I have recently read the novel by french author Gaston Leroux. which is called The phantom of the opera.the novel includes various popular genres , it can be read as a detective story, as a Gothic novel , as an adventure or romance.

The book is about love, a doomed, hopeless love. About passion, jealousy, the struggle for life and happiness.

Also, this story is about ugliness - not so much about the physical, but about the mental, which is much scarier. About how people can be cruel to those who are different from them. It is very difficult to find your place in the world, having an incredible ugliness and such a brilliant mind.

I chose to read this book because my best friend advised me to read it

Most of all I like the main character of the novel, Ericvwho is lonely, forced to bear his burden, jealous, passionate, loving, hating, brilliant, terrible. he scares, and not only with his appearance. There is light in his heart, but there is also darkness.

Eric was a brilliant illusionist, a magician.

He wanted only one thing: to be like everyone else! to live a normal life, but, unfortunately, this is not available to him as he was too ugly!

However there is on think I didn't like about the book.It is Eric's fate.He died in the end of the story and I did want him to be happy and to be loved.
