This read just like the movie! Peter Parker is trying to balance life as a superhero by night and a student by day. He's lucky he has support from his aunt and MJ. To make things more complicated though, Peter tries to balance a job at the newspaper too (of which he may or may not get fired from in this novel). Trying to be cool (and because he's directly told to), he starts using social media to communicate with others more often so he better keep his identity secret. Online, he starts to get anonymous tips about petty crimes... which he stops, but he misses the bigger crimes while focused on the tips. Something is off; Peter needs to figure it out fast... and stop Dots... the Spot ASAP.

What I loved most: the voice in this novel is wonderful - you really feel the teenage angst. I also love with and humor of Peter Parker in this story, I loved MJ's garden project, and I loved the social commentary on politics and corruption in this novel.

Narrator was perfect. Made it feel like I was listening to a movie. I also loved the voice!

This was only a 16 minute sample from the middle of the book. It sounded good so far, but I don’t feel like I’ve experienced enough to give it a true rating.

Not quite as message focused as the first book in the series, but another really fun and well written installment in this social media inspired Spider-Man series, The Spot is really having quite a year, after being the main villain in this years Across the Spider-Verse and now being the villain in this novel. I'm very excited to see where Chhibber takes Spidey next!

The audiobook is so well done. Dan Bittner is one of the best narrators for this teen/YA level fiction and I couldn't recommend this quality any more than I do.

When I got my copy of the book it was only 16 minutes. So I thought it was a comic or picture book in audio form, but it started at chapter 12. So this review is very limited. From what I heard it sounded fun and exciting, I am unable to follow the story because I started most of the way through and by the time I started to figure out the story it was over.

But 4 stars for potential?

My daughter is obsessed with Spider-Man so reviewing this book was a must. She loves the first book in the series and was thrilled to see the story continue. It was fun, short and engaging. Great for fans of Spider-Man and other superheroes.
