Pierre BerloquinCritiques

** I received a copy of this book for free through a Goodreads giveaway. **

An enjoyable story/puzzle book with plenty of interesting and distinctly different types of puzzles to challenge your solving skills. Fun for anyone who enjoys puzzle-solving and/or Sherlock Holmes stories. Many of the puzzles were fairly simple but there were enough that were difficult to keep my interest (and to challenge me once or twice!). One thing I did notice is that while there is only supposed to be one typo/mistake per chapter (identifying these leads to the solution of the final puzzle), I noticed three typos in the first chapter. I had to check the solution in the back of the book to determine which of those three I was supposed to use which was very annoying. (The two non-solution typos were a T instead of an L in the word LION on page 13 and a L instead of an I in the word HISS on page 15. There may have been more extra typos but I haven't finished all of the puzzles yet so I can't say for certain!)

Un libro que reúne juegos, magia y otras formas de entretenimiento.

Having only paged through and attempted a few of the brain teasers I can safely say that the author has chosen some truly mind-boggling exercises. There are also some that are a bit easier for the novice or the easily intimidated. Given the attention being paid to the deterioration of our mental facilities in today's press, puzzles and mind -benders are a simple and effective way to give ourselves a mental workout on a regular basis. The book is user-friendly with large illustrations and type-setting and organized for a day by day program. I would recommend this book.
