It's the middle book of a trilogy by Diane Duane which Simon and Schuster decided to turn into an abridged Dramatic audiobook, and might as well be a radio drama.Having not read the underlying book, I can't comment authoritatively on the plot, but the book's plot doesn't sound bad. You've got Spider-man, Venom, and the Lizard in one story along with a gang of dangerous terrorists and a bold space exploration plan, there's bits of drama around Kirk Connors, and a hint at something around Peter and Mary Jane. The sound design is also decent with some pretty solid effects.What kills the story are two things. First, this was recorded for CD and in order to get onto one CD, they have compress everything down to 80 minutes and this was a 300 page book. The production is full of exposition and it felt like it needed room to breathe. Even if that problem had been address, the production had another problem. There was so many listless performances. Spider-man didn't sound like Spider-man, the boy who played Kurt Connors' son was completely wooden, and the growling of the Lizard was laughable.While it had been a long time since the Golden Age of Radio, Simon and Schuster could (and should) have done better with just a little more effort. At Random House, they did audio dramatizations of Louie L'Amour stories and those are brilliant. While Sci-fi can have some different challenges than Westerns, there's no way there should be this much disparity between products between two very large publishers.This is a curiosity and the main thing it does do is make me curious about the rest of the series and reading the book. The dramatized version, despite some good moments, was very inepty handled. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Your Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman *by E***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2002* Diane Duane does an excellent job of capturing the characters of Spiderman and Mary Jane in this book. I like how she combined Peter's adventures as Spiderman with events from his real life with Mary Jane. This is what has always made Spiderman one of the most enduring characters in comics. He seems like a real person with real problems and not just some guy who fights bad guys all the time. I didn't really like how the Lizard was handled in this book, but the interaction with his wife and kid did add to the story. This book should appeal to any new Spiderman fans brought in by the movie, or to longtime comic readers like myself. --- ## 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.tn/products/98259111-spider-man-the-lizard-sanction-mass-market-paperback-august-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/98259111-spider-man-the-lizard-sanction-mass-market-paperback-august-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-20*
