While these stories do not, in fact, do everything a spider can, they do entertain reasonably well.

[ AUDIOBOOK ]
Story: 3/5.
Audio: 5/5.
Narrated by Thom Rivera.
This is a collection of short stories, written by different authors, and their vision of our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
For someone who is a fan of Spidey, I found this to be quite entertaining, but I must admit that not all stories were my favorite. Actually, there were only 3 or 4 of them that I was excited to listen to. The others are not bad, but they’re not that remarkable.
Still, it was a nice ride since a lot of Spidey’s favorite villains were here, and the narrator made a wonderful job portraying all sorts of different voices, so they felt like they were alive, straight out of the comics.
One thing that made me cringe a lot was the way authors referred to MJ. I mean, she’s never been a favorite character of mine, but the Peter I know, the Peter I love is not obsessed with her. Also, I would have loved to see more or his love interests like Gwen Stacy and so.
Overall, this is a nice reading, so if you’re a fan of the Amazing Spider-man, I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy this!
