Customer Reviews

Great Blast from th past

I bought this for fun. I used to love these books as a kid and loved being able to purchase and read it again after so many years.

strange and creepy but great! by: kait ; ]

i love this book and it made me feel really creeped out by everything. this is a great book for me since i always have my nose in a story. i srongly recommend it to others because it is super great and the author did put a lot into it. let me just say this is a great book for anyone and everyone.

great use of technology

My 3rd grader enjoys these books occasionally, they're a little young for him (he prefers longer more complex stories like the Eragon trilogy), but he likes them when he's relaxing sometimes. I really just wanted to put out there that reading the kindle version of this book on an iPod touch or iPhone is fabulous, because of the touch-screen capability and hypertext links to the chosen section at each point where you make a decision. I'd also like to point out to the powers that be that the sample is stupid and idiotic. If the sample is ONLY going to include the title page and the "about the author" page, don't even have a sample, because it is just an annoying waste of time!

great book!

my son loves these books! he likes that you can choose how the story ends and then read it again and choose a different ending. nice to have a book that can be read more than once and still be fun.

great innovative idea

This was the first of the Choose Your Own Adventure books that I ever read, and I loved it. That was about fifteen years ago. I am currently trying to hunt all of them down and add them to my collection, because I loved them so much growing up.These books are perfect for a younger reader. They are not straight novels. They are not 300-400 pages long. In fact, some adventures can last about 3 or 4 pages! They are not filled with big words, and they are not boring. In fact, they're aimed at pure action and adventure, yet they're not violent at all. There's little plot and character building, which is something that might turn a younger reader off.Plus, as small as each book is, they contain numerous different stories. It is up to the reader to decide how the story ends. It is Nintendo in book form!In this particular book, you are investigating a mysterious house. Who owns the house? What kind of strange things or people will you encounter?If you are looking for material to encourage a child to read for any reason, these books are perfect!
