    I would like - if I may - to take you on a strange journey. This was my favourite series of gamebooks as a kid, and I thought we could play through them together.

    Are you sitting comfortably?

    Then I'll begin.

    Yes, it just gets off to a slow start because it's the first book and wants to set the scene and such.

    Not sure whether you mean 3 or 5 there. 3 is the first one I read and still my favourite. I should have started with that one, really, since there's less prologue.
