~DONE IN MY AGENDA~<br />
(original about 4 times smaller xD)<br />
<br />
The Phantom of the Operaaaaa!!!<br />
*faints*<br />
<br />
I loooove him so muuuch!<br />
One day I really must read the book! T___T<br />
I've discovered the story very young, when the choral my mother was in made the musical. (my mother was playing Christine)<br />
Tough at time I was too young to really take interest in the story, but something like last year, or the year before, I've discovered the Phantom of the Opera; the Canadian cast musical (by Felix Grey) CD in the shelf and now....<br />
I'M SO TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THAT CHARACTER!! *___*<br />
What a beautiful story!!!<br />
<br />
I was beaming when I've heard they were doing the movie, and I really enjoyed it even if the French voice actors sung in an horrible way...

KartoonKweenFinally! Someone puts an agenda book to GOOD use! (lol)

Nice version of Erik. :) I always love an Erik who dresses foppishly. By the way, you should TOTALLY read Leroux's novel. A word of warning: it's nothing like the play. However, this way, while reading the book you won't know what's going to happen next!

Although some disagree, it is my opinion that Leroux's novel was ingeniously written. What genre does this book belong in? I'd say it doesn't belong in any; Leroux basically wrote what he wanted. I didn't think it was confusing at all.

Of course, if you want to understand Erik, you have to read the original. Although Kay's novel is more detailed (and DEFINITELY worth reading; it's my second favorite novel, in fact), she did not create Erik. She only interpreted him and added her own depth to him. Also, you can't rely on the plays or the movies to understand Erik, either, because each actor and director will add their own subtexts as well. Your best bet is to read Leroux's novel and come up with your own interpretation of him, THEN compare that interpretation to Kay's and to the play's and to what ever phan phics you may read.

I hope this was helpful.

angel_in_hellLovely.
 
I prefer Susan Kay's adaptation of the book more than Leroux's original novel. Leroux's, like Lloyd Webber, Mackintosh, and others have said, "It has a jolly good plot, but rather badly written... you can't really work out what it is exactly... weather its a romance, or a mystery, or a thriller novel, or weather or not he's telling a piece of history..." Its a bit confusing, if you ask me... but...
 
Wonderful drawing! I love it!
 
Who is your mother may I ask? I saw Sarah Lawrence play Christine in April. I sat in the front row... I have funny stories about that particular show actually.... wanna hear?

Ceres_de_RehkaI love Erik so much - I would so give him a big kiss! He looks so sad... which makes me really want to go give him a big hug too.

The detail on his cape is great, by the way.

The book is really good (although I've only read the english version). Kind of creepier than both the show and the movie though. :p
