Gaston Leroux paints a world of amazing detail, one which completely absorbs the reader. "The Phantom of the Opera" revolves around the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny who has fallen in love with the beautiful Christine who is being haunted by a mysterious "ghost" in her dressing room. The plot moves as anyone would suspect when Christine begins to return the feelings of the Vicomte but then he soon comes to realize that Christine's ghost is real and has a thing or three to say about their relationship. The character of the "phantom," or Erik, is filled with raw emotion, mystery, and love. Even readers who don't like his character will be moved at his attempts to woo Christine, and how shallow, yet dangerously innocent she is. Though more than a century old, Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera" will remain a classic for years to come.
