Spider-Man at his best! ^ John Vornholt went all out when he wrote this great novel! It's a true page turner. The best spidey book I have read in a long time! Jam-Packed with action! You will not be able to put this book down, every page it keeps getting better and better. This is a good book everyone should read. The way spidey and the Lizard faced off was just great! This is a Slam-Bam action-packed book you'll love. If your looking for a good spider-man book to read well Valley of the Lizard is your answer!
Poorly written and not one of the best ^ Mr. Vornholt must be new to the Spider-Man story as this novel is poorly written and certain characters act out of character. Then again, the Lizard is the one Spider-Man villian that you can not do a lot of stories on, so it wasn;t all the fault of the author.
truley amazing ^ This novel was one of the best spider-man novels I read this year. Dr. Conners' journal entries were interesting and quite detailed. The cultural aspects were great. The story of greed and corruption totally blew me away. The lizard acted even more savage in this novel than in previous ones. This is a story of true loyalty and allegiance. It took place mostly in various regions of Mexico but the involvement in New York still existed. Peter Parker showed a compassionate side toward his friend. This story will truly change your thoughts on the Lizard showing you how cruel it can be. All the pain and suffering Curt Conners must go through is unbelievable. This is a must read for all marvel comics/spider-man fans. I was a little skeptical at first but trust me, ya gotta read this. So check it out.
Not very interesting story ^ The Spider-Man novel series started to decline in story quality and it started with this novel. The Lizard tries nothing new in the story except try to destroy his human alter-ego Dr. Curt Connors (been there, done that), take over the world with a band of intelligent lizards (been done on the animated series already) and peter parker must find him and stop him before it's too late. The action is too rushed, the plot is never developed to the extent that it becomes interesting, and the end is very anti-climactic. I can't reccomand this book.
Best of Genre ^ These marvel novels are hit/miss bets, but this one was a great surprize and on top of all the action, there is travel and some facinating cultural detail. Don't miss this one.
