In the book The Golden Path by Anson Montgomery you get to
decide your own destiny. You and your two friends,
Dresdale and Peter, spend the summer on an internship at
an archaeological and geological expedition run by your
parents in the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. You and
your friends are exploring off the trails when you find an
unusual pottery shard. You start researching it and decide
to use it as a project for school. The next thing you know
your parents are missing, some guy is accusing you of
stealing the pottery shard and you're getting expelled
from school. You have no choice but to find your parents
and save the day. It's up to you to be the hero in this
adventure.
Opinion:
I thought the Golden Path was a good book. I thought
the beginning was slow, but the more I got into the book, the
harder it was to put down. I thought it was a great idea
to let the reader choose the decisions the character made
and how the book was left with multiple endings. One of
the strengths in this book is how it draws the reader's
attention further and further into the story. I think a
weakness in this book are some parts where the reader gets
to decide what happens to the character, I think it
becomes more confusing, like where the character can die.
You have to find the place where you went wrong and re-
read it and make another decision of what to do. I found
myself trying to remember my page number or writing it
down so I could just go back to that page if I made a
mistake. I thought the ending in this book was okay. It
left me with many questions but just enough answers to buy
the next volume book and read on. I would recommend this
book to anyone who is tired of reading the same types of
books and wants to try something new.
