Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐out of 426 pages of puzzles there were merely about 30 pages of introduction and explanation and another 20 pages of Logic, Riddles, Cryptograms, and Word Scrambles, all the remaining pages were solely Word Search, Crossword and Sudoku puzzles which are intensively overwhelming, monotonous, and too narrowly concentrating on those aspects of brain stimulation. I was hoping for more brain enhancement through more and varied variety. the worst part is that too many of the questions in the crosswords are merely trivia that only a very limited audience would have any idea as to what they were related to.

⭐If you like brain games, this is the perfect collection for you

⭐Got this for my husband. While the material is good, it is easily found in other places for free. Also the copy we got has a number of pages already marked up. Hardly new!

⭐Yes…this was exactly what i expected and wanted!

⭐Too hard even for this dummy. Gave it away. Not an easy book. Could not even understand the directions themselves for the games.

⭐Have you ever had a professor who did not know how to get down to the students’ level? Even the “easy” puzzles in this book are extremely difficult. A more appropriate title might be: Brain Games to Make You Feel Like a Dummy.

⭐Good variety of puzzles. Not too hard, not too easy. Anyone complaining that ALL the puzles are difficult is probably not a puzzler. I consider myself an average puzzle solver and these were challenging without being ridiculous.

⭐I got this book for my mom. I’m not getting any smarter but she sure is! Most people seem to like their brain training via computer, but the crime book reading, crossword and puzzle- junkie herself likes her training via the printed word! All that entertainment for a steal of a deal, too!

⭐Purchased this just to have fun doing some mindless activities while keeping the brain thinking. It serves it’s purpose and provides mind-using activities.
