Customer Reviews

Very damaged

This book arrived very damaged and with the wrong cover.

A dark novel I finally got to read.

A dark intense romance. The phantom is a narcissist.

Read the description carefully

The book is bigger than I expected. The version I got is not hard cover and it’s a little awkward to hold while reading in bed.

Loved this story.

I was a bit unsatisfied with the ending

The Phantom of the Opera Book on CD

I do not have much time to sit a read a book, especially a novel. I have to either read items for my work or at night enjoy reflective books on personal growth and challenges. But I do have a 20-30 ride to work each day. During that total hour of drive time, going to work and back home, I enjoy listening to books on CD. My daugther read the book the Phantom of the Opera and said I would enjoy the book on CD. She was right.

Loved it

This is a great book on POTO. Has lots of "extra" things written right in to help make the story even more understandable and enjoyable.

Good reading

I love books of CD. I am in my car a great deal and books make the time go faster. I also miss a great deal (gotta pay attn to driving) so I listen over and over until I get it. This book can be complicated so listening more than once was necessary but I like this book very much.

LOVELY LOVE STORY!

Just what my sixteen year old, love sick heart needed! This story met all standards that I held for it! Not only did it give insight to Andrew Lloyd Weber's miraculous production of The Phantom of the Opera, but it made me love the characters and want to read more! Unfortunatley, all good things come to an end, as does this book, (and A very tear jerking one I might add) I shared this book with my relatives, friends, and family and they have all come to my same conclusion: This is an EXCELLENT BOOK!! Buy one, read it, and I guarantee you'll fall in love with it! It makes you want to jump up, hop on a plane, go to the Paris Opera House, and look for Erik! (I tried...don't get caught breaking rules!) Great story and have happy reading!
