Yes. Actually, I just finished it a week ago. It was very different from the musical, but I could see the similarities. I found it very interesting how the author, Gaston Leroux, wrote the story, as though it had actually happened.
Yes, I read it a couple of years Vor after I saw the musical for the first time. I couldn't resist! Every time I read about Phantom online I would run into references to the original book. Overall, I think I prefer the musical, nut I appreciate the book for many reasons. It adds so much to the characters!
Yes I've read the book, couple of times as well as Kay's novel and other POTO novels. When I first got into my phandom I don't know why but the first thing i did after seeing the stage production was Lesen the novel and the many spin offs, and continuations before I started actually watching any of the movies. LOL what can I say I like to read.
