Clash by Night Review

A brief synopsis: Amy Carlisle is a barren woman who finds a little piece of joy in running a daycare. Since she is unable to bare children, the children she tends to become her surrogate children. A extreme right-wing groups decides to send a message to the government, and Amy finds herself along with her children the plot of an extremist attack. In seeking revenge on the ones who hurt her and her children, she finds that she may just be turning into a monster herself.Wow, I really enjoyed this story. It was nice to see the story of the Crow with a female hero. I also like the premise of a motherly love that brings back the character rather than the love for a spouse or a lover. I think this is currently my favorite in the line of Crow books. Williamson describes scenes with a jarring vividness. I was even touched to tears in a couple of the scenes. He did an excellent job at showing how a mother's love and anguish. You could literally shape Amy's feelings-her rage, her love, her suffering-with you hands. Amy's a character that mothers and young women can relate to. She's a nurturer, but she also holds a gritty edge that makes her "cool".He also did a good job in combing the element of hate and politics into his story, giving it a gritty fill. I found it hard to stomach all the hate that flowed from the antagonist. My only complaint is that ending seemed a little rushed, but the twist of events at the end really made up for the seeming rushed finished.

excellent

this was one of the best books i'd ever read i would tell anyone to read it.because it just shows if you love and care for somebody anything can happen for you if you believe.

The Crow lives on in this book.

If you liked the movie or original graphic novel, you are bound to love this book. It deals with the raw emotion of having all you love stripped away, and all that's left is vengence.

Very Good Read

I feel that this volume in the Summer set of Crow novels was the best. It definantly was the longest of the 3, for the most part due to Chet Williamson taking more time to setup and explore than the other authors did. Once I hit chapter 25 there was no stopping me as I had to finish the novel after reading chapter 25 that evening. There are familiar characters used, like ANOTHER policeman helping out, but despite the lack of originality there I felt the story was fresh and capturing. I am more and more becoming a big fan of Chet Williamson. I highly recommend anyone to pick up the new Crow anthology book "Shattered Lives & Broken Dreams" and read Mr Williamson's short story in it. He has definantly become one of the best at telling Crow related stories.

THIS should have been the sequel!

I just finished this book in two days! It's THAT good. It pretty much follows the theme of the Crow mythos. Totally awesome! Much better than "The Lazarus Heart. Mere words cannot do the story justice. My suggestion? ORDER IT and enjoy!
