    <body><![CDATA[I read a review within the very walls of this site that stated that this novel deserved no more that 2 stars.  The reasoning, it seems, is that all of the characters, other than &quot;the crow&quot;, are card board and underdeveloped.<br/><br/>I respect people's opinion.

    <body><![CDATA[I've seen the movie a million times. I was a die hard Brandon Lee fan before he got the starring role and went the way of Heath Ledger. But I had never read this. I had seen snippets, but it was never clear to me just how much of the book was Joy Division inspired.
