I was not able to get into this book despite trying.

This is a fantastic book and one that I think everyone should have just to keep our minds working on something different than whatever you’re normal activity is during the day. There are many different types of puzzles, brain teasers, riddles, logic puzzles, and all types. These are from ancient times, medieval, Victorian, to modern day. Some when you get into the book you have heard or solved at one time or another. Others I must say I never heard and I had a father you used to use some of these riddles when I and my sisters were younger as a form entertainment. It was not until I got older that a realized he was getting us used to critical thinking and that is what a lot of these puzzles do. In a time when we all get attached to electronics sometimes we forget that we need to stimulate our minds in other ways to help us to continue to grow and learn. I of course am still going through this book but felt it was time to do the review because if I wait it would not get done for another year or so. This is a very good book and worth every penny.

No, I can't solve your problems! But what a neat book. Kept us entertained trying, though.

This is a summer book. A book that you can tackle for hours at a time and work with friends to solve the problems.

I really enjoyed most of this book. I did a lot of logic puzzles when I was younger and this reminded me of them. Most of these were puzzles I hadn't read before and I enjoyed that there were all levels of puzzles and the explanations were clear and coherent.
After awhile it did get a bit boring so it might be good to portion the puzzles out. I also would not recommend getting the ebook. It was really annoying to try and flip back and forth between the front and back on a digital version, so much easier with a physical book.

Four stars
This book comes out March 21
