It’s the return of the “choose your own adventure” books! You remember those, right? This time around, the folks behind The Worst- Case Scenario series REALLY bring the adventure to life. It’s a combination of the probable real-life adventure they chose and the way in which the outcomes were created.

Did you know it takes about TWO MONTHS to actually summit? No lie. The number of times you have to climb to Camp I and then back down etc....no wonder it's called the adventure of a More...

While the illustrations were nice and the plot was decent, there just weren't enough choices in this book, and those it has are obvious. (Excepting the apple pie. That was odd.) The book isn't long enough to justify its own existence.

The "Choose Your Own Adventure" genre lives: this time with better production values and graphics. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this works as well in book format any longer.

The formula stays the same - at different points in the book readers are asked which option they choose (eg, "If you unclip to go with Hans, turn to pg 59" or "If you stay on the fixed rope and skip the pic, turn to pg 137") with a possible 26 different "routes" though the b More...

Not a good read with a seven year old. It scared hime because there are several endings where you don't survive. But I was kept interested.
