Spider-Man 2

By: Peter David

Narrated by: Matt Walton

Follow the adventures of one of the greatest superheroes of all time in the official novelization of the major motion picture!

Two years have passed, and Peter Parker struggles to cope with the demands of life as a college student, a Daily Bugle photographer, and a crime-fighting superhero. But it hasn’t gotten any easier. Condemned by the press, tormented by secrets he can never reveal, forced to give up the girl of his dreams—at times the lonely burden of Spider-Man seems almost too great to bear . . . and the temptation to give up grows stronger by the hour.

Enter the archfiend Doc Ock, armed with a lethal invention powerful enough to destroy half the city. If Spider-Man tries to stop Doc Ock, he’ll be placing the lives of those closest to him in mortal danger. If he doesn’t, it could be the end of the Big Apple. With millions of lives hanging in the balance, high about Manhattan’s glittering skyline, Spider-Man confronts his destiny, his fiercest enemy, and himself.©2004 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.; (P)2004 Random House, Inc.

Spider-man 2

Good book. Just too many "bad" words in it.

Good, but abridged

I have the physical copy of this novel and thought it would be good to listen to it. Turns out, this is abridged. Large chunks are taken out from the novel itself. It would have been nice to know that before purchasing. If you can get over that, though, this was a fantastic read. I do recommend it!

AMAZING-SPECTACULAR

Very fun listen. I remember reading this when it first came out. Nuff Said.

For my son

Where does Spider-Man 2 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I downloaded this for my son, who is seven, and an avid Spider-Man fan. He sat and listened to the whole thing, playing along with his action figures. He really enjoyed it.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked that my son would sit and listen and see it and talk about it later. He will listen to it again and again.

Amazing!

Though this is the abridged version of the story, I didn’t miss anything. If anything it told the story of the movie with better pacing. It also added a few scenes. I’m not sure if they ultimately added to the story, but they were good. If you like Spidey and if you like the second Raimi movie, you’ll like this book.
