Choose Your Own Adventure - Just for Kids?

I have just completed a piece in a new format called "Delia Burch", posted below. I based the format on the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books that I loved as a child. I wanted to take the fun of that kind of interactive reading and apply it to a higher reading level.

This blog is proving not to be the best medium for this kind of story because it won't allow me to link the readers' choice directly to Delia's next step. So, instead, I have had to ask the reader to scroll through their chosen path guided by bolded fonts and numbers. This isn't ideal, but gets the idea across.

Please take a look and let me know if, under better reading circumstances, this is a kind of format that you would enjoy. I would very much like to know your first impressions. This may not be a kind of reading that adults appreciate, it may be too cumbersome, too much work, or too fragmented to hold interest. Or it could be refreshing, different and fun. Whatever your opinion, please feel free to comment. Your comments can help me become a better writer and direct my work toward you as my audience. THANK YOU!
