Don't be fooled by this "multi-voice audio adaption" hoo-hah. This is one of the worst audio dramas I've ever heard. Static. Boring. The actors couldn't act. Diane Duane could have written the most exciting book in the world and there's no way you could tell. Avoid at all costs.

I think that Diane Duane did it again and she did it very well. I think that she put the characters in a very well position and this was a surprise to see venom and spider-man getting along so well. So Diane Duane keep the good work up.

She did it again! Diane blew me away in this book! I think if you read the first one in this series(The Venom Factor) this is a defenite don't miss. I especially liked the blend of humor and ruthlessness Duane used when writing about Venom. That was cool!!

A fun Spidey romp by Ms Duane. Spidey fights the Lizard, natch, swamps involved, that sort of thing. Very competent.

After going to his friend Curt Connors for help, Spidey realises that Curt is having a few problems of his own. He tries to get the good Doctor's family somewhere safe, and then go and try and find the Lizard.

This novel had it's moments... I actually LIKE books that have plenty of Peter/MJ interraction, and this had some. But it really dragged in spots. There were a lot of pages spent setting up the story... even 3/4 of the way into it! Tedious.

I like venom and lizard man so this book was cool but dont get the audio tape its awful.

Diane Duane does an excellent job of capturing the characters of Spiderman and Mary Jane in this book. I like how she combined Peter's adventures as Spiderman with events from his real life with Mary Jane. This is what has always made Spiderman one of the most enduring characters in comics. He seems like a real person with real problems and not just some guy who fights bad guys all the time. I didn't really like how the Lizard was handled in this book, but the interaction with his wife and kid did add to the story. This book should appeal to any new Spiderman fans brought in by the movie, or to longtime comic readers like myself.

All right, I admit it probably would've been a good idea to read The Venom Factor first, but what are you gonna do? Diane Duane tells a somewhat interesting story about the Lizard heading into Florida (the Lizard really gets around, doesn't he)and Venom trying to kill him. Of course, Spidey can't let that happen. Personally, I like the idea of someone trying to take on the Lizard, but it doesn't pan out right for some reason. Venom seems way too powerfull, he even takes on both Spidey and Lizard like it was easy (besides, I thought only Spidey was on Venom's hit list). Plus the shuttle hijacker thing is too predictable and kinda distracts you from the main story. This book is okay, it just has some flaws.

Spider-man is great, and so is Diane Duane. Don't miss this excellent oppurtunity to read this book, it is really, and I MEAN REALLY GOOD! READ READ READ!
