Great Cryptos from Great Minds,
This review is from: Clever Cryptograms (Paperback)
In this book, Louise Moll has collected 10 quotes each from some of the best minds ever and encrypted them. Accompanied by Jim Sharpe's excellent illustrations of each person before their quotes. People included are: St. Thomas Aquinas, Einstein, Epicurus, Gandhi & Oscar Wilde to name a few. There are 30 in all. The quotes range from sentimental to hilarious. Hours of enjoyment to be had by all who love good cryptograms.

Clever Cryptograms,
By Katie "book worm" (PA , USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clever Cryptograms (Paperback)
I just began doing cryptograms again - after about a year-long hiatus - and I have to say that I had forgotten just how fun & frustrating decoding cryptograms could be!
"Clever Cryptograms" is filled with puzzles that, when solved, provide the reader with a quote that is either inspirational &/or thought provoking - food for both the mind & spirit. Each "chapter" focuses on the quotes of one specific person, including: St. Thomas Aquinas, Pearl Buck, Rene Descartes, Albert Einstein, and many, many, more. The only reason I gave this book 4 starts instead of 5 is because there are no hints - so, if you get stuck, you have to go the full solution and, at least for me, my eyes wind up wandering and I tend to see a lot more of the solution than I wanted... Overall, I think this is a fun cryptogram book, filled with much food for thought. So, if you can live without the hints, I'd recommend that you give it a try.

Hours of Fun!!!,
By Bill Platts (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clever Cryptograms (Paperback)
I recommend this book to anyone who loves good word fun. This is by far the most enjoyable book of cryptograms to be found on the market, and is very similar in the puzzle style found in Sean-Alonzo's underground hit Cryptogrammaton.
