And while the aim of the book is to generate excitement for the game, I think it stands on its own fairly well too.One thing to note is that while the book does fill you in on a lot of the basics of the characters, if you had 0 knowledge of Spider-Man lore before reading, you might be a bit lost.This book begins 8 years into Spider-Man's adventures. He's finished high school and college, and now works while being Spider-Man. It very briefly touches on the origins, but thankfully we don't have to go through Uncle Ben dying for the umpteenth time. We see some appearances from various villains, but the main villain is Wilson Fisk, and to a lesser extent a Spider-Man copy cat. That's all I'll say there, because I don't want to give too much away.One thing that I really liked about the book is the fact that it's not completely from Spider-Man's point of view. There are quite a few chapters dedicated to Fisk and the copycat, and being able to see things from their heads really fleshed them out as characters. Don't get me wrong, they're still villains through and through. But this aspect at least helps you understand and empathize with them ever so slightly instead of "hey I'm a villain doing villainy things because I'm the villain".As I mentioned before, the obvious intent of this book is to generate hype for the upcoming game, which I feel it does very well. It gives us a great introduction to characters like Peter, MJ and Fisk and sets up a lot of exciting things.That being said, I do feel that it being a prequel to the game does also hurt it a little bit. Allegedly the game picks up right where the novel ends, and I think it ends in a very blatant "you'll have to buy the game to see what happens next!" type of way. There's a "plot" between some characters that is hinted at a few times but is never resolved, so you know that it will come up in the game.Also, while we get some great "screen time" for characters like Peter and Fisk, there are some characters that only get a page or two in the whole book and you wonder why they're even mentioned at all. This includes characters like Aunt May, or Harry Osborn. I feel that they're mentioned because they'll have a part to play in the game, but in the novel they serve almost no purpose.Is the book perfect? No. Is the book there to sell copies of the game? As mentioned plenty of times, yes. But despite its issues, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it, especially only at ~$6. While it's an obvious set up, it does have a satisfying enough story on its own and if you're any sort of Spider-Man I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book! (Doesn’t spoil the game) *by F***G on Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2018* This book was a blast to read. The story is simple and I really enjoyed this version of the Spider-Man universe. It is much more mature and definitely captures the essence of Peter Parker. I couldn’t put the book down due to its fast paced writing. The author did a phenomenal job making the story concise and I loved the parts between Peter Parker and Mary Jane. There was a great balance between Peter and Spider-Man. For any Spider-Man fan I highly recommend this book! I can’t wait to play the game which will be released in two weeks! I’m glad that this is a stand-alone story so many people won’t have to worry about getting spoiled prior to the video game. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great prequel to for the video game, highly recommended reading before playing the game *by T***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018* If you are hyped for the PS4 video game, but are not familiar with a Spider-man universe, this book is a great choice. You will get familiar to the key characters of the game and get their backstory. The game itself starts at the point this books last chapter ends. The book is a fast paced easy read. You can finish it easily within one or two sittings. Though it is not mandatory to read this book before you start playing the game, you would be doing yourself a disservice by skipping the story of the book. Probably it's not as bad like if you skip Witcher's books before playing games though. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/99325045-marvels-spider-man-hostile-takeover-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/99325045-marvels-spider-man-hostile-takeover-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
