Summary: O's review shawty
Comment: I enjoyed this book because the story was extremely well written,and the imagery elements make you feel as though you're in the book. And with the addition of venom, the book gets a 4 out of 5!

Summary: imbalance
Comment: I had high hopes for this book, which I picked up secondhand. After all, Diane Duane has written some pretty good stuff over the years, and Spider-Man is a great character. Too, the different medium--the novel--generally makes for an interestingly altered version of the character than one usually finds in the comics.
However, while the characterization in this novel was interesting--and, as always, Duane's prose is pretty smooth--there is a definite imbalance between many long, dry expository sections and the very few, halfheartedly-realized action sequences they lead up to. Yes, this is a novel, not a comic book. Yes, a novel cannot feature the non-stop slam-bang stuff that marks so many comics. But holy smokes, folks, this read is nearly tedious.
The book, in short, is a bit less than satisfying as an action tale, and about adequately satisfying as a novel of intrigue. As a super-hero novel, it barely ranks. It's not a *bad* tale, as such, it's just not nearly as good as it could or should be. My advice? Skip this one, and go find an old copy of Len Wein and Marv Wolfman's _Spider-Man: Mayhem in Manhattan._
Rating: 5
Summary: Incredible
Comment: This is possibly MY second favourite book in the trilogy (Venom Factor being the first fav). There are a TON of things I like about this book, making me want to read it over and over again. Especially when Spidey discover's one HUGE mistake that Ock made (Hey, what makes you think I'm gonna say it for those who haven't read it yet?) and foil Ock's umpteenth ruthless plan from making the Earth a living nightmare. And where's a good book without the symbiote Venom causing havoc, yet giving Spidey a helping hand in defeating Ock? Nowhere else but here.
