“Curses! Foiled again.
I thought I was doing well this time. See, I have to give it to Escape. In Escape, you start off with a clear objective. You’re an escaped POW(?) with a small group of others trying to, well, Escape. Your destination is Denver. This is WAY better than that stupid space one I read, where it’s like, “Which planet do you want to go to, which time period, what pants should you wear?”
Nobody cares about that crap. Plus, when the decisions are totally arbitrary, can I be responsible for the consequences? When it’s push a yellow button or a blue button, and when I pick wrong, is that my fault?
Anyway, Escape was one of the better titles so far. At least there was a point A and a point B, even if the stuff in between was pretty hard to figure.
It also had a great ending that really sums up all of these books: “Your last thought is, ‘Why can’t the world be peaceful?'””
