Pathogens: An Interactive Zombie Survival Gamebook (Click Your Poison) Paperback – August 26, 2016

This book (as well as all the books of the "click your poison series ") is one of those that you just can't put down once you get into it! There are so many twists and turns. It's part mystery and pat game. You make the choices what to do! You my very well get killed, but if you make the right choices, you will get your chosen character to freedom or at least away from his or her worst of it and on the way to the right path. Then you can go on to the Next challenge/character! It's a great way to spend some time and not have to quickly react to things like in a video game. You read and make a choice at your pace. If you can remember the names of the chapter you are sent to, there is a way to kind of go back without starting over. I write them down sometimes. I really get into it! These books are a lot of fun!

Gamebooks are usually much more game than book, but James Schannep finds the happy middle so you can enjoy this book *as a book*, as well as a game. It's fun to read and hugely entertaining. I find the cover artwork to be perfectly illustrative of the product within. There are so many layers, and the detail packed into each one is surprising. You really get your money's worth with this book. A lot of time, effort, and care was put into it, and it shows. There are plenty of characters to choose from and the paths to take are unique enough that multiple reads don't feel like wasted effort. If this is your thing, pick up a copy. If it's not your thing, maybe grab a copy anyway and try something new.

There is a reason why I tell everyone about James Schannep's work. Every single one of the books in the Click Your Poison Series are fun and really make you think about what your next move should be. The characters are very well crafted and truly do feel like your comrades in these stories. PATHOGENS is no exception to this. Within the first few minutes of starting, I was having a blast and was pulled right in. And if you played INFECTED, this book feels like a return to some beloved friends. You WANT to learn more about these characters. You CARE about them. That is part of what makes these books so fun and intriguing. I, personally, feel responsible for keeping them alive lol. Plus, PATHOGENS may even be a bit more challenging than INFECTED!I can never say enough about how much I love this series. I adore PATHOGENS and I very highly recommend it to everyone who loves a good Zombie Apocalypse game/story!

I gave this book 5 stars because I had so much fun. It isn't easy to think like someone else and I am sure my personality got in the way at times and I clicked a path I would take here and there. You get to chose your character 1 of 6 . 1) Sims2)Rosie, 3)Lucas, 4)Hefty, 5)Tyerius or 6) Cooper.I chose Cooper,(Kaeden Cooper) Her friends call her Kay a child of a NASCAR driver, Kay liked to race her motorbike when she could. She worked at the local garage. Her boss wanted to put her behind the counter to be "eye candy" for the grouchy customers, but she was more comfortable under the hood covered in oil. She was the shift managers and gave the other guys their days assignments. She didn't mind being a enigma in the boys club not even on the Racing cricket. She couldn't get sponsor for the Big boys racing, because they all just wanted her to pose by her bike in a bikini and be sexy, she refused. If she was going to race it would be on her terms or she would just race when she could.My first time through ,Cooper made a rookie mistake when she tried to help people that were in a car accident and she was bitten therefore doomed, yet the story continued which as a nice surprise.It is stated in the book description that there are 100 possible endings.So you can read and re-read the story and make choices as a different character if you want to. Did I tell you how much I enjoyed this book? I had so much fun. You are given a choice between two directions you click on one and itpropels the story forward. The second time I read this book my character lived. There were a few times I thought I was a goner. That is the beauty of this book you really don’t know what is going to happen. Pick up your copy to day and check out his other click it books. I am looking forward to reading the fist book “Infected.” This book is pure genius! Well done James.You get the Characters background in the beginning so you can make and informed decision.
