Disappointing, August 28, 2007
This review is from: The World's Biggest Book of Brainteasers & Logic Puzzles (Paperback)
"The World's Biggest Book of Brainteaser and Logic Puzzles" has almost 600 pages of puzzles. The puzzle sections include: "The World's Most Amazing Logic Puzzles"; "The World's Most Challenging Lateral Thinking Puzzles"; "The Word's Most Nearly Impossible Brain Bafflers"; "The World's Most Intense False Logic Puzzles"; "The World's Most Taxing False Logic Puzzles"; "The World's Most Mystifying Logic Puzzles"; "The World's Most Daunting Math Puzzles"; "The World's Greatest Critical Thinking Puzzles"; and "The World's Most Mind-Boggling Word Puzzles". The solutions are in the back of the book directly after the puzzles.
"The World's Biggest Book of Brainteasers and Logic Puzzles" is a mixed bag. For starters, I didn't realize when I ordered it that the book didn't have new puzzles but instead consists of puzzles from previously published books, which was a huge disappointment, especially since I already owned some of the books included. This is also problematic since some of the puzzle sections, like the Lateral Thinking ones, have no explanation on how to solve the puzzles which might confuses solvers not familiar with that type of puzzle. The book contains logic, math, and word puzzles with a heavy emphasis on the logic puzzles. Many of the logic puzzles are the type where you have to decide who is telling the truth and who is lying. My favorite puzzles in the book are the word puzzles, several of which are difficult but far too many of them give away the answer in either the name of the puzzle or the description of the puzzle. While the solution selection gives detailed answers to each puzzle, I found it extremely frustrating that the answers did not list the number of the page the puzzle was on which made it difficult to find the answer if you skip from puzzle to puzzle.
While "The World's Biggest Book of Brainteasers and Logic Puzzles" had some challenging puzzles, I was ultimately disappointed in it.

a must buy for logic lovers, January 4, 2008
This review is from: The World's Biggest Book of Brainteasers & Logic Puzzles (Paperback)
I just love logic problems that are challenging, yet solvable. This book is really great since it has a variety of math and thinking problems. It is very thick and sure to keep you occupied for a while. I'm not an expert, but I have several very difficult logic books and this one seems fun and not way to hard.It is a good buy. I am really glad I got it.
