5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Read, Great Entertainment!, June 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Night Out: An Adventure Where You Decide the Outcome (Paperback)

The concept of this book is a winner--and the 241 possible storylines--make it a hit! Reminiscent of those "choose your own adventure" books of long ago, it is just pure entertainment.

A great feature of this book is that you start with a male and female that room together. Depending on your mood, you can choose to "be" either gender, and have a great time navagating throughout the evening.

It is a great book to take on subways or any other type of commute--giving you a relatively quick fix of entertainment on the road!

5.0 out of 5 stars wildly entertaining, December 27, 2000

"smf03" (new jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Big Night Out: An Adventure Where You Decide the Outcome (Paperback)

A fan of Choose Your Own Adventure books as a girl, I had high hopes for Big Night Out, which fulfilled and exceeded all of my expectations.

The set-up of the story allows you to navigate through either a male or female perspective, totaling 241 different possibilities. While structurally the concept is the same as the Choose Your Own Adventure books, the plot is much different: it takes the child-like sense of adventure with a grown-up context. Instead of searching haunted houses and the such, the narrator must negotiate bars, clubs, parties, and city streets in an attempt to find their desired guy/girl and get laid. Many different complications can arise, including paying attention to your alcohol intake to avoid getting sick or into trouble.

Hysterical twists and turns, as well as a large variety of supporting characters, makes Big Night Out a laugh-out-loud funny book. It will keep you entertained for hours.
