| Post subject: | Phantom Of the Opera by Susan Kay |
Just thought I should mention one of the greatest books ever written. I loved this book and could read it a million times over, My favourite Characters being Madeline and Nadir. I really feel for all the characters in the book are well written and I just over all really loved it. Thoughts, Comments ? Who's your favourite character? |

I've never seen or read the Phantom of the Opera, but from what I hear, people absolutely love it. And from the title and pictures I've seen it does look incredibly interesting. I'd like to read it, but I haven't ever seen it in the library. What is it mostly about?

By Susan Kay? Is it different from Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux? That's the only one I know of o.O |

Yeah same here. The one Gaston Leroux is more of a horror. |

There has been "versions" off of Gaston Leroux's. I much prefer Gaston Leroux and Andrew Lloyd Webber over Susan Kaye though. |

^ Same. I didn't like Susan Kayes that much. I adore Leroux though. |

I had the pleasure of reading the book in French 2 years ago. After that I saw the original movie. It was a very good book and the movie was good too. I have not had the pleasure of seeing the play or the latest movie, but I bet they are amazing. |

But what do you mean "original movie"? |

The more I hear about it, the more I want to read it/ watch the movie... Only if the girl isn't murdered. Is that what happens or is it some one else? (I think I gave away the ending!

Are we still talking about Susna Kay's version? If so do you mean Luciana? I love the whole back story Kay gives to Erik, it gives the reader a much better understanding of his character. Did anyone else have trouble getting this book? |

I think she's talking about the black-and-white silent movie they made in the 1920's. I can't be sure though. 
I LOVED the one by Gaston Leroux, but I haven't read the one by Susan Kay. I'll be sure to look for it!

The orginal by Gaston L. was very good. I haven't touched the remakes, I like Gaston's better. |

I read the one by Gaston Leroux a really long time ago, need to read it again. But I've never found the one by Susan Kay. Isn't it out of print?

Out of print ? I would hope not. I've seen it in libraries before but never gave it a second glance. I mean, I don't like it but I hope it doesn't go out of print. |

I read the e-book of Phantom by Susan Kay. I can't wait to get a PB copy. It was a really good story. Very tragic. I've read some of Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. I couldn't really get into it though. Kristin |

Susan Kay's Phantom was out of print until very recenly. It's only available at the Llumina Press Website. Until now, they were selling on ebay for $40-$90. Possibly more. And those were used paperbacks. Pretty ridiculous. |
