Rating:
Summary: for spidey fans primarily
Review: Okay first of all you should only really read this book if your a spiderman fan, but i suppose if you're lookin for something new and you don't know if you want to read this i would still reccomend it, but if you are not that interested, don't bother because even though i loved it, i love pretty much anything with spiderman so if you aren't a big fan i suppose you can pass it up. it gives an in depth descripton and out look on carnage one of my favorite two villians (the other being venom, both have the alien symbioent "costumes"). it's actually quite gruesome at least when carnage is the focus of the writing so if you don't much like violence in literature, i wouldn't ever read anything with carnage in it. i also reccomend Goblin's Revenge the novel that takes place right after this one, which is also a book by Dean Wesley Smith, possibly my favorite author, who does a lot of work on Marvel character novels. so if you are a big fan, get this book.

Summary: If you like Spider-Man and Carnage, this'll work for you
Review: The characters all function in the same fashion here as they do in the comics, right down to their powers/attitudes/etc. Except Spider-Man and Carnage. I've never been a huge fan of Carnage because, while he looks cool, he's basically another Venom (only "crazier"). But I can enjoy him for what he is... Anyway, there's a scene where Spider-Man is fighting Carnage high atop a bridge, and Carnage manages to get a surprise attack on Spidey by leaping from behind a strut or some such thing. Fine, you'd think Spidey would be dead. But nooo, his Spider-Sense kicks in and he avoids the lunge. Spider-Sense doesn't work on Carnage (or Venom) because the Venom costume/sybiote was once bonded to Peter Parker... Oh nevermind. Carnage also doesn't act as psychotic as he normall does, but I can forgivwe that. It's the "almost dead Spidey saved by his Spider-Sense that shouldn't have saved him" that raelly bugs me. What can I say? I'm a stickler for things like that. Overall; worth a read, but only if you like Spider-Man, Carnage, and a Green Goblin.

Summary: A wild ride on a web-line!
Review: This book doesn't let you get up until you're facing the back cover. Could have been right out of the Spider-Man comics! Admitedly, I'm a bit biassed; I've always loved David Michelini's writing, particularly Spider-Man, and Spidey's one of my favorite superheroes, so what's not to like? Still, I can't recommend this book enough. It would make you bite your nails, except you'd drop the book, lose your place, and never find out what happens. Hardly worth a couple nail-nibbles. Trust me, you'll ignore the urge and keep on reading. Hang onto your seat!

Summary: Action and suspense - Spidey's nightmare on the horizon
Review: This book is awesome. Lots of action, intrigue, and human emotions brought out in Spider-Man's attempt to overcome his deadliest foe. First, a mad dash for a serum that could destroy the country. Carnage brought to New York to neutralize his powers. It's excellent the way the two tie into each other as Spidey attempts to keep New York from becoming a slaughterhouse. Excellent book; if you like this book, DEFINATELY pick up "Goblin's Revenge", the sequel.

Summary: This Book was Incredibly Epic and Accurate About Spidey
Review: This book seemed to go on forever, but that was okay. I am a great fan of spiderman, and I didn't have an idea of what to rate this. The only thing I had on my mind was a five star. I didn't know what Carnage was, but I knew the villain's name. It's all in the title. The more the villains are destructive, the better. And the more the heros are heros, the fun goes on and on. Novels are better for you than comics.

Summary: One of the best spider-man books in a while!
Review: This is a good book everyone should read. The book has a great plot to it, and is full of action. Carnage was cold and vicious like he always is in the comic books as well as the books. Spider-man was also great like always is in most the books. It was all around a good book that I enjoyed reading, but the thing it lacked was description which I think is a key element for writing a good novel. Other then that I think that this book deserves a 4 star rating. I think that David Michelinie and Dean Wesley Smith are pretty good at writing the spidey novels and I look froward to reading another one.

Summary: Another decent Spider-Man read....
Review: This is just another decent read (in my opinion, Spider-Man never really got a fair shake as the others with these novels). This book isn't bad, but it isn't great either. The story is pretty decent (I never go into spoilers), but you can tell it wasn't written by TRUE novel authors. It feels shallow and incomplete, much like it was written by a high scool student for a writing assignment. HOWEVER, it is somewhat entertaining, not to mention you could finish it in a day EASILY if you have the time. Carnage is a decent villian, evenif he is a carbon-copy of every stereotypical serial killer you see in the movies and on TV. ....
