Product Description

Welcome to the world of Whatever You Want, a novel that turns twentysomething London into a fantasyland of endless possibilities. Play the game as Barbarella -- alluring, flirtatious, and sharp as the lash from a bondage whip -- or as Barnaby, with his insatiable attraction to beautiful women and danger. Armed only with your quick wits and social expertise to navigate through the minefields of drunken gratification, easy conquests, and ruthless adversaries, you hold the fates of these vulnerable heroes in your hands.

Should you dare to risk it all at an illicit casino or charm your way around a country estate where things could get up-close-and-very-personal? Will you fight to win back your lost loves or choose instead to have the time of your life getting over them? And when you've had all the fun you possibly can, do you have what it takes to make it to The Perfect Ending? Getting what you want takes more than a little agile thinking and social cunning ... Because life was never meant to be a spectator sport.

Way to go!
As a teacher, I long for the long lazy summer days when I get to go to the local bookstore and purchase several good reads for the beach. I was excited to see such a fun take on the choose your own adventure novels, and some English chick fiction that I hadn't read and immediately ran to the register with my copy of "Whatever You Want".
I began my summer books with Whatever You Want and totally related to the characters although I live in the states and don't have the lifestyles of the characters.
I am not even finished reading it yet, but had to get on here and say...fabulous...gotta get back now to the characters that I love and see what happens next!

A really sexy read
When one of my friends recommended Whatever You Want to me, it took me a while to get my but to the book store and buy it. I'm definatly not someone who likes to read. But when I started reading it, I was immediatly hooked. I could totally relate!!!! I loved how Timms & Hayes talked about London and made it seem like Barbie & Barnaby were real! I mean, which girl can't relate to Barbarella in some way. And such great character names! Although it's not really suspensful, Laurence & Rachel have you hooked. I couldn't stop reading it.
Another thing I liked about this book, is that there are not many like it. How many authors would base a book on two such differnet characters? This book is hilariously funny and I recommend it to anyone who really wants so know what the other sex is thinking!

Chick Flick - try Dick Flick!
No names allowed as I'm a guy and as my girlfriend keeps telling me, I'm not allowed to read these kind of books - they're for girls, right? Wrong. Stop hogging all the good stuff, I tell her, what other reads have you been hiding from me? I hit this book last Sunday morning after a big night out, ladies close your eyes, sitting on the john passing the time, as you do. Maybe one hour later, she's like knocking on the door, wondering what's wrong with me, but if you have read this book, you'll know what I'm talking about. I chose to be Barnaby to start with, as I'm a guy and wanted to be a guy in London for a change - thought it'd be interesting to see if I could pull a British chick. As it happens I couldn't and I didn't make the 'perfect ending' either, but who cares? I had way too much fun mixing Viagra in other girls drinks, speeding on a ducatti pass the Queen's house, and taking part in a real 'Sting'. Now that's the way to spend your time! And the funniest thing is that my girlfriend's started acting all different on me, including some manouvres in the bedroom department which I swear she must have picked up from Barbarella. Guys, get your girls this book, leave them for a night, then come back and ENJOY my friends!
