A review by emmanuellenikolaev
Phantom by Susan Kay
1.0
Yikes, racism.
If you are thinking about picking this book up due to it being a retelling of Phantom of the opera, I would strongly advise you don't waste your eyes. I have seen people comparing this to fan fiction, which in my opinion is an insult to fan fiction, given that this book reads a bit like the worst kind of angst-filled drivel. I would usually be kinder in my reviews, but I must say that I find this book infuriating not only in that it is poorly written, but it manages to be leagues more racist than the original WRITTEN IN 1909! ...
So no, I would not recommend this to a friend.
