Hey hey guys. I've been sifting through websites to kill some time and I found someone's review of Phantom of Manhattan (the novel, that is.). I just had to post this direct quote from the foreword for you to understand how idiotic Forsyth is: "He [Leroux] appears also to have made an error with the position, appearance and intelligence of Mme. Giry, an error corrected in the Lloyd Webber musical. His lady appears in the original book as a half-witted cleaner. She was in fact the mistress of the chorus and the corps de ballet, who hid behind the veneer of a starchy martinet (necessary to control a corps of excitable girls) a most courageous and compassionate nature." >)_< |

That was my reaction too.
How the heck can Leroux be wrong? It's his bloody book! *XD*

maybe they dont realise that? or they think Giry was real and Leroux was just slandering her? XD

I was thinking:

But it doesn't really align; not even if you put a space before it ((proboards eliminates such spaces)).

I know; and I knew you would think that even before I posted the first one.

Oh.  You shouldn't say things like, "It wouldn't stand." |

Well I wasn't going to say "It wouldn't hang".

But it's worse if it can't stand. Don't give Ant a hard rough time.

My favourite response to this so far (made by someone from, you guessed it, phanwank): "ALW is excommunicated from my fandom."  |

I particularly like the comment “Can't you see a rabid Gerard Butler worshipping, thirteen-year-old phanbrat coming up with a title like that”. So true, so very true.

I wouldn't be surprised it there was something entitled that in FanFic.
