great book

I don’t really need to write a review because what I want to say about the book has really already been said in other reviews, but I do want to agree that it is an amazing book for fans of the movie, I was really surprised how much detail there was, I thought it would be a general layout of the events, nothing that you couldn't find on the internet, and I didn't think many people wanted to talk about it but it turns out that the author was able to get a lot of information and accounts from the crew and actors, I actually felt like I was transported back in time and living the events surrounding and during the filming of the movie and in some ways that was quite a difficult experience as there was a lot of sadness, negativity and tragedy surrounding it, not just with the death of Brandon, but even from the beginning from the author James O’Barr and other events that occurred throughout. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down and read it all in one night, I then when to sleep and had nightmares, it just leaves you in a dark place for a while. I've always wanted to find out more about what went on, about Brandon, other crew members and actors, how they finished the film, all these things, but I was left wondering whether I really did want to know as I think now it might change the way I see the film, maybe the fantasy and being on the outside was better than the reality.

This is a terrific book, very interesting. It's odd that there are a bunch of spelling and punctuation mistakes, but oh well. This is a pageturner of a book, a must-read for fans of the movie and/or Brandon Lee. Also, it offers a fascinating look into how a story turns into a script turns into a movie. Highly recommend.

I am older, and I freely admit my teenage daughter drug me to see The Crow when it came out. I was dubious and really didn't want to go, was not particularly interested in it except for the appearance of Bruce Lee's son. I am a huge Bruce Lee fan and I really didn't want to see this movie, knowing that Brandon was no longer living. When I walked out of the theatre, I was hooked all the way. I collect everything I can get my hands on regarding The Crow and Brandon. From the first page of this book, I was completely taken by both the writing style and the story. There is a lot to learn from this book and I thought I knew it all, but I was wrong. Excellent collectible, excellent reading and necessary for anyone wanting to know more about filming, movie making in general, the cast and crew of The Crow and Brandon.
