Clash by Night Review, Aug 16 2003
By T. L. Walker "mortal_belleza" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Crow: Clash By Night (Paperback)
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.

When I read this I thought Wow it's a touching story that speaks to everyone. If they have to make another Crow movie USE THIS STORY Because IT TOUCHES THE SOUL. This is the story to use when talking movie it follows closely the emotional road that James O' Barr created. I lost my copy and I had to purchase it again just to have it because it speaks volumes to everyone who is a true Crow fan
