Suggested age rating: 12+ based on constant action and fighting sequences.

Review: Having only picked up this book based on being a Stan Lee fan I was overwhelmingly surprised at how amazing the read was. The novel was a quick read honestly because I couldn't put it down. The characters were all a unique blend and very relatable, not far-fetched as most books tend to make them. There was constant action, but tastefully done so the pacing wasn't affected and the storyline was very fresh and original. To top it all off there were also some illustrations thrown here and there to add to the comic book vibe and give the reader a good sense of what the characters and settings looked like. Overall an excellent book that I would highly recommend for young boys and girls into comic books and superheroes.
