RE: Choose your own Adventure...

I kept dying in You Are a Shark Don`t really remember any other titles.
Anyone remember the Amy/Hawkeye mysteries. Amy was an artist and Hawkeye was observant. You read the story then looked at the picture to find out what didn`t fit. The answer was written backwards and you had look in the mirror to read it. Unless, like me, you learned to read backwards......I will deny saying that if you tell Smile

I don`t have to like a book to enjoy reading it.

Hello,

Funnily enough, I saw my first choose your own adventure book this morning in the free books email I get. http://www.amazon.co.uk...

I haven't read it, so can't say if the book is any good but I think I might give it a go. I think the Kindle is perfect for choose your own adventure stories, with it being able to have links to different pages.

Also, I have written a few brief CYOA apps for Android mobile phones. They are written with adults in mind and a bit rude in places. Here is a link for anyone who has an android phone and is interested in that sort of thing: https://play.google.com...

Ahh I loved the old Ian Livingstone/Steve Jackson adventure books - although have to admit, I always cheated by keeping my thumb at the original page while I checked to see if my choice ended with horrible agonising death Smile

Would be great to see these things on Kindle, as James said would be perfectly suited to the touchscreen using links etc.

RE: Choose your own Adventure...

I was just reading in the paper about a new idea for films, where the audience can influence what happens according to their emotions as they watch it... so, say, you can change the end of Titanic if you want Leonardo di Caprio to live instead of freeze to death.

But I wonder... do people actually want to be in control of the story like this? Those choose-your-own-adventure books were quite fun, but I enjoyed other books and stories a lot more. The choose-your-own thing is more like playing a game?
