Obvious target audience is young teens. Nevertheless I enjoyed this book version of the movie.

Miles Morales is your typical teenager. He is embarrassed by his parents, school is a chore where no one seems to like him since he is the new kid, and he would rather escape into his artwork. Then he gets bit by a strange glowing spider and suddenly he is growing wildly and he has strange new powers. Could he be a new Spider-man? Maybe with the help of some displaced mentors that understand him better than he can guess.
This is the junior novelization of the movie of the same name. Junior novel just means that it is written to be accessible to a younger reading audience. Unfortunately, they no longer make an "adult" novelization of Marvel movies like they used to do. Truthfully, I really miss those novels. They were nice because they could go into a lot more detail than the movie could. You could "hear" the character's thoughts so you could catch motivations and nuances of the characters that the quicker visual medium of the movie (and even the comics) could. The junior novel really doesn't go that much into detail and nuance as those adult novels did. In fact, it is much more like a written comic. Don't get me wrong, it is still a good adaptation. (Especially considering I did not get to catch the movie in the theaters.) I am also sure that they will be more likely to sell comic book novels to younger crowds so it makes sense. I just miss the option of having a more in-depth "adult" version.

its a very well written story with some omissions from the original version for younger readers, the story itself centers on Miles becoming Spiderman his interaction with Peter Parker before he is killed and replaced with another peter and then several more spider men from around the spiderverse. If you have young readers giving them themed books with characters that hold their interest may help hold their reading interests a bit more. I know when I was younger star wars comics were a must have as they got released and today as new comics and novels are released I devour them instantly.

It's ok. Tho I just realized it was focused on Miles so there are some things that are left out.
I didn't liked the Spider-Ham's response to the mourning of Miles, in the movie Spider-Ham said "The hardest thing about this job is...you can't save everybody" but in this Novelization he said "For me… it was when my uncle was killed in front of me. Uncle Frank Furter. He was electrocuted. It smelled so good".
Ok it sounded more tragic because his Uncle Frank died in front of him, but he shouldn't have it smelled so good.
Anyways it's a good read.

Fun, readable book depicting the movie plot and centering on Miles Morales. Spideys from several universes enter the fray as Wilson Fisk's diabolical plot to destroy universes challengescthe Spideya to work together. Miles, bitten by a Spider, is all new to this. But the need to help becomes greater than his fear. Great characters, easily explained in short chapters.

This is a good book adaptation of the Spiderverse movie. While it does not capture the aesthetic and beauty of the animated movie, it does depict a less-graphic story that is good for younger audiences. I also liked how the author included some scenes that got deleted from the movie, showing more of the originally-drafted story.

Great alternative if you didn't get to watch the movie in theaters like everyone else, and unlike many other junior novels, this one doesn't quite leave you wondering what happens next because it reads like a full storyline instead of just a fraction of one.

This book did a good job of summarizing the movie, and even a kid who hasn't seen it could enjoy the book. I do think it works better as a movie than it does as a book, but part of that is because it was such a visually stunning movie. Still, a great recap!

This was a pretty good, quick version of the Into the Spider-verse story, although it was definitely an abbreviated version of the story. The narrator did a good job, but I do wish he could have done different voices for the different characters (Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, etc.)

Nothing New, sama persis kayak di filmnya.
Tapi bagi yg mau belajar cara deskripsiin dari visual ke kata-kata, novelnya oke baik.
Udah gitu vocabnya gak sulit dicerna, mungkin karena junior novel kali ya. Lalu bab nya juga pendek2, total cuma ada 24 chapter aja.

My kids had a good time with this audiobook. It’s a really solid novelization of the film. Definitely one I would recommend to a reluctant reader. Because it’s easy to visualize and understand if multiple forms of media are needed.

It's too bad Marvel didn't decide to do a proper novelization of one of their most original films. I guess the Junior Novel will have to do.

4.5 stars

This just didn't work as audiobook for me The performance was fine.. The way the story played out was just bad. We never hear most of the characters talk. They have very little voice in this book which makes the audiobook weird.
I think they tried to fit the run time of the movie to the audiobook. The problem with that is they left out a lot details that needed to be stated since we obviously can't see it. This would be impossible to follow if I hadn't seen the movie.

It felt like this was written from memory and the author forgot a bunch of stuff so missed it out or completely changed it. Fun read but even I knew where he went wrong without watching the film.

Kinda corny.

What expected it to be, so good enough. Movie was better, of course.
