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

By	Kelly Dorsett (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews

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*!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure creativity!, January 29, 2002

By	laurent dubois (Fontaine-L'Eveque, Belgium) - See all my reviews

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 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.
