<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Two former contributors to <i>The Onion</i> have written a parody of one of childhood's favorite series--strictly for adults.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From <i>The Onion</i> alum writers Mike MacDonald and Jilly Gagnon comes a hilarious choose-your-own-path story to ruin your holiday spirit.</b> <p/> "Bah! Humbug! An ideal choice for holiday haters and readers who enjoy David Sedaris's hysterically funny take, <i>Holidays on Ice</i>."--<i>Library Journal</i> <p/> This is the year you're going to do it: you're going to avoid Christmas completely! <p/> ...or you were, until your island getaway got washed out by a hurricane. Now you have to choose: should you spend the holiday with your shrewish sister and her Europhile husband, or endure your new girlfriend's family for a week? Help chop down a tree even though it might throw out your back, or endure the icy judgment of a woman who thinks only children and pussies help bake cookies? Jet off to the glamorous slums of Kingston, Jamaica, or accept the offer of a ride from a man who never stops smiling...and is probably going to turn you into a skin suit? <p/> From the writers who brought you the hilarious parody <i>Choose Your Own Misery: The Office</i> comes a second helping of misery with a festive twist. Christmas is full of fun surprises for kids, but for adults, it's just an endless series of aggressive crowds, overwhelming credit card debt, and pretending to like the people you're forced to spend it with. <p/> Once you unwrap all the holiday misery hiding in these pages, the blackness of your heart will rival any lump of coal. <p/> I played this book thirty times and the happiest ending I got was one where I got to eat turkey with a badly burned hand. Seems about right. Hilarious every time.--Ryan North, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Romeo And/Or Juliet</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[F]or former Choose Your Own Adventure fans and devotees of dark, dark humor.--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY <p/> "[Choose Your Own Misery] joins Dilbert, The Office, and Office Space in the canon of storytelling about a circle of Hell so sinister--and so insidious--that even Dante wasn't able to imagine it." --HUFFINGTON POST <p/> "In their rip-roaringly funny book, Choose Your Own Misery: The Office Adventure, the two Onion alums make a dark and decidedly adult play on beloved childhood choose your own adventure novels...[Choose Your Own Misery] may be the funniest book released this year."--NEWSWEEK <p/> "Choose Your Own Misery: The Office Adventure is a bittersweet, brutal, and frequently hilarious twist on the childhood classics."--NERDIST.COM <p/> "Hell, the only reason for going to work is to goof-off reading Jilly Gagnon's and Mike MacDonald's book, CHOOSE YOUR OWN MISERY: The Office Adventure!"--E.
