Summary: Dilligently Written Throughout Most of the Book
Review: I myself am a huge Crow fan. I found this book to be well written artistically, yet it did not have such a good storyline. The concept of the crow completely fell apart throughout the pages of this book. My high expectations of this book completely declined towards the conclusion of the book. The ending could have been much better judging by how the book was intriugely written in the beginning. Its not worth reading, especially in comparision to the amazingly captivating original Crow graphic novel by J.O. Barr.

Summary: it was brilliant i really enjoyed it !
Review: I really enjoyed it it was a great read and i let a few of my mates read it and they thought the same. The film of the crow is my absolute favourite and in my opinion this is an unusual follow up in that it is almost as good as the origional. Read on with it its great fun and just a really good read you will see what i mean when you finish it!

Summary: I did'nt really enjoy it that much...
Review: I thought the book was a little short. The author doesn't really develope his story. He seems more interested to kill off the "villains" as quickly as possible. I must admit that i liked the idea of torturing his victims as the poem describes. Butto tell you the truth , i wasn't really sure who the bad guy really was. Blessing seemed more of the evil one than Marquette. The book did'nt make that much sense and he only reason i went through with it was the poems in the beginning of each chapter. Well that's my opinion anyway...

Summary: Like Poe? The Crow? Horror movies? This is for you.
Review: If you had to ask me what sort of book this is, I'd say it's post-post-modern psych-action-horror. It's a strange stew of Edgar A. Poe, horror movies and literary themes using contemporary characters and held together by the basic story form used by THE CROW with Brandon Lee. The only recurring character from that movie here is The Crow. It's a story of love and revenge and Goths and academia and... Oh well, read it and tell me what you think!

Summary: Maybe the best(or at least better)is yet to come...
Review: In a word,average. The original by Jim O'Barr is still the best, with Chet Wiliamson's "City of Angels" novelization in second place. What this book series will need to survive,and gather new and old fans, is writers who can take this legend of the Crow and put some kind of new spin on it. Tie it into mythology, use a different setting, quit using the same style of villians over and over, just something different. Bischoff gives us a story that that does not start moving until the protagonist dies, three quarters of the way into the story. Then you have to start stretching your belief as this professor starts knocking off the bad guys like a dime store Freddy Krueger. Also, the professor came off as such an arrogant and unlikeable character, you really can't sympathize with him. The wife is window dressing and underwritten like every other character in the book,save the crow itself, which has all the best lines. Skip this one unless you're a die hard fan. Anxiously awaiting the Chet Williamson novel in this series, however. Curious about the Poppy Z. Brite novel, hope it doesn't get bogged down in twisted stuff.

Summary: The Crow, The way it was intended to be.
Review: In this fantastic novelization of James O'Barr's, dark avenger, an author, is murdered, and brought back to seek revenge on his killers. No his name isn't Eric Draven, its William Blessing.Blessing is brutally slaughtered by his "best" friend, and his wife, is savagly raped.Blessings Edgar Allan Poe obsession, is facinating, and what happens to Marquette at the end, makes you think.

Summary: A must for the Poe fan in the house
Review: Overall, Quoth is effective in carrying on the spirit of The Crow. A greater appreciation for Poe comes from reading this. I have since looked up the works of Poe to get a better understanding of his influence. Quoth lacks development in some key areas, but gives a very good read for the average Crow fan looking for more Crow related tales. The ending turns into a soupy mess (literally), but the prologue saves the ending. We are given a look into what happens to the Crow's avenged victim after death. It is a very satisfying end from the victims standpoint.
