Well, I'll put my post in here in case you haven't seen it elsewhere on this forum...

The Adventures of Whatley Tupper: A Choose Your Own...
By Rudolf Kerkhoven & Daniel Pitts

Entangle a myriad cast of characters into labyrinthine sets of stories spanning just about every possible genre and you have "The Adventures of Whatley Tupper," an 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 furnace.

"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

"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

"A "choose-your-own-adventure" for adults, "The Adventures of Whatley Tupper" is a riot. This ever-changing book lets you decide what choices Whatley makes, and that determines where his adventure leads you. Just like the kid version from the 70s-90s, but with decidedly adult themes, this one book provides you with a plethora of potential storylines... The stories ranged from silly to downright ridiculous, but I was thoroughly entertained the entire way through. I could see the author creating an entire set, and re-igniting the choose-your-own-adventure series fad again, this time for adults."

"A very slick and well-done little experiment... 4/5 Rating"
