Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Mary Jane, by Judith O'Brien, immediately caught my eye in the bookstore. Being a teenage female Spiderman fanatic, I bought this book right away. All in all, I enjoyed the book, and am hoping towards reading the next one soon.
My first impression once I started reading was that the prologue of this book seemed to be a little bit childish, and immature. Thankfully, by the time Mary Jane started high school, it seemed to have redeemed itself. It didn't exactly follow what some fans would precede as the proper Spiderman storyline, but it was entertaining none the less. Mary Jane, who wants to be a ballet dancer, struggles with an eating disorder as she moves to a new place. To her surprise, Peter Parker, a child she knew from fourth grade is once again in her class. As she remembers their close relationship in the fourth grade, her feelings overwhelm her.
The one part I loved about this book was the in-depth detail of Mary Jane and Peter's relationship, which isn't exactly shown in comics and movies. Although some of their dialogue was cheesy and made me laugh out loud, don't most things? I have to admit that after reading the prologue I wasn't suspecting to enjoy this novel as much as I did...I guess it comes from being a Spiderman freak.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who has a day off and enjoys a good sappy romance, especially involving the man in spandex we all love.
