5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous For the Dedicated Puzzler, August 21, 2004

This black and white Photomosaic jigsaw of Elvis is not for the timid puzzler. It takes a great deal of patience, and is one of the most challenging puzzles due to the pieces being tiny photos of Elvis in slightly varying shades of gray. If you are an avid puzzler, and willing to put some serious time in for the satisfaction of the finish, this is a great investment. For those puzzlers who do not want to spend a few weeks on a puzzle, stick to the slightly less challenging colored Photomosaics. If you are coming straight from teh Big Ben puzzle crowd, this may be too big a chunk to bite off - this is definitely one to work your way up to! Not recommended for those under 14 (or those with attention spans of less than 3 hours at a time).

I would not categorize myself as a 'hardcore' puzzler, but I do enjoy putting puzzles together, usually as an after dinner activity with my wife. This puzzle, however, is all frustration, no enjoyment.

After nearly two hours of work, my wife and I had the frame complete. We then sat and stared at each other and our sorted pieces, trying to figure out the next step. The puzzle is made up of tiny pictures of Elvis, all of which are in varying shades of black and white. There is very little variety in the photos, so you'll see many repeats as you squint at the pieces. All this to say that there is no context for where the pieces go, in relation to the puzzle as a whole. Other then brute trial and error, I can't see how you would go about putting this together. Even if you finished the puzzle, I really don't see how the process could possibly be fun.

Unless you are a glutton for punishment, skip this frustrating puzzle!
