Whooo! Another cool one for the OBCZ. Thanks, Tribefan! I think I may read this one myself first, I've always wanted to read it.

Enjoyed reading this one. It's a lot more similar to the musical/film version than I expected, but there are differences, especially the ending. I liked the creepy atmosphere and the descriptions of the Opera House.
