Different.

I've been reading Phantom for the past few days, and I remember completely loving it the first time I'd read it when I checked it out from the library; but this time around, I guess I'm really seeing how sad it is. Of course I haven't expected Erik (the Phantom) to have a completely happy life, but, it seems like wherever he goes, a sadness or tragic event follows him, just waiting for the right moment to crash down upon him. it's just so very sad, and I feel so bad for him. it just makes me want to climb into the book and give him just one true and complete happy memory to have.
