There is no doubt that we live in dark times, from climate change threatening to melt the polar bears, to hadron colliders conspiring against us with miniature black holes, to the series finales of both Lost and 24 in the same month- it really seems as though we may be doomed. But, as bleak as things may be, whatever the odds stacked against us, we can stand tall and say that we truly lived in the best of times, when Bizarro authors roamed the earth and wrote books. We can raise our greasy fin ...more
I was never into “Choose your own adventure” books though they were all the rage when I was in junior high. Yes, I read a few. Mostly, however, I preferred my non-linear reading matter to be more linear in how in went about its non-linearality.
Now author Jeff Burk (Shattnerquake) has written one. Since I had not read one in over a decade I decided “Why not?”
First, like all such books it is written in the second person. The conceit is that you, the reader, are the main c ...more

I first found the "choose your own adventure" genre when I was hiding in the library one day as a child. It totally blew my mind and for months I carried them around to show people to get out "The Good Word" (no one cared, if you're wondering) This books takes the scrap metal from my blown childhood brain and individually blows those pieces up.

After rattling the indie book world with 2009's excellent SHATNERQUAKE, Jeff Burk is back and bigger than ever - quite literally! SUPER GIANT MONSTER TIME is bizarre blast from cover to cover. It has a kickass punk-rocker chick, a badass kitty cat, mutant carrots, cannibal pirates, and, of course, a plethora super giant monsters "rampaging the fuck out of your city"!

Okay, I’m not sure how to review a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ book. I admit that. But what you have here is a bizarro action-adventure book with spacemen, giant monsters, and a punk-rock Spock that covers a lot of ground during a giant-monster-attack-slash-alien-invasion. And all of it is written by the guy who brought you the insanely awesome “Shatnerquake,” plus great artwork by bizarro artist Crissy Horscheimer. Honestly, that should be enough for you to get this.
I'm not a big fan of "choose Your own adventure" books but I must admit Super Giant Monster Time is a lot of fun. It is sort of a Half Life on steroids with punk chicks. I died a lot playing Half Life. I died a lot reading this too but at least I died laughing. Jeff Burk may be the king of silly and I mean that with the highest regards.
But all said, if I wanted to die over and over again I would have been a stand-up comedian.

Too gimmicky for my tastes, but well-written and humorous, so I would feel like a heel giving it less than three stars. How do I even keep up with where I am in the story? My bookmark was confused as hell. Since I loved Shatnerquake, though, I will definitely read more Jeff Burk books.
