Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book about an amazing movie
Review: Fans of the late Brandon Lee and of the movie "The Crow", I highly recommend this book. The book describes in detail of the events before and during the filming of "The Crow", from the creation of the comic book "The Crow" by James O' Barr... to the start of production... to the tragic shooting death of Brandon Lee... to finishing the film without Lee using computer technology and stunt doubles. It also talks about the other people involved in the movie, (i.e. actors, actresses, director, producer, stunt coordinator, etc...). This book not only describes the events that took place during the filming process, but also has a short, but informative bio on Brandon Lee before he took on the role as Eric Draven. The most gripping part of the book is when the author, Bridget Baiss, describes the events leading up the the shooting death of Brandon Lee, until his death on the operating table. It was so thoroughly described that I felt I was actually there to witness it for myself, it sent chills down my spine as I read it. For those who want to get the whole story of this amazing movie, and the tragedy that happened because of it, this is the book to read.

"This is the best role I have had the opportunity to get my hands on".

Summary: Better than expected
Review: 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...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very well written, insightful, and moving
Review: I felt the author did an excellent job of educating readers about the production of the Crow, and movies in general. The book also personalized the death of Brandon Lee by providing such detailed and moving insights into the people involved with the project and with the movie's star. I felt the book started strong and kept picking up the pace and excitement as it went. I would recommend this book to any movie lovers or fans of the Crow.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Such a wonderful Book~!
Review: I really enjoyed reading "The Crow -Story behind the film"...every chapter,every page,EVERY WORD was exciting to read on through this book.Perhaps because I am such a Brandon Lee fan and still 'til this day do I believe that The Crow was arguably his best work ever..and this book tells it ALL~!......from its origins as first starting out being a comic book,trying to make this gothic love story into a film,the struggles of making the movie,of course the hugest tragedy which took the life of the young star,the cause of his death and how the movie was finished without the late Brandon Lee......the best part about this book was how the author got so much information from different cast and crew members who were all once part of the film....this was the best part about the book since I was so curious to know how each and every person who was responsible in making this film felt about making it and how they reacted to that fateful nite of the shooting .....as well as how they or if they ever learned to cope with this difficult experience.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to every CROW/Brandon Lee fan or anyone who once saw this film and became interested in what exactly happened on the set to this promising actor who had such a promising future .......I have collected many Brandon Lee memorabilias in almost the past decade but I must say that this book is definitely the most treasured one I have since it closes the ending chapter to the person I admire so much.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: For the first time I understood how Brandon Lee was killed
Review: This book surprised me. Although I am a fan of the original Crow movie, I didnlt expect the book to be so thoroughly researched. I was fascinated by all the details of how the movie came to be made, by the accounts of the struggle to shoot the film, and by all the characters. For the first time I understood exactly how Brandon Lee was tragically killed, and this part of the book was extremely moving and insightful. A gripping read !
