Why Do All the Nice Girls End Up Getting Kidnapped and Held for Ransom? In this book, YOU, the reader, are a thirtysomething part- time actor/full-time waiter suddenly caught up in a kidnapping. Julia, the girl you went out with last night, has been TAKEN HOSTAGE. What will you do? Will you go to the police and ask for help? Will you burst into the hideout, killing everyone in sight, then tell Julia that she shouldnβt misinterpret this as some sort of big commitment? Or will you unplug your phone and just get really, really drunk? The choice is yours! You awake to the sound of the phone ringing. βHello?β You hear a manβs voice. It is muffled. βWeβve got Julia.β βWait, what do you mean?β βWe have kidnapped your girlfriend. If you ever want to see her again---β βWhoa, sheβs not my girlfriend,β you say. βI just met her. I mean, I had a good time with her and all, but I wanna take it slow with this one, I think.β βWe understand,β the voice says. βBut sheβs new to the city, and presently, youβre all she has. Give us fifty thousand dollars by tomorrow or weβll blow her head off.β If you want to go and ask your parents if you can borrow fifty thousand dollars, go to page 173. If you want to have sex with your ex-girlfriend, consider getting back together with her, then think better of it, go to page 183. BE VERY CAREFUL! Youβre directing the story and the CHOICES you make can result in MURDER, GRADUATE SCHOOL ENROLLMENT, TORTURE, MARRIAGE, POST-APOCALYPTIC SLAVERY, UNWANTED PREGNANCY, even TEMPING! Itβs YOUR STORY and YOUR LIFE. All youβve got to do is decide which page you want to turn to. JUST MAKE A CHOICE!
