Customer Reviews

top notch puzzle book

Great puzzle book! - full of reworked classics, but with plenty of new twists and ideas - though you'll need to get plenty of paper and a pair of scissors to work many of the puzzles. Let's hope for more puzzles from Serhiy!

Brand New Puzzle Book

I'm really happy that all over the world anybody can find something so fresh and great for himself brain growth. It's realy magic how one book can show you so much brandnew ideas...And it's only beginning.

Not Your TYpical Puzzle Book

If you're an afficianado of visual/logicial puzzles, you've probably shared my experience when browsing through so-called new puzzle books at your local bookstore-they all recycle the same old familiar chestnuts! There are a few places to find original puzzles-Games Magazine, the World Puzzle Championships, Scott Kim, Cliff Johnson, Think Fun-but not many. Happily, Grabarchuk's new book is a welcome departure from the norm. His puzzles are original and first rate, in a league far above your typical Mensa puzzle book. Highly recommended.
