3.0
This was such a fun adventure novel. I really loved the play your formate in this book. I am not the biggest gamer in the world. But I did enjoy both versions of the story. I think i prefer the Crypt Quest verison of this story. It was not as easy "to win" your story but it really fast read! I rec. this book for younger kids who don't read often but enjoy video games and this might but a fun read for them. I will def check out more books like this in this series in the future.

Such a cool concept, bringing in the You're the Hero type of book but with a arcade concept. The book contains two different game/story to evolve in, the story were fairly simple but alright. Unfortunately the «gameplay» the way we get through the book is completely failing the reader. First, the choice offer you page number as choice, but when you get to the page in question you can get as much as three or four short paragraph and you don,t know which one is the right one, you have to read a bit to try to identified the right one and it isn't always that clear. It would have been way better to propose a number for each paragraph... Second, too many choice just offer a «oh your action did nothing good, go back and try something else» kind of answer which is bad, frustrating and not fun. This book is copyright as 2018 and it seem like the author/editor learn nothing from the old age of this kind of book, instead of keeping the good aspect and try to renew it, they just seem like they trash it all and start as new. The gameplay is also too simple in my opinion, no dice, no characters building, just action choice that you too often take half blind. It execute the hardest part really well and fail badly on the easiest aspect, I honestly don,t understand how they achieve something like that!!
