5.0 out of 5 stars CHALLANGING, USEFUL AND YOU GET FAR MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAY. What a delightful collection of puzzles this one is. June 22, 2011

What a delightful Kindle download this one was! In this day and age it is so nice to get your monies' worth out of your hard earned dollar. This is most certainly the case here!

This is a collection of 100 visual puzzles (quizzes, if you will) which go from relatively easy; easy but challenging, to ones that present some difficulties and truly make you think. Now keep in mind that you are talking to an older guy here who throughout his life has had great problems with any sort of spatial puzzles and great, great problems visualizing geometric designs and diagrams. My brain simply does not work that way. I say this because I probably had more problems working through these puzzles than an "ordinary" person would.

It should be noted though that despite the fact that I am technologically challenged, (Read that as absolutely clueless as to electronic products such as smart phones, iPads, and even lap top computers, and to a great extent, by beloved Kindle) I found that I had no problem what so ever in navigating this program on my Kindle. At first I thought I would and even felt a bit intimidated by the excellent instructions provided by the author. But after working through four or three of the quizzes I suddenly "got it," and at that point the navigation become almost second nature for me.

While there is no color on the Kindle, that posed no problems what so ever. I suppose it would be prettier on some other device, but it is certainly not necessary to fully enjoy and learn from this little book.

I have recently had to spend a tremendous amount of time setting in various waiting rooms in the various offices of physicians. I always take my Kindle for reading and I must tell you that setting working these problems between my reading bouts was a refreshing change of pace. I have also noted that working such problems helps me stay a bit mentally sharper, and goodness knows I need all the help in that area I can get. Between my books, my crossword puzzle books I always carry and this nice little gathering of puzzles, I find that time goes by so much more quickly. It is so much better than watching ESPN or Lifetime movies on the T.V. located in these waiting rooms.

You most certainly get far more than you paid for with this one and I do highly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars 100 Puzzle Quizzes - A review August 21, 2011

By Amanda

Format:Kindle Edition

100 Puzzle Quizzes is the ultimate electronic puzzle book for any puzzle-lover. Like its name suggests, the e-book contains 100 puzzles in a variety of themes including visual, spatial, counting, geometry, matchstick, coins, and searching. This full-color, interactive puzzle book provides a puzzle-lover with hours of fun.

As a puzzle-lover myself, there were a lot of things that I liked about 100 Puzzle Quizzes. I loved that it was available as an e-book. Instead of having to flip back and forth from a puzzle to an answer, all I had to do was select my answer and I would automatically be taken to a page that either explained why my answer was right or told me I was wrong. I also like that the puzzles offered in this e-book aren't your standard Crossword and Sudoku varieties. Many of these puzzles I have never seen before, and I enjoy the opportunity to challenge myself in news ways.

However, there are also a few things about the book that I'm not crazy about. For one, I can find instructions as to how to do these unusual puzzles anywhere. Some of them are really foreign to me, and I literally have no clue what I'm supposed to do. Also, I downloaded the book on the Kindle application on my Android Phone. I'm not sure if the problem is with the application on my phone or with the e-book itself, but every time I get an incorrect answer, I have to start at the very beginning of the book and search through the pages until I find the puzzle I want. This wasn't a big deal during the first twenty or so pages, but it got old fast as I moved into the more intermediate puzzles (which were more difficult so I got the wrong answer more often.)

Despite the minor problems I have with the book, I'm very happy to have had the chance to review it. I constantly find myself going back to try to solve a tricky puzzle; and when I'm not actually looking at the e-book, I'm thinking about it. All in all, this is an affordable and enjoyable collection of puzzles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous book of new puzzles June 15, 2011

By Ed Pegg TOP 100 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is the first truly great puzzle book I've seen for the Kindle. Many image-intensive books have not converted well for the Kindle, and others weren't all that original.

This book is different. If you're new to puzzles, then here 100 new puzzles for you to try out. More importantly, if you're *not* new to puzzles, then here are 100 new puzzles for you to try out.

Take a look at the sample pages that are provided. This is easily the most gorgeously illustrated book I've seen on the Kindle. One note -- these puzzles have great images, but are not interactive puzzles (yet).

Strimko is another great logic game for the Kindle by the Grabarchuks, and that one happens to be interactive, but there isn't nearly as much variety as in this book.
