Apologies for continuing this off topic thread but I've just returned
from a weekend off-line (well mostly):

I own and have read *every* book Ballard has ever published. Crash
is my favourite book of all time. I have read it 4 or 5 times and
the number of people I've leant it to must be well into double
figures. I think the film is an exceptional work of art in its own
right, and pretty much agree with Gonzi's appreciation. Its worth
noting that Ballard himself was overjoyed with how the film turned
out and in a letter to Cronenburg said that 'the film continued where
the book left off'.
