Many
people know and love the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, but the book it is
based upon is quite different. Raoul is the main character in the
original telling of the story, and he is so much more melodramatic that it
borders on comical; the Phantom is more awkward and demanding but not so
darkly romantic; and Christine is just kind of there. However, for
readers who know and like the literature of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, or fans of the musical who want more background on the
main characters, this is a good enough read.
