No.

My boys have been re-watching all of the Spider Man movies over the last week and it's not even the best Tom Holland Spider Man movie. I still think that's Homecoming.

I am more upset that we have had four Spider Man movies that cover a timespan of high school + 4 more years and yet we still have not been introduced to the Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn, Otto Octavius, or Gwen Stacy.

On top of that we spent so much time connecting the tissues of Peter, Tony Stark, Happy Hogan, etc but completely ignored Wilson Fisk and only had a cameo from Murdock.

I may have convinced myself that I'm more frustrated with these films than I am satisfied by them.

I'm only about 5 chapters into Book 5 and feel like I will go back to Book 4 at some point and listen again.

I felt the same. It's a small scale Spider Man movie making it more like Homecoming than the other two. It was a good movie, slow at times, but overall I enjoyed it.

I'm more curious about whether the artifact exists in every bubble or if it was only specific to 543. If it was only specific to their bubble then I'm starting to put the pieces together, especially with the "help" received at the end of the book.

The epilogue was also quite telling and the seeds planted earlier are starting to make more sense.

1. Total Recall
2. True Lies
3. Kindergarten Cop
4. Commando
5. Twins
6. Running Man

I imagine he records each character's lines at one time and then it is pieced together in editing.

I just can't see someone switching between that many voices for 18 hours.

We may be in the minority here but our 11 year old has one.

He has a couple games that have a 1 hour timer on them. He has no Internet Browser app, no YouTube, and no social media. He can ask Siri questions, but no open internet option. Everything is essentially locked until 8am and then locks again at 8pm (unless he's out with friends).

He can always request things but once he's out of time or in the dead period at home, it's useless. It's come in handy when we goes to a friends house. He can always communicate with us and we tell the parents ahead of time so they know.

I could see you feeling that way for the first quarter of the second book, but not sure I can see how the circus plot is slow exactly. I can kinda see what you mean with the side quest feel, but none of the rest of the books have them rolling around exploring cities and picking up random quests if that's part of your problem.

But what you are thinking of being side quests actually tie in pretty huge to the end of that book (which ends with a bang) and the circus plot ties in big with a future book.

Books 5-8 are better than 1 by a fair bit though, and there is no real side quest feel to anything. I'd say 3 and 4 are better in that regard too, as they have straight forward goals for the levels in those books.

All good to hear. I plan to continue listening either way because I am hooked and will need to finish them. Book 2 has just felt a little different from the banger of Book 1. I'm excited to keep going though.

Finished Book 1 (Audiobook) last week and am about 3/4 of the way through Book 2.

Do the remaining books have the same slower pace as Book 2? Granted, there is a lot going on with the 3rd floor, but I feel like it is dragging a little.

Still enjoying it and the narration is the best part.
