Countdown to Danger #2: Shockwave product reviews

Will you survive or will you die? You are swimming through the ocean, trying to escape dangerous mercenaries who have planted a bomb on the mainland. Behind you, getting closer, is the largest shark you've ever seen. An explosion rips out from the shoreline and a massive wave flings you closer to the stunned shark's open mouth. You don't have much time, and you need to get to land. Do you keep swimming or do you climb onto the shark's back to ride to shore? Thirty minutes. Thirty paths. Can you choose the path to survive?

I have to admit I am a sucker for any book that has a shark on the front cover. I have been fascinated with these incredible killing machines since I was a teen and love reading about them. The cover made it seem that a boy would be surfing and would get attacked by a shark but this was not the case. Instead it is a book with so many twists and turns and you are faced with bombs, crocodile, falling to your death from a cliff, tsunami, bad guys and of course my shark among other stories.

I loved this book and have laughed so much. I did not realise it was a 'pick your path' book so gave out a squeal when I first got told to choose my selection. There are thirty different endings and you only survive in twelve of them. The first three times I read it I survived - yay. So then I started making dumb choices just so I could met my doom. I did get rather annoyed as could not find the shark until about my sixth attempt and died so many times with it, only surviving once and that was an exciting story (hint: if you read the book ride the shark).

The next day I read to my children and let them select the choices of living and dying. You can learn a lot from someone from this book and I found out my eldest makes her selections purely because of the page number and not by common sense or thinking about the choice where as my youngest is a born survivor.

Highly entertaining and a very easy read, definitely aimed at younger kids. Just love it and while I still have a couple more ways to live and die, I am enjoying getting my kids to choose as well. They really need to make more books like this! definitely well worth the money and definitely rereadable!

Product reviews for listing 1528: Soldier Sons - 3 - Renegade's Magic -  Written by Robin Hobb

Product image for Soldier Sons - 3 - RenegadeThe people of Getty's town remember the death of their cemetery soldier, Nevare Burve, vividly. Believing him guilty of unspeakable crimes, they recall beating him to death.

But Nevare didn't die that day. A power far more intractable than an angry mob seized control of his life and swept him away.

When he was a boy, the magic of the Speck people - the strange dapple-skinned tribes of the frontier forests - claimed Nevare ... more...
