Carrie Griffin's Reviews > Spider-Man's Bad Connection

Last year, I read the first book in this trilogy and had quite a bit of fun with it, so I was looking forward to continuing the story. I enjoyed how Preeti continued with the plot points of the first and expanded upon them throughout the story. Peter is balancing his relationship with MJ, his internship at the Bugle, school, and his night job.

The stresses of trying to keep a semi-normal life outside of being a superhero greatly affect Peter. This stress is a relatable plot point. Also, I enjoyed seeing Peter wanting to help as many people he could and seeing the problems he was having while trying to. These are problems young readers can connect to, especially learning the importance of balancing everything going on in your life.

Peter’s voice is authentic. He feels like a teenager in every aspect of his character, and I know that kids will connect with him in this book. I like how we got other perspectives from MJ and the Spot, like we did in the first book. J. Jonah Jameson was again my favorite character in this story, and I enjoyed how Preeti expanded on him.

I enjoyed Spider-Man's Bad Connection quite a bit and will be reading the third book when it comes out. It is a book which would be perfect for middle-grade readers and other fans of Spider-Man.
