Gaston Leroux

Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) was a French journalist and writer of detective fiction. Born in Paris, Leroux attended school in Normandy before returning to his home city to complete a degree in law. After squandering his inheritance, he began working as a court reporter and theater critic to avoid bankruptcy. As a journalist, Leroux earned a reputation as a leading international correspondent, particularly for his reporting on the 1905 Russian Revolution. In 1907, Leroux switched careers in order to become a professional fiction writer, focusing predominately on novels that could be turned into film scripts. With such novels as The Mystery of the Yellow Room (1908), Leroux established himself as a leading figure in detective fiction, eventually earning himself the title of Chevalier in the Legion of Honor, France’s highest award for merit. The Phantom of the Opera (1910), his most famous work, has been adapted countless times for theater, television, and film, most notably by Andrew Lloyd Webber in his 1986 musical of the same name.

Avis sur Le Fantôme de l'Opéra

[vyode_1 · Évaluation : 4 sur 5 étoiles]

sat unread for years.this translation ( or prose style ) is not the easiest or most engaging to read. but after slogging it through it's a little bit better than expected/anticipated

[bcushman-1 · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

This is the one and only time you will hear me say 'I liked the movie/play better' Because I did. Its still an enjoyable book, very creepy and romantic but I miss the music. Maybe if I listen to the soundtrack while I read it?

Ohhh this is one of the best books i have ever read. i love how the phantom is so madly inlove wiht christe that he will do anything and nothing will stop him from loving the beautiful melodies that spring out of Christine Daae's voice. not even Roul will stop him

[ameliaiif · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

lucky for you, Mr. Leroux, Andrew Lloyd Webber came along and made your bad writing into a world-phenomenon musical. his phantom is way more likeable, his raoul is less dorky, and all the stupid subplots disappear! i give this an extra star just because your story did spawn the most amazing, beloved musical of all time.

2.5 StarsI saw (one of the many) movie[s] when I was a kid and the opera itself about 12 years ago and I have to say I enjoyed the opera better than the book. As a book, it is just strange and odd with lots of long descriptions and telling and few scenes with dialogue. Played out on stage this is amazing, but I struggled reading through it

[factory_1 · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

This story is very famous. I had not read though I knew the title of this story. This story is a talk that centers on the true colors of the ghost that appears in the opera house. Because the story of the original had been easily brought together as for this book, it was very comprehensible. Because characters' names were French, it was not easy to have read. This title is very fear but story was very interesting!

[robble_1 · Évaluation : 5 sur 5 étoiles]

This book gives us an insight into the depravities and, conversly the beauties of humanity. The ugliness of the phantom is contrasted with the beauty of his music and understandably, Christine feels an undeniably pity for him, whereas the naive Raoul only feels anger towards him. One of the best characters that was left out of the musical version was the Persian, who presents important background into the phantom's life. This book totally made me cry at the end!

[laugal-2 · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

I read this after seeing the musical. I would never have read the book if not for the musical.Not my style of read.But I did read it many years ago and found it too "dark". I realize the Phantom had a life of tragic circumstances and lived as a result of society and its fears. It was well written and is a classic. I would suggest it be read. I just found it disappointing after seeing the musical.

[schmal06 · Évaluation : 5 sur 5 étoiles]

I loved this book. It is more a melodramatic love story than the horror story it is made out to be and it's neither the musical nor the black and white silent so it should not be judged based on them. It is dark and passionate and surprisingly very funny.

[kathleen586 · Évaluation : 4 sur 5 étoiles]

I was really enjoying this, and then I found out the translation I am reading is inaccurate and abridged! :(

I guess I'll just have to read it again later. I think I'll wait until the new Mireille Ribière translation comes out in March.

[rebeccaday1 · Évaluation : 5 sur 5 étoiles]

This is definately one of my top books!!!! It gives such good insight on who the phantom was and how he was trained in the illusions that made everyone think he was a ghost. It is very suspenseful and has great action scenes. I would love to see a movie based on the book and not the musical! There is a cheesy attempt of a movie from the 1980's with Robert Englund but is more inspired by the book then based on the book.

[aikon_5 · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

This story was difficult to read for me.I thought if the phantom was not him, whether Christine love him or not?I thought he was so poor.

[wanderlust_lost · Évaluation : 5 sur 5 étoiles]

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had no idea what to expect as I wasn\'t familiar with any of Leroux\'s other novels and I hadn\'t heard anything about it from anybody else who\'d read it. I fell in love with it from the start. It\'s the perfect Gothic novel. It\'s ingenious, beautiful, and dark. I love it.

[mlle_christina · Évaluation : 4 sur 5 étoiles]

The book really wasn't what I expected, though I did enjoy it. I think maybe this story is better suited to the stage or screen, because it's not the deepest or most developed as far as novels go, but it is a good story and a fun take on the Persephone theme. Lots more details in the book, of course, than in movies, so worth a read for that.

[bkoopman_5 · Évaluation : 4 sur 5 étoiles]

I appreciate the Opera of the Phantom MANY times more now that the holes in the storyline of the opera are patched up. This is an intriguing mystery, a complex story about human frailty, but mostly, it is a lovely love story.

[jenniebooks · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

Love triangle with a ghost. Kept me occupied

[dysmonia · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

I was obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera in the sixth grade, after our otherwise useless music teacher taught a unit on the actual opera. I then read the book for a reading project in regular class.

[rosenstern · Évaluation : 4 sur 5 étoiles]

The monster who wishes to love and the beautiful woman who can't be stuck with said monster. She instead shows interest in a dashing young proper looking man. What can the phantom do but kidnap her? You should read it if you like mysteries at the opera house.

[mjspear_1 · Évaluation : 4 sur 5 étoiles]

An iconic love/ghost story... a deformed man haunts the Paris Opera House and mentors/ensnares a gifted, beautiful soprano. Tough sledding for non-readers but still worth reading. The Broadway musical will heighten its appeal.

[les121 · Évaluation : 4 sur 5 étoiles]

Much darker and more exciting than the play. An excellent book.

[leslie398 · Évaluation : 5 sur 5 étoiles]

Very exciting!

[mhanover10 · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

Very enjoyable as an audiobook.

[misslizzy_1 · Évaluation : 5 sur 5 étoiles]

A movie. Based on an opera. Based on a novel. Based on what may or may not be slightly true events. Always interesting. And it involves music, another passion of mine. Just a painfully beautiful book about the masks we all wear.

[tryion · Évaluation : 5 sur 5 étoiles]

An excellent read. Full of humor, suspense and romance.

[natumi1s · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

This story is a horror story.This building is very beautiful and big.There are many trap, secret door and room.Although Erik is murderer, he only wanted to love someone .I think this story is also sad love story.

[belles007-1 · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

It's an ok read, but I suggest seeing the stage play instead.

[ck2935 · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

I enjoyed Leroux's descriptions of the Paris Opera House.

[mariamreza · Évaluation : 3 sur 5 étoiles]

Warning: Plotspoiler!This is supposed to be a supernatural thriller which turns out not to be supernatural. But I don't think it works unless you really get into the supposedly haunting parts at the start. Probably need to be a horror fiction fan to enjoy this. If you're more of a science person like me, you'll probably take the logical ending as a given rather than a piece of brilliance.

[harukaa_4 · Évaluation : 4 sur 5 étoiles]

This story is love story.But this is sad story also.I think Phantom wanted to be loved by someone.So his mind was crazy.He was crazy man.But I don't hate him.He may be pure man also.

[christina0525 · Évaluation : 5 sur 5 étoiles]

I had always been a big fan of The Phantom of the Opera (both the play and the movies) hadn't read the book until recently. I thought I knew everything there was to know, but the book blew me away. Nothing like I expected, and I loved every moment. I loved the story before, and I grew to love it even more.
