This is a simple Choose Your Own Adventure style book, I actually liked that it revolved around everyday mundane getting ready for work around the house tasks but I would have liked to have seen some of the threads continue on a bit pass the I arrive at work.  Especially when you consider the supermarket thread indicates a major event happening, I would have liked to have experienced that at the airport (the character is a pilot) through other choice paths.  All except one path (the supermarket) are fairly short, your morning journey comes to an end very fast.  Not sure why the author chose to make buying a supermarket sandwich a monumental read but I would have liked to have seen more choices during it such as give the sandwich to the homeless guy, correct a stupid comment by the checkout chick, things like this.  What also lets this down from a higher rating is that a number of choices end up at the same pages so it doesn't matter what you choose at times, they all have the same outcome.  More independent threads were really needed to make this better, but what's here will pass a couple of hours of your time.  It's good enough that I'll check out another of these books by this author one day but it simply isn't in the same league as the Click Your Poison novels for example.  It also isn't formatted as well, with this one there's no links back to the start when you reach the end, or an index back to the choice pages.  You've really got to rely on bookmarking each choice page as you come to it on your Kindle and then going back to it that way.I did find the main character fairly interesting, he's opinionated and a fair bit self centred but that's always fun with this sort of read.
