Apparently I Am Not Fond of Phantoms

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

October 29, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I tried very hard to get through this book and was very relieved to get to the last page. I didn’t enjoy this at all and thought the melodramatic “Phantom” was awful and the love triangle between him, his love Christine and Christine’s love Raoul was a bit much for me. I have to say the main reason why I gave this 2 stars was that Leroux definitely […]

So here’s what’s pretty funny: The Phantom calls himself in my translation as the “Opera Ghost” and signs all his notes as “OG”. He […]

The Witches go to The Opera.

November 21, 2015 by narfna Leave a Comment

The last time we saw the Witches, they were ushering off their third member into the perils of marriage, and to a King, no less. Anyway, Magrat’s gone now, and things are going funny without a third to balance things out. Nanny Ogg in particular is worried about Granny Weatherwax, who is terrifying under the best of circumstances. They take a trip to Ankh-Morpork after Granny learns that Nanny wrote a book that is a bestseller, but has gotten no royalties from the swindling publisher. […]
