Okay, I finished Phantom of the Opera. It was interesting to read and compare the book from the play/movie. However, I had more things I didn't like than things I did. Raoul seemed like a whiney crying pansy, not the dashing brave and endearing hero he should be. Christine and he don't hit it off with fireworks; and Raoul cries every time! And Raoul doesn't even go rescue Christine alone, there's a Persian who leads him down to the house on the lake. Madame Giry isn't anything the same; she's a toothless homely woman, yuck!
It was pretty cool to read in more detail about the Opera building and the world below. There are a lot more traps and crazy things than can't all be put in the play/movie. So that was pretty cool. But the characters were not endearing in any way. So to sum it all up: don't waste your time with the book; watch the play/movie!
