A love emotions don't inspire;
No cards, but still you'd like an ace.

I once was a great mausoleum,
But, cursed, I became a museum.
'Twixt all my points, five,
Some were buried alive.
Now others line up just to see 'em.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tolkien-esque Riddles, October 26, 2007

This review is from: Tower of the Riddle Master : A Riddle Book (Paperback)

It seems like most riddle books today are little more joke books for kids, but not this one. I was looking for something that would give me the pleasure I got when I first encountered riddles in The Hobbit. It took a lot of looking but I finally found it in Tower of the Riddle Master. The riddles here are all poetic with great imagery, clever wordplay, and devious misdirection. And none of the recycled, tired old riddles you see on the internet, these all seem to be original material. A definite must-have. And if anyone finds the second hidden riddle in the book please post something, because it is driving me crazy!

I thought most of the riddles were really hard but then when I tried them out on my friends some of the ones that stumped me they got easy. I like the hints they give you because their not enough to give away the answer but they do help. The riddles in the book are alot better than the free ones you can get on the web, mainly becuase the ones in the book have only one good answer.
