Something about a series... I simply had to read them all. Dad used to pick them up at rummage sales, and I'd get a dozen used copies (individually wrapped) at christmas. I still remember packing up my childhood belongings and convincing myself to donate these old books. But somewhere in a box in his basement, I kept this, #1, for the memories. ( )

Te has perdido en una extraña cueva, tenuemente iluminada. Gradualmente, empiezas a distinguir dos túneles. Uno de ellos, el de la derecha, forma una curva hacia abajo. El otro sube en pendiente hacia la izquierda. Piensas que el que desciende puede conducir al pasado y el que sube al futuro. Si tomas el túnel de la izquierda, pasa a la página 20. Si tomas el túnel de la derecha, pasa a la página 61. Si vuelves a salir de la cueva, pasa a la página 21.

There were a lot of disappointing endings in this story. It's not that the endings were bad, but they left too much hanging and didn't feel as decisive as most CYOA books do. Of course, this was the first, so it gets extra points for starting the awesomeness. ( )
