This is an awesome book! Especially older teens and adults. It's got over 150 different endings, some funny, some more serious. It's a great book that can teach you the consequences of choices you make. And unlike real life, you can always go back and change your decision!

Very interesting. A fun way to while away some hours. On the first round, I made the choices as close to the choices I made in my youth. And there results didn't end up too far how my life did turn out. It was fun to see the options that I missed.

I requested this book because I remember reading this type of 'choose your own ending' books when I was younger and loving them. I really wasn't a fan of this one though....it seemed like every ending had her dying a horrific death. I can imagine the author wanted to tie up loose ends, but does it have to be so depressing...I would be okay with not knowing how she died. It was fun being able to pick SO many different paths though.

This book was so interesting to me. Reminded me of the pick your own adventure books that I read when I was a kid-except a LOT MORE HARSH AND VERY MUCH MORE ADULT. But I couldn't stop reading it. Its a lot of fun to see where life takes you. Try it.

It was a fun read but I was a little disappointed. It is a neat concept but it seems like the main character is completely screwed up from the beginning and every choice she makes winds up bad in some way or another. I was craving some normal things to happen and her to have a happy ending in more then just a couple of the 150 endings. I found myself wondering what won't she do for sex and how many times are we going to read about meth use gone wrong? Don't get me wrong it is fun but only in small doses.

The format of the book lets you "try on" different decisions which is great for those of us that second-guess what we do. While I was not really a fan of the format once I started reading, it is something a would recommend for a few minutes of fun.

I shared the experience of another reviewer that felt too many of the endings were awful. I started the book hoping for some wild adventures of youth that would remind me of things that happened in my life. I couldn't relate to any of it because of the rampant sex, drugs and tragedy in every adventure I read. After about 5 or 6 stories ending in some horrible death I lost interest. I will say choosing this one for a reading group was fun. We compared our adventures and saw how different choices took us down different paths within the same story.

I too remember and used to love choose-your-own-adventure books when I was young, and I was really disappointed that this didn't capture the same youthful, adventurous spirit. It made me uncomfortable to "be" a character that was constantly abusing drugs or having a lot of grimy one-night-stands. You get very few happy endings here, and those usually come at the end of some awful hardship. It's hard to say who this would appeal to, since there isn't enough darkness, irony, or humor to make this a parody, but there isn't enough realism to make any of the stories resonate with you in any kind of meaningful way. It's an ambitious work, but it's no fun at all. If you're okay with storylines that involve you being raped, being a meth addict, or being brutally murdered, then this may work for you, but I have a feeling most who seek this title out aren't looking for that kind of thing.

Not so much with this book... Several of her others are MUCH better.
