Phantom by Susan Kay
5.0
While I still have not read the original text of [b:The Phantom of the Opera|480204|The Phantom of the Opera|Gaston Leroux|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327867727l/480204._SY75_.jpg|2259720] *gasp*, I am such a huge fan of the musical that, when a dear friend said "You simply must read this", I searched far and wide for a copy and dove right in.
I loved that Susan Kay tells the entire life story of the Opera Ghost integrating, in the last chapters, details from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical. The author also credits Gaston Leroux's original work as well as the original Phantom film starring Lon Chaney.
Susan Kay weaves a remarkable story that adds so much to the Phantom character. This is a must-read for any fan of any Phantom works.
