A really neat idea and very well done - this graphic novel is structured as a "choose your own adventure" graphic novel. The story starts with boy buying ice cream - chocolate or vanilla? Depending on your answer you follow a different storyline until it is time to make the next choice. The subtitle reads that there are 3856 story possibilities, so I probably didn't do this book justice in the enjoyable hour I spent reading it.

I thought the format of this book was SO COOL - AMAZING - INTRICATE - THOUGHTFUL (more interesting) than the content. I would have given 4 stars, but I didn't have the time (or patience) to read through all of the different situations and that frustrated me. And I don't like reading about a machine called the Killitron (which kills people...)

I did something silly and jumped right into the story, failing right away by wanting vanilla ice cream and then finally getting on sort of the right track only to be completely stumped by the fact that I had gotten stuck at a place where I apparently needed to enter a code, and where the heck was I supposed to find this code?

A visual take on the Choose Your Own Adventure genre. A bit gimmicky but quite neat. The panels that are impossible to reach without cheating are a nice touch.

If you liked (or still like) Choose Your Own Adventure books, you have to check this one out. It's a choose your own adventure in graphic novel form, and I couldn't put it down until I had made it through to every ending.
It starts off with a simple choice, vanilla or chocolate ice cream but then branches off into wild directions when you meet a scientist with a time machine, a psychic helmet, and a machine that ends all life on the planet. Each choice branches you off onto a different path, sometimes throwing you into situations you can't escape, and often looping you through the same time periods over and over.
The drawings are fairly simplistic, and the paradoxes can be a bit hard to swallow, but the overall effect is great and I hope the author has at least one more of these up his sleeve (and also, how can you ever dislike a book featuring a giant squid?)

The book starts with a simple question. "Vanilla or chocolate" ice cream?

The possibilities of this book are insane. Sometimes Id get glances of other options and would go out of my way to figure out how to get to them.
I was upset at what happened when you chose vanilla though.

I cannot figure this book out. I think the concept is so fun and unique, but it just makes absolutely no sense to me.
