Journey Under the Sea

Summary: Good idea, not very well executed
Review:
This book could have been alot better. The scenarios in which you are searching the ocean for the lost city are well detailed with a good sense of atmosphere, but when you do reach Atlantis (via that metal lid in the rocks), the story becomes so vague and sped up, it loses most of it's appeal. Some of the events loop into eachother and it's easy to face that attacking squid over and over again. There is not that much character development when it comes to the people of Atlantis. They are described as 'people who look just like you, only they wear greek clothing' and that's it. There is also an event in which you lead a revolt against the King of Atlantis in what seems like 2 sentences. This is not Montgomery's better books. I would say he fared alot better with 'Space and Beyond'. One of the very few things that are appealing about this book are the cool illustrations from Granger.

Summary: Still memorable after nearly 20 years
Review: I was 7 or 8 when I read this book, and it's still the only Choose Your Own Adventure Book I remember. It was well written and had a fresh feel to it, unlike the innumerable other books in the Choose Your Own Adventure series. The twists and turns were exicting (when I was that young), and the endings offered up were sufficiently pleasing. If someone has never read one of these books, and is interested, I'd have to say that this is the one to read.

Summary: This book was fun and adventure packed!
Review: In my opinion I would like to recommend this book to anyone who hates reading.

This book takes place in the deep Atlantic in the lost city of Atlantis. In this book you are the character. What happens in the book is that you are an underwater explorer. This is your biggest mission. You must find the lost city of Atlantis.

Summary: A fascinating and unique adventure
Review: Journey Under the Sea is one of the classic Choose Your Own Adventure books, and among the best ever written. Combining the elements of the unknown with that of high-adventure, the book involves the reader from the start and, depending on your "fate-altering" decisions, will end with a wallop. Find the Lost City of Atlantis, or explore the other mysterious locales of the ocean. But no matter where you turn, danger awaites you in this exciting multi-path quest of never-ending suprise and suspense.

Summary: Montgomery's best
Review: R.A. Montogmery could never equal the mastery of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" genre that Edward Packard did. Too often his books were preachy and overly arbitrary. This book may be his best effort, however, telling a fairly gripping series of adventures of your search for the lost city of Atlantis. The series was new and fresh at this point, and many of its best books were among its first nine.
