PHANTOM

Summary: Phantom is Phorever
Review: Let me say, that after this book, I as a person became fully aware of how adolescent my own writing was...this is a masterpiece; it moves a person emotionally and mentally so much, that you end up cradling the book in your arms and crying. Phantom is the best book I've ever read, and believe me, I've read TOO MANY. This book isn't worth $5.20. It's priceless...I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did...or litterally *cry* as much! This is a must for ALL phantom phans. If you've seen the musical or read Leroux's version, this is a refreshing and beautiful wholesome story. And it's the best...simply THE best.

Review: For anyone who has ever read the Original Phantom of the Opera by Gaston, You MUST read this book. Every question about Erik will be answered. The Human side of him is revealed. I have read this book at least 50 times.

Summary: A sad, captivating tale of the human search for love
Review: This book was the first one that I read by Susan Kay and to be perfectly honset, I had never even heard of this author. But, to be frank, I sincerely enjoyed this book tremendously. Eric is a loner searching for the one thing that he could not possibly have, "love" because of his disfigurement. The book teaches you to look into the inner person and not the outside covering. I recommend it to the open-minded reader any time.

Summary: A must read!!!!!
Review: I have been obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera for about two years now. I own the original book and both the Phantom CDs. Never before have I been so moved. I was completely pulled into the book from start to finish. This incredible novel covers the life of Erik from birth to death and even a little after. This book gives you insight to how cruel people are to anything that's different. If you don't cry at least once before the end of this book, either you have no emotions, or there's something wrong with your tear ducts. Now I own Susan Kay's Phantom and I'm never ever giving it up!!!

Summary: THE BEST NOVEL!!!!!!!!!
Review: This novel was amazing, it is complete in every detail, I couldn't help crying at the end of the last few pages, I wish it could have ended differently but then I know I would not enjoy it anymore because I just adore stories with sad endings. This novel is a must have, I think anyone would enjoy it. I would say this novel fills in all the gaps of the missing answers so frequently asked. It will give readers an insight on how cruel people can be.

Summary: Best book!!!
Review: this book was the best thing I've ever read- also the saddest. And, as all my friends know, I read quite a bit of books, so if I say that this is very good, they know that it was. I fell in love with THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA ever since I heard(not saw) the musical in fifth grade. Well, now I'm in seventh. I own the CD of PHANTOM I own the novel by Gaston Leroux, and I'm hoping that I will soon own the novel by Susan Kay, which is by far the best and saddest PHANTOM thing existing. This was a book for all ages, but mainly for kids, so they can learn that sometimes, people may be different, and people who treat them unkindly can scar them for life.

Summary: Absolutely the BEST!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I fell in love with this book the first time I read it. I had previously seen the show Phantom of the Opera and loved it. After reading this book and having Eric become part of my life I saw the show again. Never have I understood the show so well. I cried at the most obscure parts because this book had given me a clearer understanding. Once you read this version you'll know that you never really knew the story before. Highly recommended even for people who don't know the story. Warning: Have a large box of tissues near by. If this book doesn't touch you and make you cry, I doubt you have a heart.
