From AudioFile
This is a fully realized performance of Duane's book, and, like the original comic book series, it's fast-paced, vapid, exciting and loud, with ridiculous dialogue and fantastic situations. It's just what it purports to be. The background sound effects are particularly realistic, from swamp noises to a gantry at Cape Canaveral, with many bullets in between. The characters...well, if you were pining at home with your child for a husband who has turned into a big lizard and can't turn back, how would you behave? The actors do the best they can with writing that, given the premises, is pretty good. D.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

More About the Author
Diane Duane was born in New York City -- a descendant of New York's first mayor -- and worked there as a psychiatric nurse before leaving the profession for the only one she loved better, the business of writing. Since the publication of her first novel in 1981, she's written fifty more, not to mention numerous short stories, comics, computer games and screenplays for TV and film, and has picked up the occasional award here and there. (She has also worked with Star Trek in more media than anyone else alive.)
Right now she's probably best known for her "Young Wizards" series of young adult fantasy novels, featuring the New York-based wizards Kit Rodriguez and Nita Callahan -- in business for twenty-five years now, their most recent adventure being described in the ninth YW novel, "A Wizard of Mars" (just released in paperback).
DD shares a two hundred-year-old cottage in the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland with her husband, the Belfast-born novelist and screenwriter Peter Morwood, a laid-back white cat named Goodman, and various overworked computers... an odd but congenial environment for the staging of epic battles between good and evil and the leisurely pursuit of total galactic domination. (And a lot of ethnic cooking: her own favorite foods come from the cuisines of central Europe and the Mediterranean.) In her spare time she gardens (weeding, mostly), studies German and Italian, listens to shortwave and satellite radio, and dabbles in astronomy, computer graphics, iaido, amateur cartography, and desktop publishing ... while also trying to figure out how to make more spare time.
Her favorite color is blue, her favorite food is a weird kind of Swiss scrambled-potato dish called maluns, she was born in a Year of the Dragon, and her sign is "Runway 24 Left, Hold For Clearance."

An awful adaption,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spider-Man the Lizard Sanction (Audio Cassette)
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.

THIS WAS AN AWESOME BOOK,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spider-Man The Lizard Sanction (Marvel Comics) (Hardcover)
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.

Another Great Spiderman/Venom story!,
This review is from: Spider-Man: The Lizard Sanction (Paperback)
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!!
