Jim Butcher is also the author of the sci fi series "Dresden Files". I haven't read many of his books. He did a fantastic job on this book. I think he really captured the comic book Spiderman's essence in this novel. Without causing any spoilers the dialogue between Peter and the rhino later in the book had me actually laughing. Most of these comic novelizations are ok, some are pretty good. But this one rates up in the excellent category in my opinion.
