Summary: The Best Book I Have Ever Read
Review: Believe it or not, the first time I read this book was when I was 8 years old, and it has been my favorite book ever since. I've have read many great books that were hard to put down, but this was the only one I actually couldn't put down! Most people are only familiar with the play and the movie; I have seen Phantom of the Opera on broadway twice, but I still prefer the book. The book goes into so much more detail and reveals so many parts of the story that both the play and the movie leave out. If you are planing on seeing the play, I highly recommend that you read this first. If you already have seen it, or are never go to see it, I still highly recommend that you read this; it's great!

The monster, who is the Phantom, learns of the plan and again kidnaps her.

Summary: A "Must Have" for any Phantom fan
Review: Dealing mainly with the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Phantom of the Opera," this book also gives a good history of the original novel and other filmed and stage versions of the story. The book is worth the price for the beautiful photographs and behind the scenes stories alone. It is a perfect for anyone who is interested in the story of the Phantom

Summary: History in a few short pages
Review: George Perry did an excellent job putting together the history of the Paris Opera house, Gaston Leroux, and the story of the Phantom. This book was an integral source in my review of the book and in depth analysis of Leroux's writing style and the novel itself. The vivid images are inspiring to poets and writers, and the full libretto is a nice touch in the rear of the book. I recommend this book for anyone seeking further information about the tale, the author, or the opera house.

Summary: Top to bottom the best of the Phantom!
Review: George Perry has clearly written an accurate and fantastic biography for the Phantom. He explores myths, legends, Hollywood history, and the Phantom's turn on Broadway. George Perry has included a plethora of photographs, takes you backstage with the actors, and even deep into the Phantom's lair. This book showcases the history of the Phantom and gives ample credit to his creator, Gaston Leroux. It truly is "The Complete Phantom of the Opera." You will not be disappointed when you buy this book!

Summary: It's SOOOO Vivid!
Review: I absolutely loved this book! It was the perfect story, the photos were wonderful, and the floorplans are true to the Opera House!! I used them to explore when no one was looking. I went underground, got lost, and then.....(Phantom theme music) The Phantom swooped down on me, captured me, and took me to his lair!...... and then I woke up, with the book on the floor beside me. You see! I tell you, it's a great book. It really makes you feel like you're in the story! I recommend it to everybody who loves the Phantom!!!!!

Summary: Packed with all the information you could ever possably want
Review: I love the story of Erik{The Phantom}.So after I finished reading,and re-reading,the origional novel by Gaston Lerox I went looking for all the information I could find. I found a lot of books, but none that I wanted to keep. Then I found this book,and just after taking a flip through{and it took a while because there are 167pgs.}I was sold. I scanned all the pictures and taped them in my room and in my locker at school. Truely a book for all ages.
