Phantom by Susan Kay

5.0

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this, mostly the ending.
I've been a huge POTO fan since I was a very young girl, till this day I always wanted to play Christine! But I'm not a very good singer so that dream is dead now.

Anyways, I've enjoyed 75% of this book. As other reviews have mentioned, it should have ended where the musical/movie begins. I didn't recognize Christine when all the ish went down. I found the ending to be very out of character for both Erik and Christine. However, I can gloss over it since I enjoyed majority of the story and most likely gonna buy a physical copy of it. The writing was definitely my jam. I enjoyed reading so much about Erik's life. There were times where I fell in love with him and other times where I was so afraid that I couldn't even handle how dark his mind was. I was hopeful only for him to destroy it completely.

All in all, I enjoyed reading this adaptation and I'm happy to finally read it. I think people who are not as dedicated to the story and the characters will love this.
