Demian's Thoughts: |
This book is the author's first and is apparently based partially on his real-life experiences. For some reason I failed to find the book terribly engaging, though it's well-written and has some good moments. Perhaps the problem is simply that this book isn't nearly as outlandish as the last few and feels too restrained in comparison. It might also be that the reader has very little control in the story; often your choices involve who to follow rather than where to lead people, and quite a few major events happen without allowing you any input. |
Good's Thoughts: |
I found this impossible to really get into. |
Errata: | The reissue states "26 possible endings" on the cover, but it has 29 endings just like the original. |
Special Thanks: | Thanks to Ken G. for the Australian cover scans. |
