River of No Return, the best book of all time is my favorite book. This book is interesting because it's adventurous and intense. Another reason I enjoy this book is because it gives you a lot of choices.

I think that The River of No Return is my favorite book because it has a lot of choises. I like deciding which way to go. This book has a lot of adventure in it. I have read the book 4 times and each time it has a different outcome.

I read this book to my fourth grade class and they loved it! It is very exciting and engaging. They were glued to the edge of their seats and always complained when I stopped reading for the day.

I used to love these books as a kid, and even though invariably thought that those by Edward Packard were the best. This was my third favorite book, behind two other Edward Packard CYOA books Hyperspace and Survival At Sea. This book is only book in the series that also features a unique "special ending" that cannot be encountered through normal decision making. Can you stumble upon paradise?? Get the book to find out!

Recommended for anybody who enjoys the Choose Your Own Adventure genre, and especially for kids who enjoy science fiction.

The greatest book ever.

As a 17-year-old, I still love this book everytime we bring it out for Christmas. The pictures are magnifisent and it is a great story. It's one of those books for all ages.

My boys love this book. We read it not only at Christmas time but all year through. It teaches the importance of selflessness. If available try to get the audio cassette that goes along with it. It is wonderfully illustrated. Children of all ages will relive the magic of Christmas.

Read only if you know terms of skateboarding. If you don't know the terms, you wont understand the book. It is still enjoyable if you don't though.

Look this book is awesome. It tells you how to be a champion and it even has coaches to teach how to become a champion . And it also has coaches for the people who don`t want to be a champion but just want to skateboard for fun too.

What happens next? You decide. What a great way to hook a reluctant reader! You live the life of a Robinson Crusoe in this suspenseful adventure (written in second person) as you encounter pirates, treasure, islanders, challenging terrain and animals. Danger and excitement pull you in by asking you to make a decision at the end of almost every page and sending you to the page where that story direction continues. Short segments and hopping back and forth in the book keep short attention spans happy. Whether you read Sugarcane Island to your child or he or she reads it alone, the chance to shape the story is empowering and magnetic. And how nice to be with your child as he or she learns to weigh risks and discover the outcomes of decisions, in this safe fictional environment.

Shipwrecked on a small island, the reader is given various unique and fun choices throughout the story. Each choice changes the direction and outcome of the adventure! Many potential adventures and nice illustrations make this book very fun for young people ages 9-14. The original Sugarcane Island, copyright 1976 was one I could not put down as a child.

I would not like it if a comet crashed into the Pacific Ocean or anywhere else, I would be freaked out. This is probably the only book I've read that has this kind of danger. I would like to fire a missle to change it's course.

Dear Readers, You have to love this series-Choose Your Own Adventure-Edward Packard was a genius for coming up with this series! The Bantam Books (not Skylark) are the best. Check out Space Hawks (1-6), The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1-8), and the regular titles in this great series (1-184 I think); I have about 110 already! Too bad they are hard-to-find now! E-mail to profprimbud@hotmail.com thanx!

I like this book because they encounter new life and find the peaceful Balayns. But the Cretians are bad. I can't belive they like polluted air!

I remember this gamebook series from childhood, though I was never particularly good at them. "The Cave of Time" starts out with the reader finding a cave and deciding whether or not to enter it. From there, the reader travels back in time to the Ice Age, colonial America, the Dark Ages--even traveling ahead in time. There is no one ending or quest to this book, so you're not in a mad dash to win. In fact, there is no "winning" in here, just 40 possible endings to certain situations--some good, some fatal. Younger readers who like gamebooks will probably like this book/series, though there's not a lot of action.

Its not really about anything you get to be the character in the book and you half to make the decions.It takes place in a cave in a castle a ranch and it was a long time ago alot of years ago .my favorite part of the book was when these two guards draged me out of the chamber and put two spears at my back and just about killed me.I dont no what kind of people would like this book but i do recomend it because its a short, easy, and fun book to read .

I've read this book many times and think it's one of the best Choose Your Own Adventure Books ever written.

This is without a doubt my favorite book of the CYOA series. As an 11-year-old, the storyline was so bizarre and difficult to wrap my head around that it gave my brain a major workout. I would read this book over and over, and develop lots of new fantasies based on the scenarios from the book. On the other hand, this book is so esoteric that it might put some people off on the series, so I can't recommend it for everyone. You should get this book if you enjoy CYOA in general and have an open mind for exposing your mind to new and strange concepts. If you're getting this for a child, I'd wait until they are at least 8 or 9 years old, so that they at least have a foundation of learning they can use to understand the book.

I'm going to read the book once more now, and try again to figure out what the experience of being in the sixth dimension might be like...

"Hyperspace" is my favorite of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books I have read, and it definitely deserves to be brought back into print. Its highly self-referential storyline results in such delights as characters who know they're characters in a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story, and what surely must be the most surprising cameo in the series--an appearance by a certain person whose last name is that of an old model of car... This book is a true classic of the heyday of plot-your-own stories.

Edward Packard has just a little bit too much fun with Hyperspace, a minor classic. It's amazing that a "kiddie" book, albeit one soaked in self-referential post-modernism, remains an all-time favorite of mine.
