If you have any interest in being part of the latest great Jonathan Green adventure, now's your chance by backing up his currently going Kickstarter! (and if you don't know who he is, shame on you!!)
Just follow the link!

I viewed your video on my smart tv. For me your review came across as breathless, but people have told me I'm ponderous and pretentious. I personally would maybe have appreciated some more specifics about where the gamebook worked well or didn't work (e.g. illustrations, the difficulty curve, among other things) which I get is difficult without being spoilery.
Reviews are subjective and I didn't go for Jon Green's Alice book which seems to have been very popular, I think the writing style in that book is good but not such a fan of the gameplay or the book itself (sometimes a writer can have a great intellect but write something people think is mediocre, some Oscar Wilde).
You've given this book a recommendation so I may go ahead wi reading it.
