Product Description

You're The Star! 40 Thrilling  Endings!

Will You Become Trapped  In Time ?

You  are hiking in Snake Canyon when you find yourself  lost in the strange, dimly lit Cave of Time.  Gradually you can make out two passageways. One curves  downward to the right; the other leads upward to  the left. It occurs to you that the one leading  down may go to the past and the one leading up may  go to the future. Which way will you  choose?

If you take the left branch, turn to page 20.  If you take the right branch, turn to page 61. If  you walk outside the cave, turn to page 21. Be  careful! In the Cave of Time you might meet up with  a hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex, or be lured aboard an  alien spaceship!

What happens  next in the story? It all depends on the choices you  make. How does the story end? Only you can find  out! And the best part is that you can keep  reading and rereading until you've had not one but many  incredibly daring experiences! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The reader enters a mysterious cave and by following the instructions on each page can have several different adventures backward and forward in time. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

By	Ross Gilham (Billings Montana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cave of Time (Paperback)

Its not really about anything you get to be the character in the book and you half to make the decions.It takes place in a cave in a castle a ranch and it was a long time ago alot of years ago .my favorite part of the book was when these two guards draged me out of the chamber and put two spears at my back and just about killed me.I dont no what kind of people would like this book but i do recomend it because its a short, easy, and fun book to read .

5.0 out of 5 stars Take Me Back in Time--The One that Started it All..., Jun 2 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cave of Time (Paperback)

In 1979, Edward Packard, who is easily the best author of the entire gargantuan Choose-Your-Own-Adventure series, wrote and published this book, and with that one stroke he not only gave us all a classic adventure story but founded an entire new genre of fiction as well! The whole idea of the "interactive novel" did not even exist before the first Choose-Your-Own-Adventure, as far as I know. The instant the series became popular, almost thousands of imitators started up, most of which died while the series that was started by "The Cave of Time" just kept going and going, like the Energizer Bunny. Today, it is considered just part of a whole category of books. "The Cave of Time" itself is an imaginative story that takes its reader all through time, from the end of the entire universe to the days of Camelot and everything in between. The mechanism for the time travel is NOT the typical machine, but rather a system of tunnels that can transport you in different directions through time depending on which way the tunnel is heading. An original and intriguing idea. Since the early '90s, the CYOA series has sadly gone downhill, with practically all the books being about martial arts and sports--as if they suddenly think that little GIRLS never read their books! and the number of endings has shrunk and shrunk, until now it is often less than TEN per book! As a female who has been reading, collecting, and loving this series since she was 8, this is a major disappointment for me, and I'm sure it would be to anyone else out there who may remember the "good old days" of this series. But THIS book, with its subject matter that would appeal to ANYONE, both boys AND girls, and its whopping 40 endings, is the classic that started it all. This is the standard that interactive fiction for kids has been trying--and failing--to reach ever since. ...Notorious
