A Decade of Death and Decisions

De: Drew Hayes

Narrado por: Matt Godfrey

In October of 2013, Drew Hayes began posting a story to his website. Written over the thirteen days leading up to Halloween, when each chapter ended the next step was chosen by the readers. Sometimes this led to great discoveries and triumphs, other paths led to Dead Ends, though even in those there was much to be gleaned.

For ten years, this tradition occurred, until in the year of 2022, the readers chose a finale.

This is their story: a tale of deaths and decisions that spanned a decade.

Incredibly fun!

Drew has done it again, love this book and it came out just before Halloween! The adventures just kept going and the side story makes you laugh even more.

I love Drew Hayes.

I love a Drew Hayes. I gave this four out five stars because of the serial format. I did not know about or follow the web series which, I am assuming had a much longer/larger story line and eliciting just Halloween stories left out some of the story. I will always recommend very highly Drew Hayes.

Unique and excellent

The first book I have listened to that was written from this perspective. Very fun!

Jim needs his own book

Listen for Jim
Without this character
The rest of the story is good enough. Jim made it great.
I'll say " naughty monkey"

Perfect Halloween Series

If you are looking for a book that you can pick up and listen to around Halloween, I highly recommend this title. The story progresses well with the format while still giving 10 unique Halloween adventures stories. Plus it is a Drew Hayes story, which is enough reason alone!

Even better this way

I wasn’t around for the first few years of the Halloween choose your own death/adventure story as it was written, but it was a highlight of my Octobers for a handful of years. Being able to listen to the story as a whole is fantastic, and I love Jim and the rest of the characters even more than I did the first time around. The choice of narrator for this was 🤌.

Only on Year 2 and I'm loving it

This is the first book I've listened to in the second perspective, and I'm loving it. I like how the polls are represented in the book, and it gives me a second to pause so I can think about what path I would choose.

Drew Hayes rarely fails, and I'm glad I picked this up.

Engaging and imaginative

The story was engagingly madcap, told with Drew Hayes' usual blend of heart and wild imagination. 'Merlin' is a likeable protagonist, with a mystery to solve and an interesting party of companions, their picaresque adventures satisfyingly rounded out, with few loose ends. Given the fun conceit and the decade of recounting, this accomplished wrap-up is itself a feat of narrative deftness. And Matt Godfrey's adept and soulful voice acting completes the package, doing the story justice.

Did not disappoint

I was a little hesitant because of how it was described, but the choices part was not so often as to be redundant or disruptive to the story.
Just buy it then buy every other book Drew has written you won’t be disappointed.

Great story!

I pretty much loved everything about this book. I thought the story was really interesting, the characters felt like friends by the end, and the voice acting was top notch. I definitely recommend!
