A review by a_chickletz
Angels of Music by Kim Newman
Did not finish book.
As a Phantom of the Opera fan I usually find time for interesting Phantom books.
Finding out this one existed, well, I had to grab it from the used book store I frequented. I also checked out the reviews. Some people enjoyed it, others did not. Where would I exactly fall.
Well, I'd fall in the group of people who sadly could not finish it. I felt probably a disconnect because the lack of the Phantom, and the sheer absurdity of it all. I wanted more involvement from Erik.
Instead, it was more or less a Charlies Angels fanfic. There was obviously some research done to grab the various women from novels that would exist around this time to play his 'angels'. Still, I felt that some of their characters were a bit off. (Trilby for one.)
I guess I'm not the reader for this book. If you enjoy a book that obviously inspires Charlies Angels, Wild Wild West, and various gothic or French literature females then you'd enjoy this book.
