5.0 out of 5 stars justice for victims, 13 Oct 2003
This book is unique, I have never read anything which conveys emotions with such power. A beautiful story about love, vengence and the ultimate struggle between good and evil. This story makes me sad because what happens to Eric Draven and his fiance happens all the time to good people -their lives are destroyed by someone else. James O'Barr knows the pain of losing a loved one and he has drawn that pain onto every page of the book in the form of the Crow. Don't expect happy endings -there aren't any...

5.0 out of 5 stars who ever said revenge is evil & must be tinged with remorse?, 23 Jul 2000
By A Customer
I bought this long before the film came out & at once recognised it as watershed point in my life (I was 15). Now older with a wife & kids it still brings the same sense of hope in a hopeless place, love amidst hate. James O'Barrs rage against the motor car & the driver is heavily symbolised, with the setting being Detroit & the murders occuring during a romatic drive, as well as other images. As mentioned in the header, the thrust of the story is about the revenge against the gang who murdered him & violated his fiancee. The revenge isn't as poetic as in the movie, but to me that is a bonus. The revenge is hard, brutal, yet rarely sadistic & in some ways it is sympathetic as if the penalty is death but once death is on it's way there is no need to agonize it. There is an intellectuallism in the book absent from the film too, "martydom is now the price of salvation" being one example. All in all a catharsis for the reader if not for the author

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book I Have Read In Ages!, 13 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This book is an amazing story of revenge. i suppose i am being bias as i love the film also but it has so many feelings that come through the writing. You can feel the hurt and the pain that Eric Draven feels but you can also feel then anger and the revenge. This book is amazing and the writing of the book is magnificent!
