If you’ve ever wanted to read a hard-boiled choose your own butt-kicking novel then Fission Chips is definitely for you.  In point of fact if you’re a fan of the hard boiled genre of fiction at all then you’ll probably enjoy this one.  It’s got everything, from the down-and-out private eye to the sassy secretary and the insurmountable mountain of problems.

I’ve read all six chapters and my only complaint would be that it seems to be moving slowly.  A lot is going on, and the action never slows, but we haven’t learned anything more about the protagonist’s main problem, why he’s in it or how he’ll solve it.

Aside from that no complaints, the writing is tight with few (if any) spelling/grammar mistakes, the site design is easy-to-navigate and the use of polls to involve readers in the story’s outcome is a rather ingenious use of the power of the interwebz.

If you enjoy pulp, noir, or stories about guys getting beat up several times a day, then I’d say definitely give this one a look see.
