4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, Aug 3 2003

By	Zach (Area 51) - See all my reviews

Emerald Mystery is one of the best Spider-Man books that I have read! It had a great story and the book never bored me, not even for a paragraph! If you sre a Spider-Man fan and have not read this novel, then SHAME ON YOU! Even if your not a huge fan of the Web Slinger give this book a try, you should be very entertained with it!

4.0 out of 5 stars BOOK REVIEW, Jan 7 2003

By	bobby (BOSTON, MA USA) - See all my reviews

TITLE- SPIDER-MAN: EMERALD MYSTERY
AUTHOR- DEAN WESLEY SMITH

SUMMARY- A PERSON DIED IN THE ALLEY AND THERE WAS A RADIATION SPOT NEXT TO HIM. THEN THERE WERE WEIRD ROBBERIES AFTER THE KILLING HAPPENING. SPIDERMAN AND BARB LIGHTNER JOIN UP TO STOP THE WEIRD ROBBERIES. THEY FOUND OUT WHO THE CRIMINAL WAS THAT WAS CAUSING ALL THE WEIRDNESS IN THE CITY FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THEY FOUND OUT THAT A EMERALD IS THE CAUSE OF HIS POWERS. THE PERSON WHO DIED WAS ON A CASE SO HE SAW THE EMERALD COME FROM THE SKY AND SO DID THE CRIMINAL, SO THE CRIMINAL SHOT HIM IN THE ALLEY AND GOT THE POWERS.

IMPORTANT SCENE- WHEN BARB WENT TO SHOOT THE EMERALD SPIDERMAN SAID, "NO! I SHOUTED AND TRIED TO KNOCK THE GUN ASIDE BY JUMPING IN FRONT OF HER." THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF SPIDERMAN DIDN'T JUMP IN FRONT OF HER SHE COULD HAVE DIED.

OPINIONS- THE BOOK WAS GREAT. IT HAD A GOOD CLIMAX AND A GOOD RESOLUTION. IT HAD A GOOD ENDING LIKE ALL BOOKS WOULD END IN AN ACTION BOOK.

RECOMMENDATIONS- I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO MY PEERS BECAUSE EVERYBODY LIKES SPIDERMAN.
I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ADULTS AND OTHER SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT THINK IT'S NOT WORTH READING AND IT'S NOT A GOOD BOOK TO READ IN SCHOOLS.

PONDER THIS- SPIDERMAN ALWAYS WINS, THE CRIMINALS ALWAYS HAVE HOSTAGES AND THEY ALWAYS LOSE

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprising reviews..., Nov 22 2002

By	Geonn W. Cannon "geonn" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was surprised to see the reviews of this book were so bad! I spotted this book at Borders the day after buying the movie on DVD. One of the reasons I bought it was because it was the only Spider-Man book available.

But once I got home, I didn't regret the purchase for a minute. The author did an excellent job characterizing Spidey, the mystery was very well done and the siege towards the end was wonderful. This book actually got me interested in Spider-books again.

My only complaint was the illustrations being so... well, they were bad.

But the book was highly enjoyable. I suggest people read excerpts or browse in bookstores, rather than use reviews from this site when considering the purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars IT [was bad]
I hate that it was told from 1st person POV, and that really
took away from the book. Also, there were almost no familiar characters. Read more

I didn't much care for the book, but cover artist Vince Evans is amazing!!
I love all of his Marvel covers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good ideas, a little careless.
I like this author a lot; this book really stands out from the other Spiderman novels in being less action and more perspective based. Read more
