I have a love/hate relationship with Choose Your Own Adventure books. While I obsessively re-read every permutation of The Curse of the Golden Idol in my childhood, I also read the back of the ketchup bottle and the cereal box. I was terrified to miss out on any written word. This meant that I would have to ‘go to' every option and back again, my books were a mess of scraps of paper and bookmarks as I attempted to leave no option unexplored.
I started NPH Choose Your Own Autobiography in the same way, enjoying that the e-book ‘back' button simplified the messy method of my childhood. However, quickly I gave up and decided to read it straight through despite the author's intentions (it's not as though NPH is going to find out and turn up on my doorstep to give me a talking to!).
It really didn't matter! I thoroughly enjoyed walking through NPH's life with him even if it was a bit mixed up. He seems like a genuinely lovely guy who I'd love to just sit and blether with. And there's a cocktail recipe, how to make the best Spaghetti Bolognese from scratch, a NPG cryptic crossword and some extremely embarrassing photos of our host!
Loved, loved, loved it!
