Miles Morales book
I purchased this book for my son. The book itself is great. It has a hardback cover that will last a long time. My son read this book. After he said it was a good book, I decided to read as well. I felt good about this purchase.

Great for a short read Marvel fans!
great read! Love Miles Morales as a character and it’s nice to read about him more. There’s not too much action which I wasn’t a fan of but the story was nice for a quick read and a laugh or too. There are some plot points that don’t go anywhere but I feel can be brought up in a sequel if needed. Overall, great book

Fantastic read
Things I loved about this book: The Sijos, Jason Reynolds’ ability to add mundane details into his stories and normalize characters, the very present parents, the rich and detailed side characters.Things I’m struggling with: This story, is obviously, about Spiderman. Throughout the story there is a build up to the battle scene, with Miles’ Spidey sense alerting him and the way too evil history teacher. It felt like all of this build up happened and then the battle scene was 10 pages long and then it was over.However, the more I think about this, the more I think that it’s done this way on purpose. Being Spiderman is just one part of Miles. He is also a son, and a friend, and a student, and a teenage boy trying to navigate his crush. This story tells one small period of time in his life. Once he has defeated the villain, he still has real life demons to answer to and problems of racism and discrimination that cannot be as easily defeated as the larger-than-life villain.So while this was unsettling to me when I read it, it forced me ask myself a lot of questions and grapple with why the story was told this way and the answers make the grappling worth it.tl;dr Jason Reynolds is masterful in his story telling. This is exactly the story Donald Glover was talking about years ago. Spiderman is just a normal, smart black kid from Brooklyn.
