I absolutely love it. It is my favorite book to date.
I've never been able to refer to another book as "delicious" before, but this one definitely matches that description. Many books I enjoy just for the story...This one had an intrigueing story, *and* the writing was absolutely fabulous in its visceral descriptions. Highly recommended by the me, and most especially to any and all POTO fans.
I absolutely loved this rendition of Phantom of the Opera! It gave so much history as to why Erik (the Phantom) was the way he was.
This has to be one of my favorite books!
I think I might read it again soon =)

Loved this book a lot more when I was younger
Susan Kay's Phantom might be one of the most influential piece of work in the Phandom. Personally, I think everyone who loves The Phantom of the Opera should read it.
The main consensus in the Phandom (which I wholeheartedly agree with) is when Susan Kay moves the narrative to Christine Daae's point of view the whole story strays from Leroux narrative and jumps off a cliff. The earlier portions of the book are so incredibly detailed and well researched that I'm half inclined to recommend readers to stop at Christine's section (it's not going to happen because you as the reader pray that the final section blows away the previous section - keep deluding your self because it doesn't happen).
In all, you should read it for the angst.

JEG GIVER OP! Jeg kan simpelthen ikke mere. Den bog er så kedelig og forudsigelig. Jeg ville så gerne kunne lide den, for jeg elsker "Phantom of the Opera" musicalen, men livet er for kort til dårlige bøger, som man siger. Så nu kaster jeg håndklædet i ringen og dropper mit selvbebrejdende guilttrip over ikke at færdiglæse så dyr en bog. Fuck it.
