Anyways, when I read this he (Leroux) insisted The phantom was real. I think he is kinda looney toons so...what do you guys think?

This is a common literary tactic--the back cover of the book should tell you that it's fiction.
I also thought the same thing the first time I read Leroux's book.
Hope you enjoyed it!

Claiming to be relating eyewitness testimony was common in Gothic novels. Other times, the author would claim to be translating an ancient manuscript. These tropes were just meant to add to the spookiness of the plot; it isn't to be taken seriously.
On a side note, there really is an underground "lake" under the opera house the novel is based on. If you watch the DVD of the latest movie, they show it.

Are you severe? The bible is God's observe or regardless of and once you're asserting "nicely do not purely examine that reason it won't make experience examine the pupil's writing too" then you definately're asserting the bible won't make experience and you will desire to not would desire to examine any pupil's writing's to understand the bible. The bible is meant to be the words to stay via and in case you will desire to extra comprehend it with pupils writing's then you definately understand on your heart the bible is organic crap.
