I received this DRC from NetGalley.
I think the premises for the stories were interesting, but some of them just felt too meandering without a strong conclusion for my tastes. I did really like the last story, though - "Choose Your Own Apocalypse." I'm just a fan of choose your own adventure books in general, and it was a nice surprise for one to be included here. It was a bit hard to get through since my copy didn't have page numbers, so I might go back and read more of the endings later.
