| barryattles's Thoughts: Click here for more reviews by barryattles | Rating: 2
The erratic R. A. Montgomery's very first entry in the series takes you deep underwater, where you discover some lost city. The story itself's pretty odd, with true random events as random as those generated by an fx-50 Casio Calculator. What's more, you easily get annihilated for no reason, and this is definitely not the best of R. A.'s works. | |||||||||||
| Demian's Thoughts: Click here for more reviews by Demian | Although the writing is a little weak, this is a good gamebook. The mission to find Atlantis gives the reader a goal and sense of purpose, which generally makes these things a lot more fun. | |||||||||||
| kleme's Thoughts: Click here for more reviews by kleme | This book annoys me, since who or what the Atlanteans are changes depending on what plot you follow. | |||||||||||
| Stockton's Thoughts: Click here for more reviews by Stockton | This book has lots of R. A's trademark metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, but at least it isn't too off-the-wall bizarre like some of his other books. Journey is a weak book to be sure, but thankfully it's not a spectacularly bad one. It has enough redeeming features to make it readable as some of the adventures are actually interesting, but I still can't really recommend it. | |||||||||||
| Waluigi Freak 99's Thoughts: Click here for more reviews by Waluigi Freak 99 | This book was pretty good. The writing could be better in some places, however, the adventures are usually pretty interesting. Something about this book, I liked, although I can't place my finger on it. | |||||||||||
