5.0 out of 5 stars Lloyd keeps you guessing, January 10, 2005

By	William Bultas (St. Louis, MO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even if you'd worked through a number of Lloyd's lateral thinking puzzles, each has its own unique twist. It's always "what the heck is he up to now". You generally don't need any special knowledge to solve these, but they are on average fairly difficult. The problems contain excellent illustrations. Lots of fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars King sized creativity, July 15, 2005

By	coldwell (Durban, South Africa) - See all my reviews

Coming from a relatively puzzle-less background, I am a recent convert to the imaginative puzzle world presented by Lloyd King's special brand of AHA! creative magic. This beautifully presented book contains puzzles ranging from the relatively simple to the almost impossible. Fortunately all the answers, with full and elaborate explanations, are available in the book so the reader is not only able to obtain emotional release if the need arises (as assuredly it will!) but is also able to gain a real insight into the mechanics of a truly creative and imaginative mind and in so doing improve his/her own creative and lateral thinking. This is a highly recommended book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puzzles that exercise the brain, November 2, 2004

By	B. M. Clegg (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This isn't just a recreational book of puzzles, although they are great just for fun. The aim according to the author is to 'improve your ability to "think outside the box" and boost your creativity.'

It's an attractive concept that has some validity. Just as we need to exercise our physical muscles to achieve more with them, we need to give our mental muscles workouts at problem solving and idea generation, and one way to do this is through using puzzles.

There's plenty in there, 317 in all, ranging from the relatively trivial to the absolutely stumping. One or two are frustrating because the logic is a little twisted or depends on what something sounds like (risky if English isn't your first language), but there's certainly a good mental workout.

Probably the bigges single lesson is to look at each problem you are faced with in a range of different ways. Don't take things at face value. Watch out for the assumptions. It's easy enough to chant this mantra, but much harder to do it in practice - that's where plenty of exercise comes in. Highly recommended.
