5.0 out of 5 stars best logic books! April 12, 2012

Baron's are the very best logic books...they start with easy to solve and work up to the near impossible. Great for keeping the "aging" brain from completely turning to mush! Nice graphs to work through each puzzle. Keep one in my purse for waiting rooms, airports, and long car rides.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book! May 10, 2012

By Dad of Divas TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Paperback

Whether you are young or old, you are never too old to start challenging your brain and with this book you can do just that. This book starts easy but works into problems that will stump even the smartest of people. I loved sitting down and working through many of these problems myself, but also with my girls, challenging them to think through some of the fun problems too. I highly recommend this book to make you fire up the old brain power and make you think twice about how you look at things, you will not be disappointed with the results and you may find that you are smarter than you think!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm officially a nerd July 16, 2012

I completed my first logic puzzle in the sixth grade. I solved hundreds more preparing for the LSAT. I've probably solved close to a thousand at this point, thanks to Puzzle Baron's website. As accommodating and awesome as the website is, I really do prefer solving logic puzzles the old-school way: pen and paper. (And the incessant clicking while on PB's website drives me insane.) The grids provided are the perfect size for marking up and the clues are nice and succinct.

The book is structured with the "easier" puzzles (or the puzzles that have a higher solve rate, according to Puzzle Baron's website) in the beginning and the "harder" puzzles towards the end.

I only have two complaints: 1) while every puzzle is different, some of the same components pop up again and again and 2) the book could be split into concrete sections by difficulty so you could jump around instead of completing the book page-by-page.
