When I was little, I use to LOVE choose your own adventure books. LOVE. So I was really excited to read this!
I will say, if you choose to read it, the physical book would be easiest, but if you have a separate notebook, the kindle version works fine. Don’t try, like I did, to use the notes in your kindle. It’s not impossible, but it’s not easy.
The story was pretty simple. I would imagine the entire concept of writing a book like this is complex and you want people to be able to figure it out, so I assume that’s why. I did think it was written clearly. I was never confused. It was medium-fast paced. There wasn’t much fluff, which I appreciated because too much story and detail other than clues would have probably made it hard to solve.
I think that’s what needs to be kept in mind…you’re not reading a novel or some deep thriller. You’re reading a choose your own adventure book for adults and I think that considering that it was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot!
