i am just about to DIE LAUGHING about the PhantomReviewers Review of Phantom of manhattan. XDDDDDD If the book was only half as good as his review I'D BUY IT AT ONCE. Since it isn't, I just wish the Reviewer would make an AUDIOBOOK of it. XD I know, right? His best reviews are always the worst adaptations. He's so funny when he gets flustered over how bad something is. Yes, indeed. ^.^ |

Guys, have y'all ever FOUND any Phantom books anywhere other than Amazon? Our local Half Price Books stocks titles like "Vampire Darcy's Desire" (not even kidding) but I can't seem to find "Letters to Erik" ANYWHERE.

So I doupt you'll find it on bookstores, unless the writer is now very rich and has a good agent... Or more talent than I give her credit for. I read the entrance campter and.. well.. I felt no need to buy that book. I came across "Phantom" some years by a lucky accident and not one week after I saw the musical too. Other than that... Why don't you just ask? I mean, must bookstores order stuff for their customers and have a really large database. Maybe you'll dicover wonderful Phantomy Books we never heard of? |

From what I've heard The Canary Trainer is more for Sherlock Holmes fans than Phantom fans, and even then it's not very good because it wasn't a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle book, just a fan-story. There's barely any Erik, and not much different from the Leroux book when scenes with him are mentioned. At least that's what I heard from a friend on another forum who recently read it. |

I mean, must bookstores order stuff for their customers and have a really large database. Maybe you'll dicover wonderful Phantomy Books we never heard of? I've only found the books on Amazon. But that's going to mostly be phanficton. Letter's to Erik was hilariously out of character sometimes. (Yes I've read because I'm a quest to read the published stuff... for some reason...) The book is not at all believeable and full of so much fluff Erik may as well have been a stuffed toy. I'm currently reading My Phantom - the Memoir of Christine Daae. The only reason I haven't finished it yet is because it's really boring. And thus far our beloved phantom has no name... he's just "the Phantom." And that's what he prefers to be called... |

"The Weirdo" by Theodore Taylor is kind of Phantomy. We have a reclusive, badly burned boy who lives in the middle of a swamp with his dad and tracks bears falling in love with this kind of derpy girl who got lost in said swamp while chasing after a dog she was supposed to be looking after.
Also there is a murder mystery.

XD Oh I know, but I was thinking of exercising my extreme power and making a thread for only my reviews so I could feel important... *cackles madly in a power hungry sort of way* However the rational portion of my brain keeps me from doing as it would be pointless, it would clutter up the board and I'd forget to up date it anyway. |

Okay, I just finished a book called "My Phantom" by an Anstance Tamplin or something to that effect... anyway, I don't recommend it at all. It was boring to say the least and it was basically just, "Oh, Erik wasn't all that bad, Leroux got it wrong, this is how it went, he was only ever sweet and kind and never killed anyone, or brought down a chandiler...or well, anything. Muchless haunt an opera house!" Wait... I did that wrong... The Phantom didn't have a name. And there was no Persian... and I can't say that I remember Mmd. Giry. There was a Mmd. Valleris though. Go figure.
Anyway, it's supposed to be told by Christine's POV and it's just dumb. Don't even go there.
