5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Creative Insight, January 4, 2004

This review is from: Puzzles For The High IQ (Paperback)

This book, as well as Lloyd's other book "Test Your Creative Thinking" have stimulated several levels of creativity and taken my visualization skills to an all-new depth of dimension. Those interested in Lloyd's work should highly consider checking out his web-site. He has put some puzzles on there, as well. www.ahapuzzles.com

This book contains refreshingly new and and innovative/ingenuitive puzzles. These aren't your average, rehashed cliché's found in most like-minded books out there. I have owned several puzzle books in my time and none other can bear comparison to the unequivocal amount of wit and dexterity that Lloyd provides. Not only are his puzzles a bit of a mental tilt-a-whirl, but they are also *Fun*!

The puzzles contained in this book are more than simple puzzles or IQ items; they are kind of works of art, sometimes poetry; you take so much pleasure to read the solution or to discover it yourself! Totally original material.
Lloyd King is a real creative person.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great challenge, August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Puzzles For The High IQ (Paperback)

This is the epitome of puzzles. Answers are provided but I sealed those in my copy and am still working to solve them all before I check my answers. Some appear impossible but suddenly get the aha! insight and discover a unique and sometimes amusing answer. If you like a challenge here it is.
