Customer Reviews

for spidey fans primarily

Okay first of all you should only really read this book if your a spiderman fan, but i suppose if you're lookin for something new and you don't know if you want to read this i would still reccomend it, but if you are not that interested, don't bother because even though i loved it, i love pretty much anything with spiderman so if you aren't a big fan i suppose you can pass it up. it gives an in depth descripton and out look on carnage one of my favorite two villians (the other being venom, both have the alien symbioent "costumes"). it's actually quite gruesome at least when carnage is the focus of the writing so if you don't much like violence in literature, i wouldn't ever read anything with carnage in it. i also reccomend Goblin's Revenge the novel that takes place right after this one, which is also a book by Dean Wesley Smith, possibly my favorite author, who does a lot of work on Marvel character novels. so if you are a big fan, get this book.

This book is great-Jake

I'm a huge Spider-Man fan. I saw the movie and I'm begging my dad to take me again. I got into Spider-Man about a year ago. Around that time I was just looking around on this sight when I saw this book. I bought it immediately... and I loved it! It was a definite page-turner. This book has comic book-like drawings at the beginings of every chapter(highly detailed).It is not like that Venom book. It gives great accounts of the fights between Spidey and Carnage. Unfortunately, this book is rather disturbing. For example, Carnage criticized someone then brutally slaughtered him. A few pages later, Spider-Man finds the remains of one of Carnage's victims draped over a balcony and then has to save a woman Carnage threw over it.Do me a favor. Buy this book(Hope I didn't spoil it too much for you!)

Action and suspense - Spidey's nightmare on the horizon

This book is awesome. Lots of action, intrigue, and human emotions brought out in Spider-Man's attempt to overcome his deadliest foe. First, a mad dash for a serum that could destroy the country. Carnage brought to New York to neutralize his powers. It's excellent the way the two tie into each other as Spidey attempts to keep New York from becoming a slaughterhouse. Excellent book; if you like this book, DEFINATELY pick up "Goblin's Revenge", the sequel.

the best SM book...and ive read lots of Marvel novels!

the novel is great. the best novel by the best (i think) spider-man novelist! the book never leaves your hands 'cause it is good, you want to read more!! i read it in about 3 days.

A great story for all you Spidey lovers!!!

In his spectacular novel, Spidey finds himself going head-on with Cletus Kasady, a.k.a. Carnage. Carnage has gotten a hold of a strange vial filled with liquid that can make you insane with one drop! It's a perfect way for Carnage to wreak havok and Spidey has to stop him. And he has to save Aunt May from losing her house! Can our man do it all? Read it and you find you'll love it as much as I did!
