I know there are only so many things that can be done with a prism, but still...there are other designs that could be combined with prisms to add more interest, challenge and fun. Each page looked like a copy of the one before it, with maybe a new angle or a bigger set of triangles. In the back of the book, there are 3 of 4 very advanced designs that I wish had been made into a whole book of like designs. If you're just starting out and don't mind repeating the same "look", then you may like it. I gave my brand new one to a friend instead. I recommend Power Mandala's instead, for variety, complexity and challenging fun.

2.0 out of 5 stars this coloring book... i would say is a "no"..., November 27, 2006

Yes, all the designs look like copies. To be more specific, take the design you see on the cover or an excerpt from the inside, and the shape, the outermost outline, is the same for every picture. Except maybe sometimes the 4 mini hexagons are triangles. Besides that, every picture is the same thing, with different triangles on the inside.

Overall, the quality and the designs aren't bad at all, the only bad thing is that they are SO REPETETIVE!

My niece came to visit me over Thanksgiving and she had two coloring books that belonged to her mother (about 30 years ago!). They were designs by Ruth Heller. My daughter loved them and so did my nephew and son. I immediately got online and found more and ordered them for all four and they love them.
