Synopsis

The long-ago mysteries of the great opera house in Paris have never been explained. Why did so many terrible tragedies happen there? Why did everyone flee from it in fear? This gripping story about the “opera ghost” and the beautiful singer he loves launched one of the most popular musicals in Broadway history—and it serves up enough thrills, chills, and surprises to keep even the most reluctant reader fascinated.

Pierwsze 50 stron mi się bardzo podobało. Potem zaczął to być nudny romans, potem wręcz sensacja. Poza historią Erika, która to rzeczywiście jest bardzo smutna i przejmująca, nie znalazłam w tej książce ani ułamka czegoś, co działałoby na moją wrażliwość. A z kolei sama historia Erika gubi się kompl......more

Goodreads review by Fabian on September 01, 2020

Excellent, marvelous. A phantasmagorical (ha ha!) PERFECTION. NO JOKE. This is one true House of Horrors, perhaps the best one ever orchestrated (maybe discounting Poe). Yes, EVER. The prose is so simple, so readable, that the barest of essentials are there, in all their power & glory: the haunted h......more
