Simply the Best

Someone will say the book is too easy, but a Classic which has inspired hundreds of artist such as Iron Maiden or Lloyd Weber isn't something to be taken as a "child's book". It has mistery, it has suspense, it has the most famous villain ever created, it has THE final... it has everything the All Time Classics must have. <br><br>I have read tons of books (including The Lord of the Rings and everything Tolkien wrote; yes, the Phantom is shorter thant The Lord of the Rings, but both are to be readen over and over and over again) Leroux may not be Tolkien, Cervantes or Shakespeare; but he created a book that made everyone who ever went to a theater whisper "And what if the Phantom appear?"; To cause that effect on people, you must be really a fantastic writter.<br><br>Of course there are some who will read Harry Potter or Stephen King... or even Danielle Steel (who are the Comercial Books) instead of the Phantom, but, you know... Good Literature is not for everyone... not all the people enjoy the Classics...
