Summary: This Crow Misses Its Mark
Comment: Although the original text and subsequent film adaptation were remarkably moving and exceptionally presented, I wasn't very impressed with the third Crow novel. The first two didn't appeal to me, but since I've worked in early childhood education for the past eight years and the plot involved the bombing of a day care center by white supremicists, I thought I might check it out. Unfortunately, Williamson doesn't accurately portray day care -- granted, maybe the child care regulations in Minnesota are considerably laxed compared to Maryland, but it was enough of a distraction. To give Williamson credit, the action sequences are well done, sufficiently bloody and full of death to honor the Crow legend, but additional problems with this book, including far too many characters to keep track of throughout the story with poorly developed characterization, just don't make the book enjoyable.

Summary: Very Good Read
Comment: I feel that this volume in the Summer set of Crow novels was the best. It definantly was the longest of the 3, for the most part due to Chet Williamson taking more time to setup and explore than the other authors did. Once I hit chapter 25 there was no stopping me as I had to finish the novel after reading chapter 25 that evening. There are familiar characters used, like ANOTHER policeman helping out, but despite the lack of originality there I felt the story was fresh and capturing. I am more and more becoming a big fan of Chet Williamson. I highly recommend anyone to pick up the new Crow anthology book "Shattered Lives & Broken Dreams" and read Mr Williamson's short story in it. He has definantly become one of the best at telling Crow related stories.

Summary: Best Of The First Three Novels..
Comment: So far, this novel has been the best. The "villians" are justifiably hate able. And the avatar's reason for returning is not for their spouse or loved one but for the love of their children ie the children Amy Carlisle watched at the Daycare center. One thing confused me though. The villians had and kept their religious up bringing but( i don't truly recall)didn't that big gathering allow the anti-christians too? Besides that, the policeman helping the avatar seems cliched now and (maybe it's cuz Im male but)i thought Amy gave too much thought to what the cop was saying. The best of the three books so far and this i would partially recommend
