Book Reviews of The Phantom of Manhattan
Book Review: (Spoilers) HORRIBLE READ, DONT BUY IT!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a DIE HARD phantom phan. I read nearly anything I can get my hands on that has to do with this beloved book/musical. First off- the book was miserable. I couldn't even finish it- thank god I borrowed it at a library. I was appalled to see any mention of ALW- this doesnt even portray the characters of his musical well, so I was pretty shocked to read he colaborated on it. Erik is turned to power hungry- something I would NEVER place him as. He seemed more like a phsycopathic maniac than an actual man with one hell of a horrible past. He even dresses up as a CLOWN to hide his face and get money. Christine gets shot, its just all in all miserable and yes, it lacks emotion too- unless you count power hungry and greedy as an emotion. Arogance can also be placed in this book. It is APPALING. If you must read this, go to a library and then if you like it enough to buy it, go for it. But dont PURCHASE the book until you are absolutely certain you'll like it. I do recomend that you check out Phantom by Susan Kay (as so many others have mentioned) instead of this. I loved that book and I think it is still one of my all time favorites. Some stated this book is like Kay's- I dont see where they are coming from at all. Susan Kay's is wonderful (I liked it more than the original work), I also loved ALW's musical both on screen and on stage, and the original work.
