A fun, well-written adventure book that takes you to places you don't expect. It was great to read in one sitting, and the authors make you want to turn back and see if you can make something else unbelievable happen. It's also clear that they give the reader goals at the beginning that encourages re-readability.
I've always loved the concept of choose-your-own-adventure books, and Armageddon: Pick Your Plot does not disappoint. I've studied a lot of the science behind potential doomsday scenarios, and it's great to see so many of them all rolled up into one volume.
The book is great for a quick read-through - It only takes a few minutes to sit down and go through an apocalypse - but definitely has re-read value due to having so many different endings. The "achievement" style goals of finding similar endings are a nice touch as well.
