Lloyd keeps you guessing,
By
This review is from: Amazing "Aha!" Puzzles (Paperback)
Even if you'd worked through a number of Lloyd's lateral thinking puzzles, each has its own unique twist. It's always "what the heck is he up to now". You generally don't need any special knowledge to solve these, but they are on average fairly difficult. The problems contain excellent illustrations. Lots of fun!

Puzzles that exercise the brain,
By
This review is from: Amazing "Aha!" Puzzles (Paperback)
This isn't just a recreational book of puzzles, although they are great just for fun. The aim according to the author is to 'improve your ability to "think outside the box" and boost your creativity.'
It's an attractive concept that has some validity. Just as we need to exercise our physical muscles to achieve more with them, we need to give our mental muscles workouts at problem solving and idea generation, and one way to do this is through using puzzles. There's plenty in there, 317 in all, ranging from the relatively trivial to the absolutely stumping. One or two are frustrating because the logic is a little twisted or depends on what something sounds like (risky if English isn't your first language), but there's certainly a good mental workout. Probably the bigges single lesson is to look at each problem you are faced with in a range of different ways. Don't take things at face value. Watch out for the assumptions. It's easy enough to chant this mantra, but much harder to do it in practice - that's where plenty of exercise comes in. Highly recommended.

Excellent puzzle book for any puzzle lover,
By quotagirl "Puzzle Goddess" (Ottawa, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amazing "Aha!" Puzzles (Paperback)
I've been buying puzzle books for over 25 years, and finally I feel I've spent good money with Lloyd King's "Amazing Aha Puzzles" and "Test Your Creative Thinking".
On days that I had a spare half hour in my day to just sit back and relax and enjoy "ME" time, I would pick either of these books to challenge my brain, flex it, and laugh along with it. Once these puzzle books are finished, I intend to buy his others, because I just can't get enough. Monik Robichaud www.quotagrams.com
