I enjoyed the book very much. It was a new way to expirience the mystery that is Lost.

All LOST fans know how intriguing, mystery filled, and puzzling the show is. We thought this game book would be the same. It's very lame and simplistic. I wouldn't recommend it.

I like the tv show Lost, and i like puzzles. So when i heard about this book, i thought i was a good idea. Seeing how there was no other books by the author, and its not sold anywhere else, reviews were hard to find. When i received the book it seems official enough. Nice shiny cover and all. But upon trying some of the puzzles, you soon realize it has little to do with the tv show. Each of its 200 pages contains a single puzzle. The puzzles them selves have somewhat lost themed answers, but they are just words with no meaning. The puzzles seem half cocked and don't all make much sense. There are 6 chapters each containing a different type of puzzle. These puzzles look like something found in a kids coloring book, or those flash cards the ESP psych doctors hold up. Each of the puzzles answers are on the next page, ruining the fun if you wish to skip ahead to a new puzzle before coming back to answer one that you are stuck on. The whole book feels like an overpriced shiny crossword or sudoku book. I feel like a sucker for buying it based on the title and cover art, before reading reviews or seeing the contents of the pages.

This book was a huge disapointment to me. Not much to say really, I disliked pretty much most of the stuff I had to solve in there. It has very little, or no reference to LOST. At all.

In a fortuitous coincidence, when the great powers of the world decided to embrace madness over reason, war over peace, and to send their great weapons against one another, I found myself deep underground in an almost completed government research facility.
I was only supposed to be there to make a delivery of equipment, but once I felt the ground began to shake as the great disaster unfolded on the surface, I knew I would find myself alone in that cavernous tomb for quite some time to come. The lab wasn't supposed to fully staffed for at least three more months and the first crews weren't going to report the until the next week. I was just the delivery guy.
As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into years, I began to explore my surroundings. I found a vast array of scientific equipment, banks of computers, and volumes upon volumes on every scientific theory from electromagnetism to astrophysics.
Also, in a different room I stumbled upon a well worn and dog eared copy of this volume, LOST Mind Games. I used the quizzes and games to keep my sanity as I spent the ensuing decades studying and learning all that was written in the other tomes.
I began with math, and then to physics, and from there into relativity. It was at this point that I was able to develop a solution to the Grand Unified Theory of Everything.
If you are reading this message, then I was successful in trying to send two messages back across the barriers of space and time. The first was to the leaders of the great nations of the word, telling them of what would happen should they continue down their warlike ways. The other was much further back, to the early twenty first century, a review of the wonderful book which kept my sanity through the many decades.
Thank you Anne Dawson. If you are seeing this, then your book may very well have saved the world.

I bought this book as a gift for my LOST fanatic husband's birthday. He loves solving puzzles and mind games, so the very creative ones in this book were perfect for him. He took the book to work to share with his fellow IT workers and discovered that the ones who hadn't religiously watched the show found the puzzles almost incomprehensible though, so I wouldn't buy it for just anyone.

I recently got my book and am impressed with how it looks and its contents. I think any fan of LOST will find the puzzles and brain teasers alot of fun and entertaining. The book is full of mind games and I especially like that the puzzle answers are available because I have to know if I guessed right or wrong! I can't wait to get back to the book and work on more of the word games and puzzles. I am surprised so far with how much I recall from the episodes I've have watched. The book will make a great gift idea too.

I am addicted to the TV show LOST and now I am addicted to this book. I can't put it down. This book makes you realize how much you know about the LOST characters, episodes and themes and it's a really fun way to use your LOST knowledge. You can go back to it over and over again and you will be challenged, surprised and entertained by the hundreds of mind games in this book. It would be a great gift for any LOST fan.
