SPIDER-MAN : DROWNED IN THUNDER by CHRISTOPER L. BENNET

SYPNOSIS

J.Jonah Jameson, publisher of the Daily Bugle, has denounced Spider-Man from the beginning, convincing New Yorkers to see him as a criminal and a menace. But when a robot attack on Manhattan injures Peter Parker's students and Jameson blames Spider-Man, their feud takes on a new, personal dimension.


As the embittered webslinger faces further robot attacks, each deadlier than the last, his spider-sense warns that Jameson himself is behind them, posibbly colluding with Electro, Alistaire Smythe, or another of Spider-Man's mortal foes. Convinced that his worst critic has become a mortal enemy, Spider-Man declares war on Jameson ; a war the publisher is eager to wage. But in their relentless pursuit of victory, they both risk losing everything that matters to them and may both fall victim to the cataclysmic secret  behind the robots.

COMMENT

Okay, this is our first time to read this kind of novel.Honestly, we find this novel has a boring start, but nevermind, most of novel has a boring part.When it almost ends it becomes interesting.We also sometimes understands that Spider-Man has a big responsible and sometimes he has the guilt inside him, because he cannot be at every place to save everyone, but that is the bitter truth.Furthermore, in this novel there are a lot of actions, that is what we like about this novel.

MORAL VALUES
  1. We should not hold grudge against each other.
  2. We should not talk bad about the others based on assumptions.
  3. Do not trust what others say based on assumptions.
