Reviews

[Nick Jones · Rating 2 out of 5]

Somehow managing to be more preposterous than the volumes of this series that have giants, vampires, and mummies, this book has you acting as a pest that Indiana Jones continually tries to get rid of while the most amazing coincidences keep allowing you to run along after him. While it's badly conceived and written, I almost want to reward the authors for providing the adolescent point-of-view character with such audacious options as:

If you want to call his bluff and fire your gun, turn to page 51.
If you want to betray Indy, turn to page 71.
If you want to meet Hitler, turn to page 78.

...and best of all...

If you want to die, turn to page 37.
