It's probably the best 'You are a Monster' style book since Kafka's METAMORPHOSIS. It doesn't feel very good, does it? I guess that's the point of this book. Everybody running from you and screaming at you and laughing at your expense. See how you like being the monster for a change. In a month devoted to enjoying monster movies, I thought I'd turn the tables a little bit. You're the star of the story- you make the decisions- you are personally responsible for your successes, failures, and gory, gory deaths!Īnyway, this title is not one of my absolute favorite Choose Your Own Adventure titles, but it still felt appropriate. It's called Choose Your Own Adventure- maybe you've heard of it already. It's YOUR story, and you'd better hang on for dear life, cause things are liable to get real freaky, real fast. Well, I'll tell you– instead of just watching or reading or listening to the work of art, you ARE the work of art. They like to call it "breaking the fourth wall." Well, I got a little something here that breaks the- are you ready for this?.– breaks the fifth wall. A lot of works of art think that they're special merely because they address the audience directly.
