Resumen del Editor

You wake up floating. Not in the air, but horizontally in a coffin-sized chamber filled with blue gelatinous fluid. You do not remember what this is. You do not remember why you are here. You do not remember who you are.

This is how it begins: Select-Your-Destiny™, a storytelling experience that places the listener directly in the action by giving them the power to choose what happens. The narrator describes the circumstances, and once a Destiny Node is reached, the listener chooses what happens next. The narrator narrates, the listener chooses. That is how it has always worked—until now.

In this story, the listener chooses to team up with the narrator, collaborating on what shape the story will take. A story of an unnamed teen who must piece together what’s going on after waking from suspended animation in a vacant bunker deep underground without memory. With each twist and turn, each Destiny Node, the listener and narrator begin to recover what was lost. What comes to light will transform them both.

Meh

Very enjoyable narrator with what was in my opinion a good story that took a turn into being awful.

Semi Spoiler below
Having an extremely weak ending that you excused by saying you’re leaving it up to the reader to figure out is laughable. Stephen king could write a better ending than the disappointment I was met with here.

Predictable

Yes, there were moments when this was predictable. I was less then enthused with the format of making a choice, but was not interacted for the listener. Trying to explain this to someone else about the narrator being a key piece to the story was pretty funny. Was the ending satisfying? Guess that is something each listener will need to decide for themselves.

interesting take on storytelling

oh no I'm fine story. don't want to give away any spoilers. it actually had me talking to the radio for a while.
also there's a surprise ending?
it's about all I can say about that

Not the right choice

The attempt to make a strange and interesting ending, which left the listener forming there own conclusions did not work for me. I can appreciate the concept but in this story it fell short of letting us have what felt like a satisfying end.

excellent!

A very unique form of story telling, I've never read another story like it. It was beautiful, immersive, but also a terrifying very "human" story.

Great book with new ideas.

It started off slow. The book then picked up and blew my mind. Good read.

If u survive being pissed it’s good

A good story. It will really piss u off at first, what the hell was Randy thinking? If you persist, it is worth it

They them lead w/ 2 moms; Narrator breaks 4th wall

struggled to finish. gimmick runs out of steam the first time you guess wrong. story in a story with an unreliable narrator

Very Different Way to Listen

The narration was really good, but I had a difficult time listening to him answer fictional questions. It was a time killer of a read.

Read this

Hey, let me lead out by letting the listener know that this is NOT a choose your own adventure. All you have to do is hit play and enjoy. There is no mechanism in place for you to determine the path of the story. The narrator IS part of the overall story. Hit play, be quiet, and enjoy. Overall, this is not a bad story and the premise is interesting. Hopefully you enjoy it. Reminds me a bit of Fallout.
