I *love* those figure-it-out mystery stories, where you have to riddle through a situation and figure out what happened. I was very disappointed, however, when I grabbed this book to entertain myself for an evening. The stories themselves are relatively interesting, but when it comes down to figuring out whatever the question is, their conclusions are at time questionable and in some cases downright wrong. The leaps of logic they make to deduce their answers are simply not reasonable. I'd bypass this one and look to some of the other offerings out there.

I love reading mysteries, especially the type where you get to figure out the mystery by looking at the clues. I have read books like this before and I was hoping to be quite entertained by this book. Personally, I can't even understand why somebody would allow this garbage to be published. The answers are not very accurate and in some cases downright stupid. This is the worst book of this type I have ever read. Not only was it badly edited, but it is not even very cohesive. I can't see a child or adult liking this. If it were possible to give this book ZERO STARS I would.
