R. A. Montgomery

Journey Under the Sea

JOURNEY UNDER THE SEA (CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE-2, ILLUSTRATED BY PAUL GRANGER)

Patrick Book

You can tell this is an early CYOA; the storytelling is a bit abrupt and perfunctory and there are way too many endings (42?!?). But it’s wildly imaginative, going a ton of different ways, and it has the best illustrations I’ve seen in one yet.

It was pretty generic and the writing was subpar, but I had fun with this one. Judging from the title, you'd think this would be a pretty straightforward adventure. However, Montgomery loves his existential psychadelic mumbo jumbo, and there's a fair amount of it here. Considering this was the second book in the series, and the first one by Montgomery, it's only a shadow of what was to come. It's pretty good, but not very memorable. I'd still check it out.
