Jane's Reviews > Ooperikummitus

My first time reading The Phantom of the Opera despite the fact that I have seen the movie adaptation quite a few times (and some snippets from a play they did here in Estonia). I kept hearing the soundtrack from the movie in my head while I was reading the book and while I have to admit that the book opened my eyes to some aspects of the story I was not all that familiar with before, it was also a rather long and tedious read where the writing style didn't appeal to me all that much. Don't rightly know whether it was due to the translation or the Leroux's writing style simply isn't my cup of tea.

I will definitely keep watching the movie adaptation, but I have doubts about ever reading the book again ...
