Creating your own adventure is awesome!

House of Danger was freakin awesome! It has been way too long that I read a book with pictures. There is something about reading an easy novel with pictures that really takes me down memory. But I digress. What I found to be truly unique and rather obvious about House of Danger, was that you and you alone are the creator of the story. Granted, way off somewhere, there lives a writer who came up with all of those wild posssibilities. But ultimately it is you who holds the power to make the final chices. It really really creates a weird parallel/analogy between literature and predestination. Like most novels for many life is believed to have a predestined course. You go through your daily life without having much interaction in what occurs. The only thing that you choice is how to perceive it. Create your own adventure novels however shatter that theory of predestination and replaces it with active interaction with the space you inhabit. You are the master of your world. You make all the decisions to lead you down the path of your choice. Overall, I found that the concept of a create your own story to be quite entertaining and interesting. It breaks up the monotony of reading in its traditional sense by making the experience more relatable and active for the reader. It allows the audience to break free of the writers plot based strangle hold and allows a freedom of choice.
