About the Author
Nicolas Bourbaki is the pseudonym for a group of mathematicians that included Henri Cartan, Claude Chevalley, Jean Dieudonne, and Andres Weil. Mostly French, they emphasized an axiomatic and abstract treatment on all aspects of modern mathematics in Elements de mathematique. The first volume of show more Elements appeared in 1939. Subsequently, a wide variety of topics have been covered, including works on set theory, algebra, general topology, functions of a real variable, topological vector spaces, and integration. One of the goals of the Bourbaki series is to make the logical structure of mathematical concepts as transparent and intelligible as possible. The books listed below are typical of volumes written in the Bourbaki spirit and now available in English. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

I really enjoyed this book. I've read several CYOA books as a kid, but these were geared for kids. This is the first adult CYOA book I've read, so it was a unique experience for me.
I took my time to read this book and go through the various possible endings. I'll admit I did this by bookmarking pages where I had a choice, so that I could backtrack, but I really wanted to read this book in its entirety, and I am glad I did.
The choices you make for your character can really affect his life. show more There is some religion/philosophy in here, which I found really interesting as I read it, since in one storyline, he debates religion with his girlfriend, in another he debates philosophy, and so on.
The endings are rather varied. Some are really weird, like when your character goes into this garden maze with an apple in it. Others are "quiet"/ordinary. Some endings are abrupt, and some sad. There's also one ending that's really... unique. I won't spoil it, though. I'll say that the author came up with some very realistic scenarios (i.e. college, and so on) so if you liked CYOA books as a kid, go ahead and give this a try. show less
