Book Reviews of Phantom
Book Review: A wonderful masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
I adored this book. I came to it with some reservations as a Leroux fan, but those reservations were blown away after the first page and I was literally sucked in to this amazing story by the sheer power of the writing. What a magnificent writer Ms Kay is and how beautifully she carries off her daring project to give us the life story of such a famous fictional character. She must have known it had to be darned good or she would have been shot down in flames by such a huge fan base and yet she pulls it off. With it's lyrical prose, first class characterization and fast moving plot, it justly deserves all the praise that has been heaped on it over the years.
And as Leroux fan I have to say I raised my eyes in some horror when I read a couple of the recent reviews below. Mauling a well respected book like Kay's, in Leroux's name, simply makes us Leroux fans look as though we have an axe to grind. I was actually uncomfortable and embarrased to mention the fact that I was a Leroux fan in such company. Of course we want people to read and love Leroux's wonderful original, but this is not the way to achieve it.
