secretskeeper's review against another edition

I loved this book! It was my first from Schannep as well as my first CYOA. I wasn't disappointed. To those who pick up this book, you wont be either.
Will you stay and have a drink even though you know its taboo? Or will you walk away? Will you jump overboard to help save a pirate? Will you die at someone else's' hands? The choice is yours. Which path will you take to decide your fate?
Schannep does an excellent job keeping the pace and the storyline regardless of which path I took. There are so many options that I can read the same book 2-3 times and come out with a completely different story.
Read it. You wont be disappointed.

Pretty typical choose your own adventure stuff--mediocre writing and sometimes odd choices--but at least it seems to have more complex storylines than the ones I read as a kid.
I only followed one storyline, so I can't say for sure about content, but as brothels were mentioned among the choices I'd say this is probably not safe for younger readers.
