The puzzles in this book are great. However, I liked the author's book Are You Smart, or What? better because, besides puzzles, it has lots of fun stuff including outrageous intelligent quotients.

Once again Pat has me and my family laughing out loud as we team up to solve the riddles in this book. Some of the word plays are simple and the grade school cousins join in, sometimes even my latin-schooled father scratches his head. You'll love this one!

What a joy this book is. Our family fought over who could have the book until we got smarter and bought more copies, one for each person in the family (5 total). Maybe Pat's book did help make us smarter!

My husband,daughter and I had a lot of fun working out these word games. It's a really fun book that challenges your mind in many different ways. As I read some of the word games I was amazed at how incredible Pat Battaglia's imagination is to come up with the questions. I highly recommend this book.

Pat Battaglia has produced another fun book of cerebral challenges guaranteed to give you hours of mental exercise and entertainment. As the subtitle states, these are "amusing word games for all ages." Fittingly, I am giving copies to my exceptionally gifted children as well as their equally bright grandparents who are retired from academia.

My fiance wanted me to order this book because he enjoys sharing riddles with the kids, however, this book has very few actual riddles (I think there's 2). It isn't a bad book at all, it just wasn't precisely what we had in mind, and many of the brain teasers were more for younger kids- so our 14 year old was pretty quickly bored with it. We have friends with a 10 year old though, so it will still be used.

but Pat Battaglia is! Another fun and engaging puzzle book by the master.
