Book Reviews of The Complete Phantom of the Opera
Book Review: Absolutely Necessary for Any Phantom "Phan"
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of Phantom. Starting with the Paris Opera House, Gaston Leroux, and the early movie versions, it works up to the different interpretations and the ALW musical. It has tons of color pictures and a libretto to the ALW musical in the back. A must have!Book Review: you can't call yourself a phan untill you've read this
Summary: 4 Stars
A definite must-have for any phan, this book is loaded with information and beautiful pictures of the journey Phantom has made over the years. It offers the entire script of the musical, astounding pictures of the set and costumes, and my favorite part,a view of how Micheal Crawford in different stages of getting his Erik makeup on. It also gives you information on Gaston Leroux, the original creator, and information on nearly all the different versions out there! (well, the movie versions...new books are almost entirely unmentioned, if at all) But in spite of that, it's a required read for any phan.Book Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
After I saw the show at the Pantages in LA, I knew that I would have to find out more about the original novel and previously performed versions of the show. This has got to be the most complete source in the world for fans and fanatics alike. I downloaded the soundtrack and compared it to the liberetto and not only are all of the sung lines in bold but so are the spoken lines that appear on the soundtrack. this book is the BEST!!!Book Review: An Artistic View

Summary: 5 Stars
This book is phenomenal! The information never ends! It details the opera house in Paris where this who story was supposed to take place. There is alot of information on the early movie forms of the story, including those who acted in them, as well as Gaston Leroux's book form. The bulk of the book is about Andrew Lloyd Webber though. There are so many pictures and stories about each of the characters, and the important peopel behind the scenes of the stage! This is a wonderful book whom anyone, Phantom fan or not is sure to enjoy!
