I really liked a lot of the writing and much of the story was interesting but I had a lot of time enjoying reading the characters. It's not just that they are unlikable, I'm not sure how to explain but not my thing. Raoul is especially annoying which kinda of sucks because he narrates most of it. I did like learning more about Christine's dad and all that, but I didn't really like it. I didn't like erik either, I wanted him to be redeemable, but he just wasn't.
