Hi
I just discovered this interesting documentary on You Tube, a 20 minute history of Choose Your Own Adventure books. They were first published in the 1970s, and are still going.
The reader is the central character, and is constantly given a choice of what to do next, so the adventure changes as the reader progresses through the book. Each time you read, and make different choices, the adventure changes.
I did read a few books of this type, but I had no idea there were so many. Some were set in various existing film, TV, book, and comic, or game worlds.
