Publisher's Summary

You wake up floating. Not in the air, but horizontally in a coffin-sized chamber filled with blue gelatinous fluid. You do not remember what this is. You do not remember why you are here. You do not remember who you are.  

This is how it begins: Select-Your-Destiny™, a storytelling experience that places the listener directly in the action by giving them the power to choose what happens. The narrator describes the circumstances, and once a Destiny Node is reached, the listener chooses what happens next. The narrator narrates, the listener chooses. That is how it has always worked—until now.  

In this story, the listener chooses to team up with the narrator, collaborating on what shape the story will take. A story of an unnamed teen who must piece together what’s going on after waking from suspended animation in a vacant bunker deep underground without memory. With each twist and turn, each Destiny Node, the listener and narrator begin to recover what was lost. What comes to light will transform them both.

No

Interesting concept. But the longer it went the more annoying I found it. The last 5 minutes I just wanted it to end, with each word word grating. Navel gazing, meta, done badly. Bleh.

Didn’t work

The reader interaction didn’t work at all . Then the narrator berated for not making a choice . Without the interaction the story line was weak

Very charming narration

This story is enjoyable in large part because of how charming Manny Jacinto's narration is. I often caught myself smiling while listening. The story's "choose your adventure" style is fun and interesting and the mystery in the story is revealed at a good pace. The ending is not the most satisfying but interestingly they acknowledge that in the story.
