Finally! A great puzzle book for kids that goes beyond word search and mazes! I've seen great logic and puzzle books for kids in Russian and was looking for something in English. I've asked every teacher and parent, I've search the web with every conceivable keyword - nothing. And then this book. My daughter (5.5 years) and I are spending many happy hours together. The right age, though, is probably 7+

I recently sent this to a friend who is doing a short sentance in the county jail, and he did not put it down for 3 weeks straight! He was in a hit and run car accident recently and spent 2 months in a comma. Since then, he has had trouble focusing thoughts and short term memory recollection. Since he has been focusing on these puzzles, I have seen a distinct progression in complete, organized thoughts, and he says he is remembering more. Not that is book is a miracle or anything, but I do think it has a direct affect in his brain therapy. I have since ordered him two more books to continue his progress. In his situation, he LOVED the "Wordman of Alcatraz"!

This book is awesome I am looking to purchase a second edition. Is there another one in print? This book is so much fun it gives your mind a real work out, hate to put it down. It is not like other puzzle books where you have to struggle to complete or get so frustrated you don't enjoy it. Everyone that sees me with it says it looks like a lot of fun, my response it is.

If you are buying this book for an adult, I wouldn't. If you are buying this book for a child or someone even up to 16, I think it would be a good thing. It is too kiddish for adults and I sent one to a friend who has a lot of time on his hands and he completed it in two days. I also got one myself at the same time and was a little embarrassed that I had sent him the book because it was so kiddish.

I am a 7th grade teacher and this is my go-to book for puzzles after tests and quizzes. Interesting and engaging, my kids love this book!

if you like brain puzzles and you are better at picture stuff rather than words and math....then i expect you'll appreciate this book no matter what age you are. :-)

My grandkids are absolutely addicted to this book, what a nice change from staring at the TV. What I noticed was that the parents seemed to get involved also. My granddaughter who is 7 looks for it as soon as she gets up. My 9 yr old grandson used to do crossword puzzles with me but we couldn't find ones that fit his age group. This is so much more interesting, some are fairly easy and others not so easy. I just recommended it to the mother of a 5 year old There are enough puzzles for that age group to make it worth the money. I'm sure this will keep them busy through the summer vacation.

My son loves reading and maths, so when I gave him this book, his eyes were glued to it instantly. He said it was fun to do all the puzzles.

I got this for my 9 y/o son so he would have something to do on our vacation. Some of the puzzles were a little hard for him, but he enjoyed many other ones. They really make you think. Even an adult would enjoy doing them. I would highly recommend this book.

My daughter is the envy of her cellmates. It entertains her every day. She was excited to report how useful it is.
