Here's what I wrote after reading in 1987: "The story of Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boelyn and Queen of England for ~fifty years.

Da das Phantom der Oper in dem berühmten Film/ Musical/ Buch schon an die 50 ist, kann man sich natürlich fragen, was es vorher gemacht hat.

Psychologisch erscheint mir Erik aber dennoch etwas gar grobschlächtig skizziert. Mir hat das Buch ein paar schöne Stunden beschert, aber mich nicht über die Maßen begeistert.
