I leaned towards the story side with the four stars. I don't want to say too much about the science fiction themes used in the gamebook because I think not knowing about it on the first playthrough is what makes it nice. Suffice to say, I really liked how the plotline ties into gamebook gameplay, which ties into the gamebook's name, which ties back to the plot. Gamebook aside, it's a nice casual read. The humorous tone and style of the writing reminds of the Trial of of the Clone gamebok (same developer/publisher) but much less exaggerated.
Gamebook-wise, it's very linear. The plot is divided into several parts, so there's really only so much the branches can take you. Many of them are superfiical, serving primarily to tie in to the overarching idea of what this gamebook represents. It's one of those gamebooks that's nicer to read through than to play through.
