Book Description

Based on James O'Barr's classic graphic novel, The Crow is the ultimate cult movie, with a dedicated worldwide following and two sequels, with The Crow 4 currently in production. Now, ten years after the original film was first released, the full story of this seemingly cursed production can finally be told...

On March 31 1993, while The Crow was in its last days of filming, its star Brandon Lee (son of the legendary Bruce Lee) was shot and killed in a strange on-set accident, as he was actually filming his character's death scene. Using scores of first hand accounts from the cast and crew, author Bridget Baiss describes in detail the bizarre chain of events which led up to this fateful day, and beyond, to the film's final, triumphant release.

5 out of 5 stars Story behind the book.......2007-09-15

I really recommened this book to anyone who liked the movie the Crow of just happens to be a fan of Brandon Lee. I really thought that in some parts of the book where hard to follow and not that interesting, but some of the stories and the facts were just so interesting. By reading this book, I felt like I got to know who Brandon really was. He seemed like a sweet,caring person who everyone really loved. But keep in mind that when you read the chapter of the gunshot, that is when the books tends to get hard to read. The book goes into detail of what happened to when he went to the hospial. I really think the author did a good job on researching this book.

I was fully expecting this book to be like a rehashing of every media account of what happened on the set of The Crow, but it surprised me by its tone and the way the subject matter was handled. I would recommend this to anyone who's interested. It is worth a read.

After reading this one more time, you learn a lot that you may have not known before. The main thing i learned was how much of a loveable and warm guy Brandon was. Personally, my last sentence and the title of my review say all I need to say.

5 out of 5 stars The Crow: The Story Behind the Film.......2002-04-11

The Story behind the film was very sad the they were filming the movie, they though that he was acting, but he wasn't he was real hurt badly. That part was the saddest part. I think some one real wanted to killed him so they can have the part and get money. I think because of someone in the film was so jealous and put bullet in the gun and let the guy to shot it and so they won't get busted. So I think they should try to find that guy and put him into jail. And I heard no was put to jail, I was real mad be he wasn't white.

    Book Description

    To Nora Kavanagh, the tiny Irish village of Killala is the only home she has ever known. But her home is being ravaged first by the devastating Potato Famine of the mid-1800's, then by the merciless absentee landlords who threaten to take over her family's one precious possession the land. One after another, the fever brought on by the famine claims her husband, daughter, and closest friends, leaving Nora and her young son Daniel in immeasurable sorrow and poverty.

    Their single hope for the future lies with Morgan Fitzgerald, the love of Nora's youth. But his rebel activities with the Young Ireland movement keep him in constant danger. Morgan, a poet and wanderer, has never lost his wild and reckless ways, and all his good intentions may not be enough to save what remains of the Kavanagh family.

    Song of the Silent Harp begins the story of two Irish families trying to survive and hold on to their faith in God during one of the bleakest periods of Ireland's history. It is a story of deep spiritual struggle and commitment and of the surprising work of God among nations and individuals.

    The Ireland they knew and loved was crumbling around them. Could they survive the famine? And if they did, what would their world be like?

    3 out of 5 stars Incredibly Long...and Detailed..........2007-02-21

    Okay, so this wasn't as boring as Eragon(perhaps worst written book I've read in a long time, but I digress), and it was certainly well- written....but all in all I'd say it was just plain long. You will get a good feel for the hardships these poor people faced, but sheesh, they didn't get to America for how many pgs???
    As for overdetailing things, you'll prob know the character's middle names, favorite food, and birthmarks by the end.

    5 out of 5 stars Ballads of the Emerald Isle Series.......2004-12-04

    Five years ago as I was returning to upstae NY from a visit to my daughter in Texas, I asked her for a book to read as I had a long layover on the trip. She gave me the Song of the Silent Harp and my life changed forever. By the time the plane landed in NY, I was 3/4 of the way through it. I immediately called the Life Discovery Book Store locally and went over and bought the next four books in the Series. I read continually, only taking time out for the necessities, and was totally mesmerized by the stories. Let me say here, that both my parents were born in Ireland, and so much of the stories brought back memories of tales my parents told me about life in Ireland and their immigration to Upstate NY. I couldn't put the books down.

    I had a wonderful Italian friend, Angie, who loved to read and had an empathy for the Irish so I bought her the set of books and her last note to me before she died, she thanked me for introducing her to the writings of B. J. Hoff. She claimed it was the best gift she ever got. I subsequently gave a set to my younger sister, who ws traveling to Italy, and she likewise was mesmerized with the books, even more so than her trip to Italy.

    To read these books, the author gets you caught up in the story of what it was like to be Irish and an immigrant and makes me so proud to be of Irish descent. I have 10 grown children who are avid readers and the books are a real education for all of them and helps them understand the sacrifices their grandparents made and the hardships they overcame as immigrants. In the five years since I first read them, I have yet to read a book that left me with such wonderful feelings. I read that B.J. Hoff wrote these books from memories her grandmother shared with her about her life. The language is wonderful and can be read by anyone able to read. The books have a prominent spot on my bookcase. Thank you B. J. Hoff

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing Start to a Wonderful Series.......2004-09-05

    I read these books years ago when I was twelve or thirteen. I honestly couldn't put the books down once I started, I devoured them in every sense of the word and was not dissapointed. This book sparked in me a love for history and literature that I don't think ever will be quenched. My teachers that year were I think a bit shocked when I decided to pick the Irish Potato Famine as the topic for my research/presentation project. LOL You won't be dissapointed with this book or series, you will be left wanting more like I was.

    5 out of 5 stars This is only the beginning..........2002-07-11

    My friend got this book from the library when I was fourteen or so... I remember she kept telling me what a WONDERFUL, AMAZING book it was, and I could only think, "What on earth could be interesting about the potato famine?" She went on to read the rest of the series, and eventually through telling me more about the story, I became extremely interested, and when I read it it surpassed my wildest hopes. Of course, as I said, I was fourteen or fifteen, and girls that age live on this kind of book. I did live on it. I read it in two days and had to wait a whole week to meet my friend at church and get the second one from her.

    But enough on how I found B.J.Hoff... The "Emerald Ballad" series is the best series of books that I think I've ever read. I don't get into romance novels like Grace Livingston Hill or Janette Oke or Beverly Whats-her-name that writes the Amish soap operas - I find them pretty predictable and tacky... With B.J. Hoff I never knew what was going to happen, and she made it all seem so REAL. I have read all five of the books in this series through at least three times, some I've read four or five times. This first one is the best, and could stand alone. It's after you read the second book that you know you HAVE to read the rest.

    The story is, essentially, about three people - Nora Kavanagh, Michael Burke, and Morgan Fitzgerald. They were friends in childhood and went separate ways as adults. Nora married, Michael went to New York, and Morgan is a wandering dreamer who writes poetry, plays the harp, and is obsessively devoted to Ireland. It's been a while since I last read the book, so I'm not good with details, but this book has famine, fear, death, romance, white slavers, evil landlords, stuttering Englishmen, near hangings, one killing, one chase scene (what's a good story without at least one chase scene? That was Alfred Hitchcock's idea). But more than anything else, God is the centre of this story, providing all the central people with faith to pull through all the events and survive all the villains I mentioned above.

    You should definitely give this book a try. Now that I'm a bit older, it's no longer the staple and sustenance of my literary life but I still enjoy them once in a while and fondly cherish the memories of my friend and I going ga-ga over Morgan.

    Let me say a few words about Morgan. For one thing, he's a great big tall guy. For two other things, he has copper hair (which the sun can light ablaze) and green eyes. He's poetic and musical, as I said, and whenever he talks, his choice of words is fittingly dramatic, just as if it came straight out of those dear old melodramatic 30's movies. Personally I find that pretty neato. I would say that he was definitely my favourite character. My friend liked him a lot, but she liked Michael more. I learnt to like Michael a lot toward the fourth read-through, but Morgan remained my favourite.

    Okay, I believe I have waxed descriptive enough. If you want to know more, go get this book!

    5 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!.......1999-11-20

    I really like this book.It takes you from the dark dispair of the Great Famine of Ireland, to the shores of hope imigrating to the US. I was 1/2 way finished the book, and thought, I have to get the rest of the series! It also teaches about faith. You grow with the characters growth in faith. You can see that even in our darkest times, God does not abandon us. He's always there with us, and can use even the most dismal circumstances to bless us. Truley a good read!

      An excellent book by an excellent writer!McCourt has awaken the intrest in all of us to get to the bottom of what this song is all about.I think he has done it, and each time I hear it ,I will think of this book,and of what the song means to me.
      Though there are numerous ideas about what the song means,who was it to and from etc.,he has shown that doesn't really matter.It is a song expressing deep love,and it can mean whatever the listener wants it to mean.I have dozens of versions and although they vary greatly I love them all.I am always happy to hear it by another singer whether a professional or just an ordinary person singing from the heart.
      As to whether or not the words were written in Ireland by an Irishman;it doesn't matter in the least,it's a great Irish song.
      When you stop and think about it,there's no way it could be anything else but Irish.Johnny Cash wrote "Forty Shades of Green" as he was flying over Ireland,a school teacher living in Ontario wrote "Maggie" to his lover,and if that isn't enough, the song "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen" was written in America and had nothing at all to do with taking Kathleen back to Ireland,because she didn't come from there in the first place.
      However;all these songs are Irish .What you have to remember is that there over 50 million Irish dispersed all over the world including about 4 million in Ireland.This book would be a great gift for anyone with a song in their heart and a twinkle in their eye for there's sure to be some Irish in their blood.

      4 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised.......2003-07-31

      We don't know why "Danny Boy" touches our hearts -- but it does. I was pleasantly surprised to have a chance to learn something about the lore that came together to help create the feeling whenever I hear this ballad. You may want to consider reading the novel Yours, Aiden (isbn 1403319898)as it too creates a stir within.

      3 out of 5 stars An entertaining, though relentlessly folksy, book.......2003-02-23

      Beyond question, the melody variously known as "Danny Boy" or "Londonderry Air" is one of the great tunes of all time. Its measured rising and falling cadences would grace the catalog of Franz Schubert or any of the other great classical vocal composers.

      Malachy McCourt, brother of novelist Frank McCourt (ANGELA'S ASHES) and a well-known writer and radio-TV luminary in his own right, has produced a curious little book of less than 95 pages about the famous tune and its well-known lyrics. His book is part history, part speculation, part myth and part personal editorial essay. And it is not free from touches of Irish blarney.

      McCourt's findings may surprise --- and dismay --- many. The great tune, long since adopted as a kind of unofficial Irish national anthem, may not be of Irish origin. A folklorist named Jane Ross supposedly first noted it down around 1851. She reportedly heard it played by a blind fiddler, Jimmy McCurry, in Limavady, Londonderry --- but there is at least a possibility that the melody may have originated in Scotland. No one knows for sure. At least one respected musical scholar claims that the tune follows no known metric scheme for Irish folk music.

      Many different sets of words were attached to the tune after its first publication in 1855 --- but those that have become indissolubly identified with it ("O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling, from glen to glen and down the mountainside....") were written in 1910 by an English lawyer and song-lyric cobbler named Frederick E. Weatherly, who probably never set foot in Ireland. They were actually intended for a different tune, but when Weatherly's sister-in-law sent him some years later the familiar melody from her home in Australia, he saw that it was a perfect fit for his earlier verses. Thus an "Irish" classic was created from a melody that may be Scottish and words by an Englishman.

      McCourt gives us this information straightforwardly enough, but he fleshes them out with a good deal of barely relevant material. It seems strange to arraign a book of 95 pages on charges of padding, but the complaint seems justified. McCourt solicited opinions about the song from Irish celebrities (including brother Frank) and speculates at length on such side issues as who is singing the song and to whom it is addressed (one possibility among several: it is the song of Danny Boy's gay lover!). The author's tone varies between straight historical writing and folksiness, including occasional cutesy use of "tis" and "t'was." McCourt also grinds a personal axe or two. He thinks ill of those Catholic dioceses that have banned the singing of "Danny Boy" at funerals because it is "secular."

      There are some fascinating bits of trivia here, however. Victorians hesitated to refer to the song as Londonderry Air because, to their prudish ears, it sounded too much like "London derriere." Irish nationalists never use that title either, because they want no mention of London in the title. Wordsmith Weatherly was once in legal partnership with one of the sons of Charles Dickens. And another of Weatherly's lyrics was the popular "Roses of Picardy," set to music memorably by Haydn Wood. Wood studied under the composer Sir Charles Stanford, who quoted "Londonderry Air" in one of his Irish rhapsodies. Make of that what you will. This is a curious little book, entertaining in its quirky way but almost undone by its relentless folksiness. "Londonderry Air" remains a musical treasure, regardless of its origin.

                  Book Description

                  Grandmaster Tony Kosten concentrates on aggressive treatments of the English - an approach that has brought him great success in tournament play. His book provides everything you need to start attacking with the English Opening, supplying players of the white pieces with a set of weapons that will equip them to challenge any opponent they face. There is an ideal balance of explanation and analysis, and practical examples illustrate the key themes.

                  5 out of 5 stars Beautiful work.......2007-09-26

                  Before i read this book i was an 1.e4 and 1.Nf3 player. This book by Kosten gave me the courage to play 1.c4. The book was well filled with variations that, if you have Fritz or a program like it, you can further experiment with the lines. Greatly entertaining.

                  4 out of 5 stars A well-done book, supplement it for most effect........2007-06-22

                  This is a very good book for those that are thinking of taking up the English Opening. The author's foundation is the Botvinnik System (featuring the pawn triangle c4-d3-e4, Nc3, Ne2, g3/Bg2).

                  The idea is to lock down d5 and to slowly go for an attack on the kingside or queenside, depending on how Black plays. One thing to keep in mind is that you must be PATIENT to play these setups! Playing too "aggressively" will surely backfire.

                  About move orders: Kosten will ask you to begin with 1.c4 and in most cases 2.g3. If you are intent on beginning with 1.Nf3, you'll want to check out Donaldson's A STRATEGIC OPENING REPERTOIRE.

                  This book also features schematic diagrams in the style originated by MASTERING THE FRENCH WITH THE READ AND PLAY METHOD and commonly employed in the "Easy Guide" opening books. There should be more of these, however.

                  To get the most out of this book, you'll want to get something that shows illustrative (annotated!) games relating to these systems. I am not sure what to recommend on that front, however, as I no longer play these systems and played them badly when I did play them. But that is not the book's fault: one must be prepared to supplement their opening learning and at that time I wasn't.

                  Recommended IF you supplement it with other materials.

                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent! .......2006-07-26

                  This is a very good opening book. If you enjoy playing English, this book is a must. Highly recommended!

                  4 out of 5 stars Repetoire with 1.c4.......2005-10-21

                  Basically this book recommends playing 1.c4, 2.g3, 3.Bg2, 4.Nc3. and explains how to fight for an advantage against the various black set-ups. This book would be beneficial for the average club player as well as stronger players. Will really improve your understanding of the game.

                  5 out of 5 stars Best repertoire book .......2005-09-03

                  The Dynamic English is the best repertoire book for White that I have seen. Of course, it cannot cover every variation in great depth due to space considerations, but it's clear, easy to remember, not likely to be "refuted" ever since it does not depend on one sharp tactical turn.
                  The English is also a good choice since most players don't prepare as much to face that with Black as they do to get ready for 1. e4 or 1. d4.
                  So the battle takes place on our turf and terms.
                  If you want a deeper analyses of the English, I can recommend the books by John Watson and Carsten Hansen. Keep in mind, though that some of Kosten's variations avoid the main lines, and so they are not covered as well elsewhere. And some variations in Kosten are considered to be Reti variations, so you'll need a book on that as well. But the Keres-Parma, the Pure Symmetrical with 5.a3, the Rubinstein, the Botwinnik setup -- you can find them in all the books.
