** Certain bad endings are determined by factors entirely outside of the reader's control. In one ''Goosebumps'' book, you are shrunken to a tiny size and have to deal with a (to you) enormous rat. Your decision in the matter is determined by how many letters are in your first name. If your first name has an odd number, you successfully evade the rat and can continue onward. If your first name has an even number? Your attempt to make friends with the rat works a little too well and it takes you back to its nest where you spend the rest of your days raised by a small furry mammal. Game Over. In another book, getting one of the good endings is determined by your height. In the same book, on the path to another ending, you die if you're not left-handed. In some other absurd scenarios, you will be led to a Game Over page if you are not left-handed, if you are reading the book while the weather is rainy outside, or if you are not wearing blue-colored clothes while reading the book. Basically, many GYG books are either LuckBasedMission or UnwinnableByDesign, unless the readers are prepared to cheat.
