A book based on the Marvel characters. In this one, Hobgoblin has a plan to blackmail New York City. Also, there are random people being murdered and it looks like Venom is the one doing these murders. 
 I liked this novel. The author did an excellent job with the characters as she did portrayed the three main characters perfectly. She also captured the mood of the city which is a prominent factor in the Spider-Man universe. I liked how she portrays Peter's everyday struggles with normal life and still being a hero. She does this well with Mary Jane also. I do have to say I am not the biggest comic book reader. So I was a little surprised to see Venom portrayed as an antihero instead of a villain and might be the reason why my rating isn't higher. 
 This captures the essence of this universe and would be enjoyed by all fans as the reader is immediately brought into this vast universe with its well known characters. I do think it is geared more towards the serious fan than the casual fan. The casual fan might not know some of the established facts but these facts do not detract from the story.
