AMAZING!!! I skimmed thru it before on my Mum's kindle but didn't read it properly coz I hate kindles. So finding the book was SOOOO EXCITING! I almosAMAZING!!! I skimmed thru it before on my Mum's kindle but didn't read it properly coz I hate kindles. So finding the book was SOOOO EXCITING! I almost had a heart attack! Well, ok, I LOVED it to bits! I had high expectations, seeing both the 25th anniversary, 2004 movie and countless other versions, but the book surpassed all! (or, at least came close, hehe). It was beautifully, tragic, and I was soaking up every word desperately...it was so wonderful and so incredible, and I just love it! Raoul and Christine were utterly in love (yes, they were! I love them!), Erik was so grief stricken and his despair made me cry....he was so broken, poor creature. Some parts were a little boring, like the conversations in the manager's office, but otherwise everything else was perfect! The scene on the Opera rooftop with Raoul and Christine, when she tells him about Erik, was my favourite part in the book. It was GORGEOUS!!! This is my favourite book in the world, and ahhh...you should read it.
This line makes me want to cry: "The skeleton was lying near the little well, in the place where the Angel of Music first held Christine Daae fainting in his trembling arms, on the night when he carried her down to the cellars of the Opera house." It is so beautiful. ...more
So beautiful!! It was breathtaking, riveting and exciting. And the atmosphere was the beauty of a true Gothic novel. All the characters were rich and So beautiful!! It was breathtaking, riveting and exciting. And the atmosphere was the beauty of a true Gothic novel. All the characters were rich and clearly defined; I personally loved Isabella the most. However, the ending wasn't properly resolved :( I would have liked to have seen what happened a while after (SPOILER!)..... Matilda's death. But it was gorgeous! LOVED it! I have been wanting to read this forever, and it didn't disappoint. ...more
