Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I lost brain cells
Review: Although the book's format reminded me of those great "5 minute detective"-type multiple-path books I read as a kid, what hit me so hard is that, having been to TJ (when I was about the age of the protagonists) is how spot-on it is. The surreal palette of trouble that happy-go-lucky Gringos can wind up in is portrayed with such... accurate humor, can only attest to the fact that the Zuckermans have probably made this trek more often than they want to admit! Tijuana was the perfect first choice to start off this series - but having done so, what could possibly match it?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not worth your money
Review: Good concept, bad execution. Racist, sloppy, cheap, and tries too hard.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Great for the low brow reader!
Review: I guess you should be able to tell this book has zero literary value. I thought it would be fun because I used to go to Tijuana as a teenager to get drunk and act like I don't have lick of sense, so, knowing that, I could have come up with funnier experiences than these fictional ones.

Oh, and the overuse of trendy vocabulary is nauseating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just what I needed
Review: Loved it. If you have a wicked sense of humor and like to laugh I reccomend this book. Can't wait until the 2nd installment in the Fall of 2003. Great job ladies. Oh and how about a signed copy of your new book???? Had to ask.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not worth your money
Review: ok so it isnt a literary work of art, true. but must all books be educational? this is entertaining, hilarious, and reflects my own mishap adventures as a college student. plus, it reminds me of the "choose your own adventure" books i LOVED as a kid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tijuana Adventures
Review: These girls have pinned every trip I have ever made to TJ! Whether it was the guy with the whistle pouring tekillya or the old El Caminos painted neon green and red blasting La Bamba, I fell right back into my greatest (and most terrible) TJ experiences after picking up this novellete.

The characters in this book remind me of the girls my mother told me to stay away from and that my dad told me I could look forward to one day meeting. These are the type of girls that hiss when the waiter brings water to a dinner table and never mix their bourbon with anything but ice!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: buy it or die not knowing true happiness
Review: this book is first of all, hilarious. Second of all, its concept is pure genius. Third, has anything have to do with Tiajuana ever not great? Well, although this book is mainly aimed at girls, I loved it. Men, buy this for your girl and read it when she's not looking. You will love its humor, wit, and pure creativity. There is no choose-your-own-adventure book like it. I can't wait for the next "Miss Adventures" book. This book has changed the face of choose-your-own-adventure books forever. The book is so good that the only explaination for its greatness is that Nora and Lilla Zuckerman are writing goddesses. This book is funny as hell.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just what I needed
Review: With all the horrible news that is going on in the world I was desparate to read something as fantastic and hilarious as Tangle In Tijuana! This book helped me to go to sleep in a good mood imagining myself partying in Mexico instead of worrying about the end of the world. That said, I stayed up late reading each of the over 30 endings of the book. My roommate picked up the book and won't give it back to me she loved it so much. This book is a riot and I CAN NOT WAIT until the next one comes out!
