Brush of Truth - iPad edition

What it is: an e-book with reader-controlled storyline about a paint brush with magical powers.

What you do with it: read the book page by page. At the end of each segment of the book there are 'decision points' (65 in all) where you choose how the story should continue, leading to one of the 20 possible endings.

What we liked: excellent concept of 'reader-controlled' storyline (adding 'randomness' factor), great story, no distracting elements.

What we didn't like: we wish there were more illustrations. Doesn't work in the portrait mode. Some sort of visual map of the already taken 'paths' would be handy.

Please note that this is an e-book, not a typical 'interactive book' with sounds and animations!
