This book is about people who can solve a Rubik's Cube puzzle in less time than it takes to read this sentence. It is the journey of the author talking to many people in the speed-Rubiks cube solving culture on advice on how to finally solve the puzzle in under 20 seconds. Personally, I didn't know that this was a thing but I guess this has been going on since the prime days of the Cube in the 80's.

Interesting to read for parts of the book that give a look into this culture, but at parts it gets really in depth and uses lingo that I don't understand having not memorized algorithms to solve the puzzle.

This seems like a good book to bundle with a Rubik's Cube (The book will give suggestions on where to get them) as a gift to a puzzle fanatic.
