Book Reviews of The Crow: The Story Behind the Film
Book Review: To Find Out What Really Happened . . . .
Summary: 4 Stars
As a longtime Crow fan, I was interested in finding out exactly what happened behind the scenes during the production of the film. Baiss' book does an excellent job of providing this information, through the use of quotes taken from several crew and cast members. My only criticism is how poorly the book was written. I am not sure who the editor is, but the book is riddled with grammatical and typographical errors to the point where I don't understand how it made it to publication. Her flow is also a little difficult to follow in places, although this may simply be a result of Baiss being a first-time writer. Also, most of the major individuals involved in the production of this film, including the director, would not speak with Baiss, so the account is mainly from the view of several cast and technical crew members. I would, however, recommend it for those interested in what really happened during production of "The Crow." I came away knowing more than I had before, even if I had trouble wading through all the typos.Book Review: Awesome

If you loved the movie, you will love this book. It was so in depth, it answered questions i hadn't even thought of.Book Review: Hillariously misguided
Summary: 2 Stars
This book cracked me up. In the Preface the author explains that she got dragged to the movie and thought it was okay but nothing special; then she heard that Crow-related stuff sold really well so she decided to write a book she says. In the Introduction which follows she tells how she contacted every single person involved with the movie -- and none of them would talk to her (well, okay, so two or three actually did, but none of the major players, she admits). But she decided to write the book anyway. The rest of the book is riddled with typographical errors.I enjoyed this book, don't get me wrong, but it offers nothing new and felt a little dry to me, written as it is by someone with no passion for the film or the comic upon which it was based.

It`s very interesting to see the authors` ideas.i have also seen the film but it is not as good as the book.The description of the feelings in the book is written so very good that you can simply identify with it. it is interesting that the book has not a right happy-end.Book Review: Better than expected

I bought this book because I'm a big Crow (the first movie) fan. And since it not easy to get some real info on this movie where I live, this book gave me a really good look at the movie and the tragical accident of Brandon Lee. After all these years there were questions playing in my head, but by reading this book, most got answered. I really recommend this book to all people who want to know more about this film...
