Book Description

August 4, 1995
Spread the word...but keep the secret!

The Cube is an imagination game--and more--that holds a secret you are dared not to reveal. Last seen making the rounds in the coffeehouses of Eastern Europe, the Cube is rumored to be of ancient Sufi origin, but no one really knows for certain. This mystery game just seems to reappear when and where it is needed. Now it is here! Inside these pages, the game is revealed along with intriguing stories of others who have played the Cube--including such celebrities as Gloria Steinem, Willem Dafoe, Erica Jong, and Judy Collins.

So don't be square...Get Cubed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly accurate but you can't play it twice., January 2, 2000
This review is from: The Cube: Keep the Secret (Paperback)
You know those stupid psychological tests/games that you get via e-mail? arent those so stupid? and totally inaccurate? Well the CUBE was so frighteningly dead-on and intelligently deep that it puts all those to shame. You can psychoanalyze yourself in 5 questions that are really fun--or you can take a 200-question-long Kinsey Personality Test. Which is more sociable and enjoyable? I highly recommend this book as an ice-breaker and slumber parties and "bonding" activities of that sort. The only problem IMHO is that once you've played the Cube, that's it. Fini. The End. It's a one-time-use-only thing. It's of no logic to take a personality test twice unless you're schizophrenic. I found the book very entertaining and amazingly accurate on the first read, but after that it's useless. Buy this book if you have LOTS of friends, because no one can play it twice. (well you can play it twice but it's not fun the 2nd time; it's just completely redundant). Right now it's collecting dust so I am going to give it to my younger sister, who will have screaming fun with her sorority sisters over it. But again, once they've played the "Cube", no more. Just read it once and pass it on.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting exercise, March 15, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cube: Keep the Secret (Paperback)
The story of the Cube is a very interesting mental exercise. For that, I rate it 5 stars. As for the book, I rate it only 2 stars. Too much fluff on the part of the authors. The exercise presented to you by the story of the Cube is for your interpretation and benefit.

Now for a little "secret" not found in the book. You don't need the book! The story of the Cube and related information can be found several places on the web for free.

P.S. I did buy the book first only to find out I didn't need all of the authors' commentary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, excellent mind journey for your own self-discovery, December 19, 2000
This review is from: The Cube: Keep the Secret (Paperback)
You know those movies that you can't really describe to a friend without giving the whole story away? Well this book is sort of like that. But here's my attempt at a "no spoiler" review.

The Cube is a little visualization/meditation "game" that you can play by yourself or with any other number of people. It only takes a minute or two to play, and once you learn it you can play it with others without referring to the book. The book has quite a few pages, but that's mostly because it's written rather poetically, with only a paragraph or so on each page. It's divided into 5 main sections: an introduction, the "game" (this part is widely spaced over about 15 pages), reflections on the game (this makes up the bulk of the book, and helps you interpret your results of the game), some interviews from a wide range of celebrities who played the game, and an appendix that can optionally help you along in your discovery.

I suggest giving yourself at least a half hour alone to play the game and start reading the main section. When you're done, sit down with your close friends, s.o., or family and play it. You're guarenteed to learn something about each other. Despite the fact that "you can only play it once", I still think the book is worth buying, and I flip through it on occasion.
