Meanwhile

Which Ice Cream flavor would you like? Vanilla or Chocolate. This a simple question that starts off this fun Book.

I don't read many books compared to watching or playing video games. One of the types of books that got me into reading initially was Science Fiction, looking back at Ender's Game and all that Story unfolding. I started buying different books to see what I was interested in. Some worked and some didn't. I didn't throw any of the other books out but I just had to see what I enjoyed reading. Meanwhile by Jason Shiga is one of those books I was happy to have purchased.

A choose-your-own-adventure is a fun style to go through. Very commonly it's done in video games because it's easier to create many stories. I'd like to see it in more TV shows like the Netflix series Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. It's one thing to follow whatever is laid out but to be a part of it and see what outcome you get is very exciting for me.

So, looking at this book, there are thousands of possibilities and clearly, I didn't go through all of them. Going through the story, choosing what to do, and where it navigates you across the many pages, it's very engaging and fun to go through. The layout of the book is simple and easy to follow in how the lines are drawn from the images and directs you to go to a different page at a specific section to see what your story unfolders based on those decisions. It starts off very silly with a simple selection of Vanilla or Chocolate ice cream and then expands into this fun-filled story. 

Will you read this every day? No. However, this is something that you can always pull out once in a while, go through it and enjoy. Then when others come over, it's a fun book to go through with someone to see how their story unfolds.
