Summary: Fun Book with Scenes NOT in the Spider-man 2 Film!
Comment: If you like to read Movie Tie-In books, then this is a good one. This is a book written after the movie script was written, though some scenes and elements may differ, most of this book follows the movie closely, while adding some extra scenes.
You will read about the dinner date when John Jameson took Mary Jane to meet his dad, J. Jonah Jameson. This has some funny dialogue, and it touches on Spider-man's predicament of possibly endangering his family and friends if his secret identity was known.
We see the amusing night that Mary Jane met John Jameson, as well as the time that she got fired from the Moondance Diner, by Enrique' (her slobby boss seen in the first Spider-man movie).
In the book, Dr. Octavius has many lines of dialogue about b-movie scientist stereotypes versus God; which makes him a little more sinister, though it is strange, and unlike the friendly, pre-accident Dr. Otto.
We get to hear John Jameson's explanation to the crowd in the church, after getting the bad news note, which is really very intelligent and dignified, not angry or resentful. He really is a great guy!
There are also many brief, minor references for the knowledgeable comic book fans to pick up on, (the Man-Wolf, Gwen Stacy, Dr. Henry Pym, Namor, etc...).
The book has more instances of Uncle Ben invading Peter's thoughts, including more dialogue than the film gives Ben.
The artificial intelligence of Doc Ock's arms are given dialogue, too! They call him Father, and their thoughts are more defined than in the movie, where we only hear Doc Ock's side of the conversations.
It's also great to have some of the more memorable, major film dialogue in the book, like Aunt May's moving day monologue about heroes.
There is only one scene in this book that I am glad that it is not in the film. In the first chapter, Dr. Octavius is heading to give a lecture for Dr. Connors class, when he is kidnapped by a flying, giant robot, and Spidey gets involved. This is a lame, corny scene, but the rest of the book is terrific.
After seeing the great movie, Spider-man 2, this book adds extra scenes that are quite enjoyable.

Summary: AWSOME!!!!!!!!
Comment: This book is awsome and I know the movie will be even better. I loved the part were Spider-Man and Doc Ock are fighting on the train, but Spider-Man takes a good, hard beating in this. You feel his pain of dealing with his "gift and curse" also all the big problems he has in his life which seperates him from other super-heros. BUY THE BOOK NOW! you won't regret it.

Summary: Peter David rules
Comment: Peter David is just the PERFECT writer for Spider-Man 2, the novelization. His novelization of the first book was right on the money--and his Spider-Man comics are among the best comics ever written period. (Obviously, I'm a fan!!). Bravo!
