The Phantom of the Opera
I finished this book a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. The only sort of Phantom of the Opera media I have ever seen was the movie that was recently made with Gerard Butler. This book was very different than the movie. I did not expect this book to be so fantastic! I really liked it because it was very exciting at all times. One of the things that really makes me enjoy books is relating to/loving/envying the main characters, but when I was finished with this book, I realized that interest in the characters isn't really what kept me reading this book. As I said before, I guess I just really liked the plot.
I usually read books, but sometimes reading hurts my neck and my hands and makes my eye twitch, so I listened to Phantom on a Blackstone Audiobook. I would definitely recommend using one of those.

I read the book about 4 months ago. I loved it too. I'm probably the only one at my High School who actually reads literature in my free time.

I saw Phanton of the Opera on broadway on Thanksgiving in 2005 just before the movie came out and I LOVED it! The movie did justice to the stage production so I picked up the book, Wonderful! a different point of view and gives you more of a background for most of the characters. ( I enjoy reading the unabridged versions of books in order to tear apart the badly made movies.

I love this book ^.^ Though because of the outdated language bit of it were just hilarious even though they weren't meant to be. Erik was fantastic though, he's one of the best characters I've ever come across. Not the best written, but one of my favourites anyway.
