24 hours with someone you know is the first hypertext I have read. At
first, I thought it was going to be difficult because I didn’t know how the
story continued in each link, but now I like this freedom since each person can
create a different story.
The action occurs in only 24 hours. The main character arrives to the
house one morning and leaves it the following one. The story is related mostly
in present tense, with some references to the past and some references to a
short future. It has an open ending. The reader is the main character, which
allows to the person is reading the hypertext becoming involved in the story. The
reader can also imagine the ending he or she wants. And I like it.
What I like more is that this hypertext has a link in each stage to start
again, so if you don’t like the part of the story you are reading, you can start
again and choose other links.
To sum up I recommend this hypertext because is not difficult and is
entertaining. As I have said, 24 hours with someone you know is the first
hypertext I have read, but now I know it is not going to be the last one.
