Not the best fighting adventure book
I love these kinds of fighting adventure books, so Im not a hater, but this book had some problems. I enjoyed the first half of the book a lot, but then about half way through the book changed, it went form a choose your path type of book to " Choose our path or die." I compare these types of books to the fantastic Lone Wolf books from the 80s, where there were like six or more different ways to get the the end safely, this one, only one! Yes, try to turn left instead of right? Dead, try to avoid combat because your health is low? Dead. As another reviewer stated, it is wayyyyy to linear for my tastes. There is only one path to successfully finish the book and it becomes a matter of simple trial and error to see which direction to go. Then to top it all off, if steadily bleeds stamina points from you and then force feeds you into a battle with 20 zombies with a measly pistol or youre automatically dead if you attempt to hide or to flee. Another thing that bugged me, I finished it on hardcore, and even had the two most powerful weapons in the game, but at the very end, when its been non-stop fighting and your health is low, guess what? You lose both of them automatically LOL! I barely squeaked by the end boss, but I wasnt happy or satisfied, just glad it was over. I like my gamebooks to be challenging, but this one was pure frustration during the second half of the book.
I love the types of fighting adventure books, but this one had some really bad weaknesses that just ruined it for me. The story was pretty good and it still deserves 3 stars, but definitely not my favorite book. Just my .02.
