This book tries to be more clever than it really is - I was hoping for a breezy book on how to think alternatively, and got something that at times is too easy, at other times, needs complex math.

The examples are cute, but can be rather annoying. This book is also over written, spending more words than necessary on explaining simple concepts.

Recommended? Not really. There are probably better books out there on this subject. ( )

I am amazed that other people actually own this book, I thought for some reason that the copy my father bought in college and then gave to me when I left home was the only instance of it in the world. Funny what you think without knowing it.

This is a book of mind puzzles unlike any you have ever seen before. I double dog dare you to actually solve one of these. Seriously. I think in all the time I've had it, I've solved only one of them with out looking at the solution.

What is great about this book is not the sense of satifaction you get from solving the brain-teaser (although if you, by chance, happen to solve one your self you deserve a prize or something.)

No, the great part about this book is the truly amazing insights that it takes to solve them, and you should be impressed.

I give this book five stars for being unique, giving me challenging puzzles to wrap my brain around, and stimulating my thinking.
Also my dad is pretty awesome. ( )
