Book Description

Publication Date: April 4, 2003

The world of "Whatever You Want" is your oyster. It's modern-day choose-your-own-adventure with a twist - and the fun to be had is much more grown-up ...Navigate social and sexual minefields as Barbarella - alluring, demonstrative and sharp as the lash from a bondage whip; or play the game of life as Barnie - with his irresistible attraction to women and danger. Whoever you want to be, you are in control every step of the way. But where and how you will end up is anyone's guess. Dare you risk it all at an illicit casino or charm your way round a country estate, where things could get up-close-and-very-personal? Will you mix with the stars at a celebrity boat party or set up a politician who indulges in some seriously deviant behaviour? Can you win back your lost love ...or really amuse yourself getting over them? And when you've had all the fun you can possibly have, will you make it to the perfect ending? You can't know, unless you play. There are no rules; just see where your heart takes you ...

This review is from: Whatever You Want (Paperback)

Whatever you want is the type of book you either hate or love. The book is written as a Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) Novel. These novels were very popular in the 80's when adventure games like Dungeon & Dragons were on their peek. This book is different, most CYOA novels are set in a fantasy / SF world where the reader has to make choices until he finds the end of the dungeon and gets out alive. But "Whatever you want" is a real gem, no monsters to fight (with exception of the blue elephants in your head after a night out), no dungeons to escape from (with exception of the bedroom of the ugly blond you ended up with yesterday evening), and no dice to roll. Whatever you want is set in modern day England, where you decide how the story goes. Male and female can read the book, since there is an ingenious way in the start of the book to determine if you are M/F. The plot then continues, where you decide after each paragraph, either to: Kiss the girl .... Drink more ... or ...
The book is not for those with high-moral standards, but on the other hand, if you come on a page that maybe a bit more arousing than your taste would be ... remember you made the choice that made you turn to this page. The story is good; it's fun to read (even if it would not be a CYOA novel). There could be some more roads - alternative plots - in the story, which would make it more interesting to read it the 8th time.
