5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top Spidey novels in the series., February 11, 2000

By A Customer

Spidey has the greatest cast of villians in the comics. Here in this wonderful book by Adam Troy-Castro, the Sinister Six are gathered by a mysterious man who has some kind of secerat plan to destroy Spider-Man. The ending of this book only makes you wonder what plan this will form into. According to more recent information from the publisher, Book Two of this trilogy should be out in late 2000 and Book Three sometime in 2001. I can wait for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adam-Troy Castro writes a GREAT Spider-Man story, March 25, 2006

By	Cindy Edge (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What an enjoyable read. Great story. Exciting.

I really enjoyed the descriptions and development of the characters. The Gentleman was someone to be feared and hated after just a couple of pages. He was chilling. But, I especially appreciated the authors treatment of Mary Jane, and the relationship between her and Peter. Her character really came to life here...

Can't wait to start the next in the trilogy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't Wait for Part II, February 5, 2000

By	Rob McKenzie-Kerr (Canada) - See all my reviews

The book was a very good read. Unlike other (recent) novels on Spider-Man this one drew on the wealth of background information on the character from his many comic series - without going over board or assuming the reader is aware of every aspect of the Spider-Man mythology.

I also like the fact that this book does not have Venom - this super villian seems to have had a lot of exposure in other books (and that is not to say I don't like the character). But the gathering of the Six has a lot of plots to follow which kept my attention through out the entire book.

Too bad the publisher could not tell me when Parts 2 and 3 will be available. If it is any longer I may have to re-read the book to keep the story fresh in my mind.

But I'll be ready to get the next two instalments.
