarier than the musical but I sometimes found the writing style a bit overbearing and hard to get in to. "

" The Phantom of the Opera...love the book, the movie, the songs! "

" Wow! I can't believe I had to add this edition. I own it. I love it. It's a beautiful work of art. "

" I read this before watching the musical or even the scarier movie version. Though I am a fan of the musical, the book was best at telling a sad story. "

" Truly a masterpiece of Gaston Leroux. Finding out how the Phantom did his acts really made my brain work overtime. "

" So as I love this musical, I decided it was time to read the book. I'm not a big "classics" person, but I did enjoy this - even though Christine and Raoul were pretty much morons. "

" An interesting book by French playboy Gaston Leroux combining various elements such as horror, detective stories, drama and history, Phantom of the Opera is a must-read novel calling for readers with tendency to any genre. "

" I read this after watching the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. It really shed some light on things. Especially the behavior of the new managers. "

" The movie was really good "

" I fucking loved this book. Gonna watch the movie soon. ^_^ "

" Found this book pretty entertaining. Always enjoy books that give you a taste of another culture and time period. The story bound in mystery format kept you wanting to read more. "

" Quite different from the movie, but quite intriguing. This particular edition contains an Afterward with a lot of good analysis on the popularity of the story (and subsequent musicals and film adaptations), as well as its similarities to other mystery works. "

" An easy read. Worthwhile, if a little silly. "

" I read this in the fifth grade and it's still wonderful. "

" One of my favorite books growing up. "

" One of my all time favorites. Such an fantastic experience in the original French. The third novel I read all in French and one of my, "I've just got to take it with me" go-to type books. "

" Great mystery, making the spooks come alive in your imagination. Seems real. "

" Makes me want to know more of the history of the Paris Opera House. "

" What a difficult read. I am already familiar with the story from the stage and movie versions and was so excited to read the book. It took me an unusually long time to get through. I would reccomend it, but only if you are a patient reader with time to spare. "

" Phenomenal! This book was so amazing! It was so packed with emotion, it made me cry. You have to pity the Phantom... he just wants to be loved. This book actually deserves to be a classic unlike a lot of the others... "

" It's a wonderful show, with beautiful music. It was very strange, knowing the musical so well, to read this story and have no music involved. I had a hard time separating the book from the musical. While a good read, be prepared to not be immersed in Andrew Lloyd Webber's melody and lyrics. "
