A review by mcf
Miles Morales: Spider-Man by Jason Reynolds

4.0

Though the presence of realism in a book about Spiderman might seem irrelevant at best, it's in fact the greatest strength of Miles Morales. As he showed in All American Boys (among others), Reynolds has a real gift for writing real people in real situations, having real conversations; Miles and those who surround him are no different. It must be a difficult task to seriously address socioeconomic inequality, racism, and violent crime within what is essentially a supernatural YA story, but Reynolds pulls it off without a hitch, and it's great.
