SIMPLY ,ABSOLUTELY,DOWNRIGHT AWESOME READING!

Very very well written and enjoyable. A must read for sure again and again. The Poe angle added a very wicked touch. All I can say is, that the crow(the man),and crow(the bird)make a awesome tagteam! Revenge is a dish best served cold,and man its north pole SUB-ZERO COLD! I knew I would love this book,once I saw the bird do more that just flap,fly and caw.It didn't take long for the action,and the tone to be set. The characters are well defined,and storyline has a few twists and turns,which only enhances this tale even more! This book would have made a great movie,not crap like the city of angles is. READ THIS BOOK! I qouth ; )

The Crow, The way it was intended to be.

In this fantastic novelization of James O'Barr's, dark avenger, an author, is murdered, and brought back to seek revenge on his killers. No his name isn't Eric Draven, its William Blessing.Blessing is brutally slaughtered by his "best" friend, and his wife, is savagly raped.Blessings Edgar Allan Poe obsession, is facinating, and what happens to Marquette at the end, makes you think.

i thought the book was clever

for all of you crow fans who like edgar allan poe, this is a great book for you to read, it has the feel of the crow and the crypt of Poe, i think you will enjoy it

absolutly entertainig. like the original and distinctive

I found it to be entertaining. As an aspiring writer myself also of dark fantasy I found that it captured the emotion superbly.

Interesting combination of romantic lore and modern horror

First, let's get things straight. Before you pick up this book, go read James O'Barrs original comic book series. If you like that, then watch the movie. If you enjoy both, pick up a collection of Edgar Allen Poe, or at least read " The Raven". If you survived all of that then pick up this book. Now you are ready. This story is a story of love and revenge. It is about a man doing something he knows is wrong but does it not for good or evil, but to bring peace to his soul. In it, David Bischoff parallels the lives of the characters to the life of Poe and his writings. His unique method of foreshadowing through use of quotations instills the excitement of knowing what will happen next, but to what extent? This in combination with the characters depth makes the book very fun to read. Finally, for all of you who were discouraged or confused by the movies( or just fans looking for a change), this book starts at the beggining of the story and works all the way through. (P.S. For a more bizzarre style, but still a good story, check out Poppy Z. Brite's "The Lazarus Heart".)
