This one's an old favourite, that I feel fortunate enough to have found in my mum's house when I was back home. I was probably in my teens when I got it, actually, but it's definitely aimed at younger people than that. But I'm now in my 30s and it's still enjoyable and confusing. It's easy to get stuck on a wild goose chase as you try to navigate the mazes. Since all the pages are interconnected, it's very easy to get lost - I mentioned in a review of another maze book that they became samey and easy to brute-force or backtrack when you can see the whole thing at once.

It's been at least ten years since I last read it, so the puzzles were mostly fresh for me this time. I could remember bits and pieces, but usually after I'd made the same mistake again.

Great illustrations, too. It's just a shame that it was never made into a series. I'd have bought other "A-Mazing Journeys" books if they'd ever made them!… (más)
