Title: An enveloping journey into a place beyond our comprehension
Review: American culture often protects us from the realities that occur all over the world. We live in a cookie-cutter sitcom world and it takes a prolific and informed source to bring us out of our illusions. S.P. Somtow does just that. The Crow has never been better in this atmospheric and careening dive into the underworld of modern Bangkok. You can't help but smell the sin and feel the pain around you while S.P. Somtow takes you on a tour of humanity's scarred underbelly. Our character, an unlikely hero. Our villan, a frightening reminder that evil lives inside man as part of us, his madness convincing and as far removed from the earlier, more contrived Crow villians as can be. Without giving anything away, this story is original, true to the Crow legacy, but a masterpiece all it's own and in it's own right. A must read, not for the faint of heart, or the closed minded. Somtow knows the subject matter and presents it beautifully.
