Worth The Money,
By
This review is from: The Crow (Paperback)
Well, it was a few months ago when i ordered this book off Amazon, having heard so many good things about it. I am not heavily into comcis and graphic novels, but read the odd one now and again. And for those of you who seem to think this book is for teenage goths, I am just a normal teenage lad who was looking for something to read which was a bit more involving than the mainstream rubbish you seem to get these days.And all I can say is 'wow'. The art is possibly the best I've ever seen (even if I was kind of suprised by Eric's somewhat femine appearance at times), and the writing is equally impressive. OK, so the gore is a bit over the top and perhaps un-needed, but if you look beneath it all you can see a very tragic story. I am not even goin to mention James O'Barr and whatever it was that happened to him and inspired him to make this book, because it has no relation to the pure quality of it all. An excellent read, and not just for goths!

A Love Story masterpiece,
By
This review is from: The Crow (Paperback)
It took me seven long years to finally find this novel. When I recieved it in the mail and openned it up, I was not dissapointed. As a matter of fact, this is the only piece of art (movies, books, etc.) that has ever really made an impression on me.The story is a classic love and revenge story. Man and woman who are deeply in love are both murdered and man comes back to life to avenge their murder. However, James O'Barr has written this story with such a passion(this story is loosly based on his own personal tragedy). It's as if he bleed his soul on paper and put it into book form. However, this book should be read with a slow pace. It is easy to miss some of the smaller things in this book. I made the mistake of reading it fast. I went back and read it slowly and it was five times better. A must read if you are into a. Comics b. Love Stories or c. Poetry

A vision of wonders.,
By Abbie (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Crow (Paperback)
So you open the cover, viewing already some magnificient artwork. Then there's the foreword. A touching thing to enter J. O'baar's graphic novel with. Then, flip of the page, and we have a memeralia for Brandon Lee, our friend whom died in the making of the moving. Generously, it's nice.This story is a fine line on wonder, and mystere. Sadness, and despair. The whole imagery has a kind of emotion to it. Generally, I recommend this book for ages 16 and up. I loved it.
