I think the book i choosed last week was to difficult for me,so i choose another one,
which is called "The Phantom of the Opera"
I started reading this book because there was a movie version of the Phantom of the Opera, and also a musical of it at the Broadway. It sounded interesting and attractive .
To tell the truth, I was rather confused by the story. Leroux had used first person tense in some parts of the story, as if he was there at the opera, trying to find out if the Opera Ghost really existed. Moreover, by weaving in the characters that actually existed in history into the story, Leroux made the story sound very realistic; however, it may not be a good thing to sound so realistic, because from time to time, I would have to think very hard about whether the Phantom of the Opera and this story had existed in reality, or just in one's imagination? All in all, I think I would rather choose to believe that the story is fictional, since it would be too awful if anything like this actually happened.
Most of the story's climaxes are at the middle of the book.I believe that Christine Daae loved the opera ghost, Erek, as much as she loved Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny. I felt the opera ghost is a person that worth sympathy.Despites his overwhelmed talents, he is ugly-looking,so he can only live underneath the theatrer, lives a dark life that no one knows him.However, the end when he still let the person he loves so much to pursuit her true love is so touching and shows his capacious heart to sacrifice himself.
