I loooved Phantom of the Opera, so I was expecting something a little more engrossing. It wasn't bad; I haven't read much if any mystery besides this so I don't know what to really expect. A lot of things got repeated over and over but then at the end, during the big reveal, a lot of things came out all at once and didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Also there wasn't much character development at all; I didn't care about any of these characters.
