This book was… interesting. That’s all I have to say about it. It’s a weird book with weird endings. Here are my reviews on the endings:
Ending #84: Quickest way to get an ending. Ending #18: Are all aliens bad jugglers? Ending #23: Give me a gory ending without giving me a gory ending. Ending #105: Why do the aliens have a ginormous microwave oven? That’s just super random. Also, what does “Your goose is cooked” mean? I don’t want to eat no geese. Ending #60: Those poor celebrities. Getting hit with tennis rackets. Ending #34: Yes, nothing says god bless America like Jimi Hendrix playing The Star-Spangled Banner: Rock Edition. Ending #

My first time reading GYG (or any "twist-a-plot" type book) in something like 27 years. I probably only ever read 1 or 2 of the GYG back in the day.
This book was good, but finishing it completely was a chore. I had to keep noted and reread some pages multiple times. It was fun but also complicated at the same time. I had hoped to collect all 50 GYG but honestly, I don't know that I have the patience to read them all.
Overall this book was an enjoyable experience, but I don't expect to be reading the book again.
In this one, I had to choose between saving my friends and saving myself. I had like 10 pages to get attached to my ‘friends’. Fuck those guys. I’m saving myself.
