Secret Of The Ninja (Choose Your Own Adventure)

My son and I love reading these books while he is in bed before he goes to sleep. I read to him, and he gets to pick the next step of the journey. He gets so excited when finding new paths or opening new doors to additional storie lines. With a quick back story, you step write into the action and off on making the story yours. Sometimes our story ends within 5 minutes other times it could take 20 minutes or longer. All of these books are written in a way to quickly grab a child's (or adult's) attention and keep them there. With so many variations, it is like reading a new book every night. These are great gifts to give someone over a long weekend or over a vacation.

Just as good as I remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books, and now we know that our youngest grandson finds them - at least this one - just as thrilling. It didn't hurt that ninjas were involved; the boy loves ninjas!

I haven't read it myself, but I purchased it because my son enjoys Choose Your own Adventure books and ninjas. He said the book was okay, but basically ignores it after one read through. Normally he reads books over and over.

I was waxing nostalgic, one recent afternoon, when these books popped into mind. Ah, the halcyon days... I remembered being particularly fond of this one when I was a young tyke, and so I made a spontaneous purchase in a desperate bid to reclaim my lost childhood. The wait... twas maddening. I crack open the pages. That new book smell. I get screwed by a corpse in an urn 6 pages in. Infinite rage. The End.

This is not quite as interesting as the Choose Your Own Adventure books that I grew up with. My son and I have tried to read it a few times together, but there are some challenging 'Ninja" type words, and not a very interesting story. After a few minutes, we both lose interest and put the book down. I would recommend saving your money and getting a different one in the series to try.

Bought this book for my son as a gift, as I remember these reading these books when I was younger. He has been enjoying the options to choose the adventure. He has already taken several different options to the end of the story.

When I was a little girl we used to read these wide eyed until we reach the ending! Unsatisfied, I'd start all over again and do another story, and another story, until I've exhausted all possibilities. Sometimes, my sister would accuse me that I peek at the endings. Lol. That was 30 years ago. Now I bought it for my 6 year old son hoping he will catch the fervor I had for these books, I never wanted to put these books down!

Giftie loved it! Just like the good old days. A choose your own adventure that makes you feel like you are controlling the contrived silly story! Great for kids.
