Mindbending?

2008-06-05
I was pretty disappointed with this book. I haven't found a single puzzle in it that would be anywhere close to "mind bending". I personally love doing this type of puzzle, and purchased several different books of this variety, and this one was definitely my least favorite. I finally got tired of the monotony of these too easy puzzles, and gave the book to my 9-year-old. She's not having any trouble solving them either.

Not very challenging

I truly enjoy Kathy Weaver's creativity, but I'm making the same complaint I made with the last book. Most of the puzzles are too easy! She has a tendency toward symmetry which almost gives away the puzzle.

I would think it would be a wonderful book for beginners, though! If you've never tried Hanjie and you're thinking about it, give this book a shot. Good quality paper is combined with reasonable sized grids and the final results are the puzzles are usually fun! Also, if you're looking for a book to carry in your purse to fill in time while waiting at the dentist's office, this is the way to go.

Very entertaining and absorbing. Great stress reliever and gets the brain really working. A wonderful way to "get away". You feel like you have really accomplished something when you solve the puzzle. Hours and hours of great entertainment.

Great Large Print

As a reader of large-print books, I adore Kathy Weaver's puzzles. I never have to dig out my magnifying glass. And the pages of this book do not fall out the way her other book did.

Too Easy

I am interested in books for advanced solvers. I am not well, and books like this help me pass the time when I am confined to my house.

Love it

Popular, challenging, and Fun for teens and adults. Utah State Textbook Commission has placed this book on its list as "Recommended Student Resource" for Mathematics / Pre-Algebra grade levels 7-12 for its emphasis on indirect reasoning skills. Test your logic and problem solving skills in geometric puzzles that create a work of art.

Not Mindbending

2007-03-08
This was an okay book, but more aimed toward the beginner or kids. I started doing the puzzles about half way through the book hoping to get into some harder ones. That never happened. Even the ones at the very end of the book were pretty easy. Nothing remotely close to mindbending.

THE Best of This Type of Puzzle

2007-01-16
I love art puzzles--perhaps even addicted to them--and have bought almost every book I could get a hold of here in Australia over the past two years. Of them all, I have found that Kathy Weaver's are the best. She has a knack for making them just hard enough to be fun and challenging, but also has figures that give enough information to make the puzzle solvable just from the clues given (not the case for many "line drawing" figures of other authors!) Weaver's first book of art puzzles was so good that I bought the book again and redid them all. This new book, so far, seems to be the same top quality.
