choose your own adventure

i think i found the books boring because you could go back and see what else might happen, instead of fantasizing over a potential gripping/fireworks/happily ever after ending. decisions and paths you get to choose as an adult dont have the 'flip to the end of the story for a peek at the outcome/repurcussions' feature. it's hard not to freeze at the moment of indecision, even when you've go inflatable arm bands on, the pool is only 1 metre deep, and your dad is waiting to catch you.
