A must-have for any phan
2005/10/21
形式:ペーパーバック
Carrie Hernandez's 'Angel of Music: Tales of the Phantom of the Opera' is comprised of two short stories and a novella. ***Please note: this book contains adult situations and would not be appropriate for minors.***
'Little Lotte' is a charming short story, based on Leroux's novel. It is a take-off of Raoul's recollection of his visits to the Daae's, and is so well-written that it could easily be seamlessly inserted into any English translation of Leroux's novel. Anyway, the story begins with Papa Daae buying Christine the red scarf, much as we find it in Leroux's novel, with some fleshing out. It then goes into the story behind the tale 'Little Lotte' that Papa Daae tells the children. The result is a charming story of finding the beauty in everyday things that even the children of today would love.
'Phantoms of the Mind' is the novella. Carrie Hernandez has intertwined the stories of all of the main players of the POTO in an amazing way. It starts off with a little girl, Charlotte (nicknamed Lotte), going to the local circus. Eager to find acceptance, she offers to clean the cages for the gypsies who run the circus, and stumbles upon a man in a cage. She befriends the man, and the story quickly takes off. Soon we are shown a side of Christine, Papa Daae, the managers, Carlotta, and others, that most of us have never imagined. This novella is pure genius, and I would recommend it to anyone over the age of eighteen. It does contain adult situations, so I would not recommend it for minors. I have relayed most of it to my daughter (12), leaving out the parts that are not appropriate for her age.
'The Portal', a short story, is an alternate ending to Leroux's POTO. Carrie Hernandez is such a talented writer that I loved it in spite of the fact that I did not agree with parts of it. The lengths Erik goes to to be with his love are amazing, yet believable. Christine's future is tragic, but realistic. There is a child, but I will not spoil the story by telling you whose it is. Nor will I delve into Christine's marital status, although we are told in the first sentence. I know there are many readers and phans who would like this one as much, if not more than, I did. And, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I really do not have any negative comments about the book, and I tend to be very opinionated. If there were anything lacking, I'd be all over it. This book would be a welcome addition to any phan's library.

Better than most but....

Like millions of others, I have been a Phan for many years and have read everything I could get my hands on, especially the Phan phiction online and published phic novels. I couldn't wait to read this book, especially given Ms. Hernandez's "Phantom" background i.e. her website and the much missed magazine and anthologies. While the twist on Little Lotte's true identity was surprising and even a little sad, and the tale of Christine and Raoul charming and sweet, I was completely turned off by "The Portal". I got so tired of Erik's "stench", the vapid and spaced-out Christine/zombie, and the mischevious brat who made Susan Kay's young Erik seem almost saintly. I think the stench references were offensive and mean. Yes, M. Leroux wrote that Erik's hands "smelled of death", but it was not essential to the original story so I couldn't see why it was so important to bring it up again and again in "The Portal". We all understand that Erik was a "living corpse" in appearance but I don't think Leroux meant he truly was a rotting corpse. It just seemed gross and irrelevant. As for Christine, this was not the girl who visited Erik many times unaccompanied, actually lived with him for a fortnight, and eventually was willing to sacrifice herself for Raoul. Even after the author's explanation for her behaviour it just didn't make sense to me. Lastly, the child's role in all this. It seemed like all the nasty things she did were only to make her seem more like "daddy" and not a cry for attention from her poor, hapless mother. I couldn't even sympathize with her. All in all the book is worth a read, especially for "Phantoms of the Mind". If not for "The Portal", I would have given the book 5 stars.

Absolutely Amazing

This is a marvelous book for any phantom fan. The way the author connects everything first written by Gaston LeRoux is mind boggling. You will feel pity, awe, amazement, and you will feel the pain that lies in Erik's heart. Everything that happens in this book will make you truly wonder about the underlining message possibly left my LeRoux when he first wrote the Phantom of the Opera.
