5.0 out of 5 stars superb, February 26, 2000

By	"weaponx" (Middex, Ealing United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Well there aren't many books around that you would not want to put down till you have finished reading it. But this book is certainlyone that fits in to that catagory. From begining to the end, this book will keep you in suspense. I just don't think that words can do justice describing this world. Just imagine being in a wrold where the X_men have become evil and killed or impresioned all the other superpowred humans. Imagiane wolverine free to kill at will. Well stop reading this and buy this book now. I promise you it will not disapoint

5.0 out of 5 stars Parker vs. Parker is _fantastic_!, February 1, 1999

By A Customer

I don't know what I liked better in this excellent book, the Spidey/Bishop banter in the alternate universe, or the confrontation between the two Peter Parkers, which was just _amazing_. The "main" universe stuff was okay (I loved the Beast telling the Rhino he should rename himself "the Hippo"), but the alternate universe was brilliant. Great stuff!

4.0 out of 5 stars Like looking into a blackened mirror..., December 23, 2003

By A Customer

The parts of this novel that centered on Spider-Man and Bishop in the alternate reality were very interesting, and at the same time very disturbing. The X-Men have taken over much of America, if not the world, and imprisoned any superhuman that refuses to get with their program. Peter Parker is a selfish jerk (apparently) who used his powers to gain fame and fortune as revenge on everyone (Flash Thompson in particular) who ever mistreated him in his pre-spider-powered existence. The most disturbing thing about it all is that everyone in the alternate Parker's life is happy as can be, and even Eddie Brock is still a respected (I think) reporter. Of course, this gets our Spidey back into the whole "Spider-Man is a curse on everyone I love" funk. In the end, he gets over it, and is pleasantly surprised when he realizes that the other Parker is more like him than he thought.
