Very Cool!

I loved getting to see the things happening to Peter from Mary Jane’s perspective, especially bc this book starts back before he was living with his Aunt May & Uncle Ben. Also getting a peek into Mary Jane’s life was also really cool bc it helped me kind of reshape and reform her in my mind since I had more insight as to why she does what she does.

This book was great!

The book Mary Jane is about a teenaged girl, named, Mary Jane Watson whose best friend is Peter Parker, a dorkey science geek. This story is about how Mary Jane and Peter have to work on a school science project together, and they try to figure out the formula to a new energy drink called OZ, that a kid in her school, Harry Osborne, dad's created. It also talks about the changes in her family and what she likes to do best ballet. My favorite part of this book is when Mary Jane is trying to steel the formula for OZ. I like this part because it is funny how she has to run back and forth through the different rooms in Harry'shouse. It is also funny when Harry decides to make a move on her, she knees him in the guy's sencitive area. I reccommend this book strongly, because it is full of adventures. It also has good parts and bad parts. I loved this book and I know others will too.

Spider-Man from Mary-Jane's Point-of-View

Fifteen-year-old Mary-Jane Watson - MJ to her friends - lived a life of privilege for her first nine-years, until her alcoholic father walked out on her and her mother, forcing the mother-daughter twosome to leave Park Avenue and move into a dumpy apartment in Queens. The only thing Mary-Jane really has to concentrate on other than their move and her mother's drunk, abusive new boyfriend, is ballet. Unfortunately, she is unable to attend the Manhattan School of Ballet anymore due to the fact that her mother has run out of money. But when MJ meets up with Peter Parker, a friend from fourth grade, she's ecstatic. Peter is still the class nerd, but there's something about him that's incredibly attractive to MJ. When Peter gets bitten by a spider on a class trip, suddenly the geek disappears, and in his place is the most popular guy in school, who just happens to be on the recruit list of every extracurricular activity known to man. Now it's up to MJ and Peter to figure out what's going on with Peter's genes, and why every girl at school is starting to look and sound like a guy. I am a HUGE fan of SPIDER-MAN, and Mary-Jane has always been one of my favorite characters from the movies, cartoons, comics, etc. So I was in utter disbelief when I saw the release of MARY-JANE written by Judith O'Brien, as O'Brien has written books in the past that I adored. Her effort with MARY-JANE was not shoddy. As portrayed in the movies, Mary-Jane is a sweet, kind-hearted teenager, who treats Peter kindly, unlike everyone else. However, instead of an actress - like in the movies - she's a dancer. Girls will relate to this book whether they are a fan of SPIDER-MAN or not, as Mary-Jane deals with weight issues, and anorexia, which many of the teenage girls in today's society deal with as well.

My review

OH my goodness. This was one if the best books i have ever read. I have never been into comic books or anything like that.This book is about Mary Jane and Peter Parker. When Peter is bitten and becomes the school heartthrob, Mary Jane finds herself thinking about him all the time. But she finds herself with a eating disorter she struggles to see herself for the person she is. With her love of ballet and her disorter she finds herself in events that help her grow as a person and grow into a relationship with Peter. But wheni picked up this book i didnt put it down until i was finished! I am really excited to read the second one. And if im right i am hoping that the second book is as good as the first one. And i am also looking foward to the next movie.As a girl i like romance books with a little bit of action. This book brings both of those features and many more good ones. If the series is like the movies, I am excited to c the sequal to this great book.
