Summary

The story begins with an investigation into some strange reports of an "opera ghost", legendary for making the great Paris opera performers ill-at-ease when they sit alone in their dressing rooms. Some allege to have seen the ghost in evening clothes moving about in the shadows. Nothing is done, however, until the disappearance of Christine during her triumphant performance. With an increasing pattern of fear and violence, The Phantom of the Opera begins to strike, but always with a beautiful young performer at the center of his deadly desires.

Let down by the narrator

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I didn't enjoy this much because of the strange way the narrator reads it.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Glad I'd got to the end of it.

What three words best describe Ralph Cosham’s performance?

Stilted,strange,disengaging

Was The Phantom of the Opera worth the listening time?

it's a good story so I persevered
