review 1: This read like a bleary dream, that worked when you can devote yourself to the story completely. To stop reading for even a few hours was like realizing you were dreaming, which made getting back into it that much harder. I liked the heat of the romance, the way in which the characters willingly took on new identities in a way that still felt authentic and real, and the reality that was built around Peter's dreams, both those he had at night and those that connected him to the Spider-man storylines. I still had trouble understanding why Peter needed the gun in the first place. The pacing of the ending still has me flummoxed - just what will happen to these two now that what has happened has happened?
review 2: A noir thriller of sorts, set against a Midwestern ... morebackdrop involving a teenage girl and twenty-something man who take on faux identities as the ill-fated Marvel couple of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. The two become entangled in each other's lives after staging a robbery and kidnapping in their home state of Iowa, with Gwen as the kidnapped minor, and venturing to Chicago to save the life of a strange man Peter has dreamt commits suicide. The pair make a new life in Chicago and the pieces of this odd mystery begin to fall into place. An interesting story that I found myself unable to put down because the reader truly has no idea where this story will go next. The ending was satisfying and I particularly liked Bruni's tactic of telling this story from varying character perspectives. less
