Incredible

This is possibly MY second favourite book in the trilogy (Venom Factor being the first fav). There are a TON of things I like about this book, making me want to read it over and over again. Especially when Spidey discover's one HUGE mistake that Ock made (Hey, what makes you think I'm gonna say it for those who haven't read it yet?) and foil Ock's umpteenth ruthless plan from making the Earth a living nightmare. And where's a good book without the symbiote Venom causing havoc, yet giving Spidey a helping hand in defeating Ock? Nowhere else but here.

Very Good Story

What I've liked about Diane Duane's approach to writing Spider-Man in these novels is that she stays so faithful to how Spidey was created by Stan Lee. A Down to Earth hero with problems that everyone can relate with! I liked the cell-phone mystery that Diane wrote in this story,of Venom and Spider-Man teaming up to stop Dr. Octopus from blowing up New York, and how Mary Jane is given a lot of attention in the novel. Helping make the money ends meet while her husband is off saving the city. In a way this marked the end of the first round of Spider-Man novels begun in 1994 and it was a good way to end it.

Very good but takes a while to read.

The book is about Spider-Man and a tangle up with his most worst villans Doc Ock and Venom. This was a very good book but takes long to read and hard to follow but you get suspense at the end of the story with the bomb and everything. It all starts with a simple cellularphone investigation but ends up as a mystery-suspense. It was a really good book. It was very fun to read and it's god to do a book report on because it'll make people get excited and want to read the book. I just want to say if your up to a good book and you hate Reading Rainbow read this book and you will probably get the idea that Venom is wicked strong.

*SNIFF* Do good things HAVE to end?

This was a book I read over and over(just like The Venom Factor). A perfect, funny, and exciting end to the wonderful saga of books starring Venom & Spiderman that Diane created in 1994. But why did it have to end!? Anyway, you HAVE to read this! It's to cool to miss!!
