nah, it's not one of those. it's really annoying, too! i was just getting into the story, then i go to the next page and it's 70 pages later! and i don't have a receipt since i bought it like two weeks ago and i didn't think to make sure the page numbers were all there. damn :(

i'm going to go and try to get a new one from the place i bought it though (chapters). i doubt mine is the only copy that is fucked up.

edit: and as far as i can remember, choose your own adventures had regular page numbers but just asked you to jump back and forth between them. this one had the pages all mixed up.

there were better ones than choose your own adventure though.

you had to have dice, a piece of paper, and a pencil. you got gold and killed monsters...OR YOU DIED!

they were just such lame stories, and terribly written. plus, i really didn't like the idea of a book that told me what i was doing: "you go down a hall, you open the door" WHAT IF I DON'T?! HUH?!
