      In 1880, in Paris, in an Opera House, mysterious phenomenon happens. People think a Phantom live there. In fact, the thinking is true, and the phantom fall in love with a girl, Christine Daae. I like the story since I watched the show in Gekidanshiki Musical Theater. I think the end of the book is different from end of the show. So everyone, even people watched the show, enjoy reading this book.

      Do you know an opera house in Paris?This place is the satge for this story.In 1880,a rumor was going about that "The phantom exists in that opera house".Everyone was afraid of the phantom,because he was very ugly and dagerous. One day,the phantom falled in love with a beautiful woman who sang in the opera house.But,this happen was the beggining of tragedy. This story is very tragic love story.The phantom is poor man.I think he just didn't know the way how to love other　people.　　　I like this story,but this story is very complex story.

      I have watched this movie. I think prabably most people know this story. you can enjoy beautiful songs and storied together.The plot is that The Phantom of the Opera is mostly about a girl named Christine Daae, a ballet dancer at the Paris Opera House. She is the musical student of a man who most call the Opera Ghost but who she calls the Angel of Music. His real name is Eric, and he lives in the lake below the Opera House. He is teaching her how to sing. When the main female lead at the opera leaves, Christine is called upon to sing and does so beautifully. A man, who she has known for some time, name Raoul, sees her sing and remembers her. He is romantically interested in her, but Eric will not allow it. Instead of letting them go off together, Eric kidnaps Christine in order to instruct her further. After unmasking him and revealing horrible deformities on his face, Christine runs away.How do you think after what happened to them? Do you think Christine chose Eric insterad of Eric or not? I recommend this book for the people who have watched this movie. They can know difference between book and movie.

He cannot control his feeling....This is a grand love story.I think the phantom understood true love from Christine at last.He should be loved by someone.This story is not happy. But moving!

      Cace of mystery to which opera house occurs in which backstage. It was an act of mystery men who had never seen. The fate of the female professional singer who knows mystery man's real face and desire. It was a quite legible book. However, the change of the scene was sometimes cramped.
