A Choose Your Own... comedy novel
by Rudolf Kerkhoven and Daniel Pitts
4.7 out of 5 stars (6 customer reviews)
Here's what Konrath had to say: "I checked out other interactive fiction ebooks, and this was one of my favorites. Lots of strange stuff happening, some wildly divergent threads, and a healthy dose of WTF keep this ebook interesting even after multiple reads. Will this be the next big trend in ebooks? I sure hope so."
And here's what Motherlode E-Book Reviews had to say:
"A "choose-your-own-adventure" for adults, "The Adventures of Whatley Tupper" is a riot. This ever-changing book lets you decide what choices Whatley makes, and that determines where his adventure leads you. Just like the kid version from the 70s-90s, but with decidedly adult themes, this one book provides you with a plethora of potential storylines... The stories ranged from silly to downright ridiculous, but I was thoroughly entertained the entire way through. I could see the author creating an entire set, and re-igniting the choose-your-own-adventure series fad again, this time for adults."

Here's the set-up:
Until now, the life of Whatley Tupper has been a mundane one. He is a Magnum P.I. obsessed, middle-aged janitor working at a crappy university. But something is in the air tonight—and it’s not just the carbon monoxide leaking from the furnace. What exactly will happen? Well, you decide:
Will Whatley join forces with the Denny’s night manager to solve the mystery of a renegade group of custodians? Will Whatley tame the troglodyte murderer living in the disused network of campus tunnels? Will Whatley inadvertently travel into a parallel universe that is, in fact, another plotline? Will Whatley journey to Honduras to reunite with his deported love? Will Whatley order chicken on the plane, or fish? Will Whatley question his own sexuality? Will Whatley leave all this madness behind and book a relaxing Alaskan cruise? Or will Whatley turn out to be nothing more than a figment in the imagination of his idol, Tom Selleck? The Adventures of Whatley Tupper
is a Choose Your Own Adventure style comedy, filled with so many formulaic plots and inane stock characters that, as a whole, it is something utterly unique.
is a Choose Your Own Adventure style comedy, filled with so many formulaic plots and inane stock characters that, as a whole, it is something utterly unique. "The Adventures of Whatley Tupper is representative of the boundless creativity, raw energy, and just plain sheer fun and entertainment that independent authors are capable of and deserve recognition for accomplishing. There are things done with this story that is only possible through the new digital revolution in publishing that is the ebook....
"Utilizing the Choose Your Own Adventure and hyperlinking ability of the ebook to maximum effect, the duo has spun a crazy, zany, absolutely hilarious and damn fun as hell spiderweb of interconnected events, characters, and all with a variety of outcomes. I’m not even going to spoil anything, just take my word for it that this ebook is worth your time."--Digital Spotlight Fiction Review
