Much to my surprise, my father really, really liked it. But he's kind of a manly girlie-man type. Heh.
Also, have you ever read Susan Kay's retelling? The first 3/4's are very, very good because she's so very faithful to the tidbits revealed about Erik by the Persion in Leroux's novel. The last 1/4, with Christine, starts to read a bit like Mary Sue fanfiction. But it's certainly, as derivative retellings go, worth the read for any fan of this story. It's out of print, so to the library you must go if you haven't read it and don't want to spend a fortune.
I'd like to see an actual opera based on the book. In French.
