Editorial Reviews

Review

Between the lines of each Choose adventure lies some complex science. The choice-and-effect format reflects the treelike structure in game theory to chart possible outcomes based on initial circumstances. Every book contains different but simultaneous outcomes - something that quantum physics posits is the case in the real world, too. --Wired Magazine --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you see this book, get it!, March 20, 1998

This review is from: Terror on the Titanic (Choose Your Own Adventure, No 169) (Paperback)

I'm in 3rd grade, and Terror on the Titanic was the best book I've ever read. I loved the way you could choose want you want to do. My favorite thing about it is that you can read it as many times as you want and choose a different story each time. Once when I read it, I saved the Titanic. I liked how if you are on page 9, you can choose what's going to happen next--it tells you if you choose this option, go to page 17. If you choose another option, go to page 42. I liked how the book says "You are on board the RMS Titanic." When I first got it, I was addicted to reading it! I read the first page and kept reading it while going up the escalator at the store, in the car on the way home, and then for the rest of the night. I was fascinated by how I could imagine it looks to be on the Titanic. So if you see this book, GET IT!
