Not as many choices as expected but then, it's not a game book! I read all the scenarios but liked the one I did first and thus chose the best.

May 18, 2016I've re-discovered a problem I had as a kid with 'choose the plot' stories - I just can't follow instructions and turn past whole chapters without wondering what writing I'm missing! (Though some might observe that I simply can't follow instructions at all..!) As others have mentioned, the story might have been better suited to its original online format which, sadly, passed me by at the time.

This may have worked on the internet, but as a book it felt artificial and stilted.

Like the idea, although thr plot was hard to follow/ got muddled at times. Didn't really connect to any of the characters and some parts didn't make sense at all.
