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!

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.

This book is just plain cute! It's a great read if you only have a little time! Each time you read it you get a beginning, a middel, and an end! And it is differnt every time! This is a cute book to give to a friend!

It was fun reading this book, I got to choose my own adventure, unfortunately, some of the choices I made were the wrong ones. This is the kind of book you can read without taking it seriously, it is not a story and you can't read it from beginning to end. It is different from everything I've read before. Buy this book and read it while you in a plain or bus, the time will fly because you'll be too caught up on the funny situations and choices you'll have to make!

I was intially excited by the idea of this book being like the choose you own adventure books that I used to read as a child. Well, it was similar, but shorter and less interesting. As soon as I got going in the story, my adventure ended. What a waste of my time and money. Great idea, terrible execution!

The idea for this book was very attracting but it left me hanging (in a bad way). I started reading at 10pm and was reading "the end" by 10:05pm. I tried again making different choices and 5 minutes later I was back with the same guy and the same ending. I did get lucky both times, but I couldnt help thinking, how can it be over when it just started? This book is like a bad date, some good foreplay, but then wham, bam, thankyou ma'am.

Great for the single party gal who needs a light, short read. And you can read it over and over for a different laugh every time.

What a blast! Just like the Choose Your Own Adventure books I read when I was a kid, this book zips along through the streets of NY like a bat out of hell. The object is to find your love interest and get laid and after several readings, I still haven't achieved my objective. But that is what makes this book so much fun. You can read it and read it and it never gets old. Highly recommended!

When I first heard of this book, I knew I had to have it. The choose your own adventure books were some of my childhood favorites! And, to have one for adults! You can play it safe, or lose yourself in a world you only have the nerve to live in fantasy. And, it's never the same story twice!

You know, when I saw this book, I knew I had to have it. After all, I very fondly remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books from my teen years. This book ain't it. The authors get way too mired in stereotypes of the cool, East Village wanna-be player and instead wind up with vapid characters in contrived situations with improbable endings.
