Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

I met Derek in 2001 on the internet after he contacted me on some research I was doing. It was at this point I learned of his remarkable ability to create Palindromes. I have never seen anyone in Mensa, Intertel or other high I.Q. societies, who could create Palindromes instantaneously and in such incredible volume (over 6,000) with such ease. It is simply amazing. I mentioned to Derek that I was presenting to the Gulf Coast Mensa Society's gifted children on the Native American culture's mind mapping techniques. I am very pleased because I can pass on information regarding this book to MENSA which will absolutely thrill the membership. How timely, as the theme for this year's program is "Palindromeda!" Even the theme of the evening dance is to be about Palindromes. Everyone will love the curiosity of Zo's Palindromes. Derek is the Man in this work and I am thrilled to laud his remarkable ability.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Incredibly Remarkable Collection of Palindromes, April 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Zo's Palindromes: P.A.L.I.N.D.R.O.M.E. (Paperback)

This book contains the best collection of palindromes I have ever seen. They are original, unique and entertaining. Every time I pick up the book, I am amazed that the common words I use everyday are able to be used in such a creative manner. The uncanny, and almost magical way the palindromes come together are unbelievable. This book is definitely a collector's item as it contains palindromes that far surpass collections I have seen before in complexity and volume.

Some samples:

* Sega mist files lifts images
* Revenge beg never
* Evolving is a sign IV love

Be prepared to contemplate the philosophical and often poetic messages captured in many of ZO's palindromes. The collection of palindromes created by Derek Chin are amazing, I believe he has cracked the code in understanding how to create palindromes. You should definitely buy this book.

Trust me -- this book is one of a kind. If you like wordplay, you'll love this book. Or if you know someone who does (perhaps a friend), it would make a great gift. Strongly recommended!
