"I checked out other interactive fiction ebooks, and this was one of my favorites. Lots of strange stuff happening, some wildly divergent threads, and a healthy dose of WTF keep this ebook interesting even after multiple reads. Will this be the next big trend in ebooks? I sure hope so." -- J.A. Konrath from review on Amazon.com

Not mention our very own opinionated James Reed:

"The Adventures of Whatley Tupper is representative of the boundless creativity, raw energy, and just plain sheer fun and entertainment that independent authors are capable of and deserve recognition for accomplishing. There are things done with this story that is only possible through the new digital revolution in publishing that is the ebook. While it follows the Choose Your Own Adventure style of books from when we were kids, in this case by way of embedded hyperlinks which can be selected on your ereader device, the authors take the reader on a wild, wild ride that’s worth every penny you spend for this title." -- Digital Spotlight Fiction Review 15/09/2010

If you loved those Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid, then perhaps you should check out "The Adventures of Whatley Tupper" from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Wha...2520055&sr=8-1

It's a adult and comedic take on those wonderful books from the 80's. Take control of a middle-aged, Magnum PI obsessed janitor at a university and decide his fate. Does he find the deported love of his life? Does he tame the reclusive murderer living in the campus tunnels? Does he enlist the help of the local Denny's night manager? Does he ever get to meet his idol, Tom Selleck? Choose well, and he can do all of this. Choose poorly, and, well, he'll probably end up dead. But let's be honest here, that's the fun part.

Yes, for Whatley Tupper, something is in the air tonight... and it's not just the carbon monoxide leaking from the furance.

(By the way, I tried to find a way to delete the other thread that I started. I actually only wanted to change the title, but I couldn't find a way to do it. So, I hope no one thinks I'm spamming this board! And if a mod reads this and can easily take out my other thread 'Did you love choose your own adventure books as a kid?' it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!)
