Reactions and Reviews

From front page to back, this is the most consistently well-written, entertaining fanzine I've read. Christine Reynolds' trilogy in particular stands out as a sensitively written portrayal of Erik's life, from before his meeting with Christine, through and after the events of the ALW musical.[1]
