Difficulty-wise, I found the game to be a tad easy as I was often given bonus stats that ended up making my attributes far higher than the targets I needed to achieve.

When I first read these types of books, they weren't digital so it was really cool to see the same premise taken into the modern age and ebooks. At certain points, you may have additional options, or penalties, depending on your level of particular Qualities. Miller explained that he loves Reynolds “as a comedian” but that he felt Reynolds had changed after the phenomenal success of the first film. How long would it be before I was asked "are you done with this chunk of the story and want to try another? Get this, You're sitting by your window, watching the sunset and listening to the honking down below on the street.

I think the author did well to capture the voice and feel of Deadpool whilst taking you on a chaotic adventure through the gameplay. Nothing against Deadpool, but I'm definitely looking forward to the other Gamebook, She-Hulk Goes to Murderworld, also written by my good pal Tim (even if he doesn't know it. There seems to be plenty of alternate endings and the achievements section in the end of the book encourages multiple play-throughs. You don’t necessarily have that stop and start feel that you get with a lot of gamebooks where every fight threatens to end your story at any moment. At some points, you'll have to roll one or more d6 (for you non-gamers, that's a regular die) and add a stat to it to determine the outcome of the situation.

Throughout the book, there's also objects you can add to your inventory, but you can only carry five things at any time.Not sure whether this was because I used the bonus points awarded for reading the introduction, or whether the game isn’t quite balanced. Of course, he is not the only fictional entity you’ll have to contend with, as You Are (Not) Deadpool, is rife with villains, allays, henchmen, otherworldly entities and more than a few traps, each providing their own challenges, violent altercations and rewards.

It was interesting as it had a good storyline but had a game to it, having to answer to progress into the book more. You’re playing a game, you’re reading a book, you’re traversing one of the most anarchic plains of Marvel lore and having a blast along the way. The skill in Tim Dedopolus’s writing is his ability to make the reader feel welcome and instantly utilised at the same time. You are (not) Deadpool places you in the unenviable position as Deadpool’s latest (disposable) sidekick in an adventure to track down some dangerous alien weapons flooding the streets of New York.But if I had to guess, it's because Deadpool talking to himself for most of the book wouldn't be as much fun. You Are (Not) Deadpool, is an interesting, clever and ridiculously fun experience where genre and format are in perfect balance. I read through You Are (Not) Deadpool three different times and ended up with three vastly different Deadpool adventures.
