Will you and Indiana Jones locate he Eye of the Fates?
The legends say that whoever possesses the crystal Eye has the power to see and even change the future. In the wreck of an ancient ship, Indiana Jones finds pieces of Perseus' golden shield—which contains clues to the location of the mysterious Eye. Unfortunately, reporters reveal this astonishing discovery—and the race is on! Your father, a museum curator, says that you must accompany Indy on his desperate mission to find the Eye and keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
Before you know it, you're dashing from Mount Olympus to distant Japan, searching for this amazing artifact. Your lives are constantly in jeopardy as you are pursued by ruthless villains eager to exploit the power of the Eye. You must decide which moves to make! You have to choose the directions that will lead to your goal! Every fascinating and dangerous step of the way, it is up to you to Find Your Fate.
The narrative, if it can be called that, is elementary and clunky. The story is just plain silly. And Indiana Jones is barely Indiana Jones. If it wasn't for the occasional mention of his hat and the fact that he's looking for some artifact, one wouldn't have a clue who he was.
But none of that is really important if you're reading it with a little boy you love, and he repeats everything the boy in the story says while acting out as much of the actions as he can without wrecking your office.
When that happens, when you're engaged with the wonder of your son, even the worst book in the world (a title for which this could be a contender) becomes a happy, worthwhile experience.
Kade R. What aspects of the novel seemed far-flung or even ridiculous to you and why?
Creo que para mí, la parte más remota de la novela fue lo rápido que llegaron a cada lugar. En un momento estuvieron en el monte Olimpo y luego en Japón. Por supuesto, solo estaban siguiendo las pistas, pero no parecía bien. Los nazis también me parecieron un poco raros, pero lo entendí una vez que vi el tiempo en que se desarrollaba el libro. Aun así, un enemigo como los nazis parecía descabellado y poco realista. Creo que es justo afirmar que gran parte del libro no es realista, sin embargo, sigue siendo una historia. También es un libro de Indiana Jones, así que esperaba cosas poco realistas. De todos modos, creo que fue un buen libro para mí. Posiblemente los efectos poco realistas que el libro había agregado sorpresa al libro y lo hicieron divertido. Recomendaría este libro a otros, especialmente a personas que son principiantes en español.
Choose your own adventure! At this point in my life, most of the CYOA books I’ve been reading have been Goosebumps, and I always die. I’m talking, without fail, I will die four pages in. Even thinking back to my elementary school days, when my elementary school library had a bunch of the classic CYOA books, I would always die.
I would like to make it known that I did not die. I got the good ending like, right away. I don’t actually know if dying horribly is possible in this one, which is a part of a franchise that I, uh, haven’t watched a single movie of (I know! I know! I haven’t seen Star Wars either! My Harrison Ford knowledge is nonexistent!), but I do know the vague idea of the character.
So it was fun. I enjoyed not dying, and I’m going to enjoy putting this in my classroom, because Choose Your Own Adventure, if the couple Goosebumps ones I have in there is any indication, is always popular.
I read the ones by R.L. Stine when I was a kid, this is not as good as those ones. I'm not sure I was ever able to find all the endings in those, within this, it was so simple, I found all the endings in the first couple of readings. Especially the good ending where we save the world and live happily ever after.
There were some neat turns, and it was a fun story. Not bad, but I'm not a little kid anymore.
Es un libro muy entretenido y bien echo, a demás está escrito de una manera simple y bonita que hace que la lectura sea ligera. Lo recomiendo sí quieres pasar un rato de RELAX o simplemente quieres leer algún simple/ligero.
Before I begin this little review, I'd like to say that I was a little biased about giving this book 4 out of 5 stars. I gave the book such a rating because I am a huge huge Indiana Jones fan, but if I weren't being biased I'd would probably give it 3 out of 5 stars. The book is one of those retro "Find Your Fate" books. I was really happy to find one that included my favorite adventurer Indiana Jones. The story is about Indiana Jones and his search for the fabled eye of the fates and the reader comes along as Indy's sidekick. The way the story works is by having the reader make choices and those choices will either make the adventure successful, or it can mean the end of the reader. The story is a basic adventure.And it can do without Indiana Jones. There's nothing more about this story. It's fun to get all the choices you have and it does make the reader think like Indiana Jones. Since the book is really hard to find I don't really recommend buying it. If you happen to come across the book give it a try. It's a nice pass time.
Hey listen. Eye of the Fates was such an adventure to me as a child, even with the fact that it was short, and my copy was falling apart, I can still remember Indy asking me "what's your plan, kid?". Fond memories.
