Yes, it's not exactly a thriller.
Raou...Ahhh. Yes, it's not exactly a thriller.<br /><br />Raoul annoys me a LOT too. The only Raoul I've ever been able to stand is Patrick Wilson's because he has energy and determination that the character always lacks.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186241278090228989.post-28008615944496069622015-09-30T10:16:07.708-07:002015-09-30T10:16:07.708-07:00My biggest problem was with the structure.

Erik kidnaps Christine halfway through the book, and the rest of it is mainly Raoul trying to get to her and it drags on and on, and Raoul annoys the heck out of me because he's always either bursting to tears or thinking about Christine. Secondly, big and rather important chunks of the story are narrated in reported speech so, as a reader, you don't really get to be "there" when stuff happens and it takes away quite a bit of the mood, in my opinion. Also, I found it extremely hard to sympathize with Raoul and Christine and couldn't figure out for the life of me why the Ratcatcher and the Persian had to exist at all. Those are my main issues with the book, I put in a link to my review in my reply to the last question if you want a more thorough answer! :DMatilda Mihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018237690335927080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186241278090228989.post-18005084813669397622015-09-30T04:42:36.246-07:002015-09-30T04:42:36.246-07:00You were disappointed by Leroux's book?

Especially since he was <i>self-taught</i>. It's mind-blowing.<br /><br />Hehe, well, yeah, then you might not like the new <i>Cinderella</i> ;) It's a beautiful movie, though! And yes, Cate Blanchett is excellent.<br /><br />Soprani for the win! *high-fives*<br /><br />Oooh, you got to see it live in London?! You lucky thing, you;) Yeah, the novel rather disappointed me, too. It was just kind of…odd.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.com
