| LC Cataloging in Publication Summary: | While exploring the seas for the lost continent of Atlantis, you are separated from your diving vessel. By choosing specific pages, you determine the outcome. |
| User Summary: | You are an undersea explorer in search of Atlantis. |
| auximenes's Thoughts: |
You are an underwater explorer seeking the lost civilization of Atlantis. There are lots of interesting events and places to explore, but the plot is not very focused, and it's all a bit silly. 2 out 5 stars |
| barryattles's Thoughts: |
Rating: 2 The erratic R. A. Montgomery's very first entry in the series takes you deep underwater, where you discover some lost city. The story itself's pretty odd, with true random events as random as those generated by an fx-50 Casio Calculator. What's more, you easily get annihilated for no reason, and this is definitely not the best of R. A.'s works. |
| Demian's Thoughts: |
Although the writing is a little weak, this is a good gamebook. The mission to find Atlantis gives the reader a goal and sense of purpose, which generally makes these things a lot more fun. |
| Good's Thoughts: |
Wow! I love travelling undersea! That's what I thought till I read it. If Montgomery didn't limit the pages, and put more undersea travel in instead, it'd be true to its name, "Journey Under the Sea!" I thought you'd explore under water, meet sea creatures--the great stuff! But... it don't work that way! But I still LOVE the randomness as you hope to find Atlantis. This is classic, original, and everything a Choose Your Own Adventure® should be. The title should be "Search for Atlantis," instead. 10/10 |
| kleme's Thoughts: |
This book annoys me, since who or what the Atlanteans are changes depending on what plot you follow. |
| nev's Thoughts: |
This is very patchy. At first I thought it was quite decent - the choices and outcomes made sense for the first bunch of options I chose. But as I further explored every possible path it became apparent that a lot of it is totally inconsistent. In a book like this you expect there to be an underlying setting and your choices are about your approach to that setting. In this book, the people you encounter often seem to be totally different - in one path a kingdom, in another the same people are a space-faring race, in another it's a secret lab. Maybe that's a valid approach but it takes away from the player's agency - it's just random stuff happening. |
| Stockton's Thoughts: |
This book has lots of R. A's trademark metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, but at least it isn't too off-the-wall bizarre like some of his other books. Journey is a weak book to be sure, but thankfully it's not a spectacularly bad one. It has enough redeeming features to make it readable as some of the adventures are actually interesting, but I still can't really recommend it. |
| Waluigi Freak 99's Thoughts: |
This book was pretty good. The writing could be better in some places, however, the adventures are usually pretty interesting. Something about this book, I liked, although I can't place my finger on it. |
