Nancy: Lo amé, trae muy buenos ejercicios. Lo único es que si no dominas el idioma (está en inglés) algunas actividades puede resultar difíciles, sin embargo esto es muy bueno para el vocabulario 😊

L. Schwarz: I love the Brain Games series because the variety of games is more interesting and a better workout for your brain...rather than a book with all the same type of puzzles like crosswords, word search or sudoku. Some of the puzzles are rather easy, and some can be rather tough, but I guess that really depends on the individual. I have found that some of the puzzles could use a better explanation or a more helpful starter clue. If the rules are vague, I just ask someone to look at the answer in the back of the book and clarify them for me. I also prefer these puzzle books over puzzle magazines because the paper is thick enough for all the erasing that you might need to do along the way, Hint: a good way to keep your memory fit is to keep trying to recall the items in the memory puzzles even after you finish them. Overall, I recommend the Brain Games series. Honestly, my brain feels less foggy from all the different challenges.

Saksham: Great book

Helen Jay: I like that it has a self assessment at the beginning of the book so you can do a before and after comparison of progress. It has a nice mix of brain games, and they are at a good beginning level in the start and mix in moderate difficulty (at least for me). I also like the combination of word, number and maze type games. I tend to enjoy word games best, but was pleasantly surprised the first sudoku puzzle was one I finished! I usually dislike sudoku a lot but was super proud of myself that I completed this one...it’s probably the first one I ever have. It gave me confidence to continue the book and I’ll probably take a shot at the next sudoku puzzle.

The book has a generous number of pages for the value, I like that the pages are square, it feels more manageable on my lap. It’s unlike the magazine type puzzle books at the store, those are quite floppy where this has a certain firmness due to the quality of the paper. The printing is clear and sharp and so far has been easy on the eyes.

I recommend this book for those who want to keep their brain challenged each day and for those who like a variety of different kinds of puzzles (or are willing to try in order...

Precise DisarrayPrecise Disarray: Grab a pencil (with an eraser)- I like sticking a mechanical pencil into the spiral for safe keeping. I keep a binder clip and a sticky note pad with this spiral bound book. I use the pencil so I can make adjustments as I work through a puzzle. I use the binder clip to hold my page and to keep the sticky note pad with the book. I use the sticky note pad for additional spot to work a problem, to take a note, or to use a sheet to bookmark some other page. Plan to get actively involved with this book. That being said,

This is a great book to have on hand to give your brain a workout.

It begins with an informative read on brain fitness, and how to protect and enhance it. It talks about the different ways to engage the brain and to stretch it and give it a good work out.

Next section provides a way to "assess your brain" which is a quick questionnaire to help you to figure out how your mind works before even beginning this puzzle book.

The remainder of book includes a whole host of challenges, from easy warm ups to more difficult activities. You will find Mazes, Cryptograms, Sudoku, Cross Word, Drawing, Word ladders, Search a Word, and others that I don't...

Elizabeth AllenElizabeth Allen: I bought this book with my husband’s account. There are already a lot of reviews so this will probably get lost in the mayhem, but I would like to share what I wish more book sellers would ‘show and tell’ about their puzzle books, such as pictures of random pages and how many of each puzzle type is in the book so you can make sure you do not end up with a ‘variety book’ filled with a hundred crosswords and only a handful of the more interesting ‘outside the box’ puzzles.

With my rough count, there are about 215 puzzles in the entire book, which is about 170 pages. There are about 7 memory puzzles, 12 crosswords, 13 cryptograms, 13 mazes, 13 sudoku puzzles, 14 mathematical puzzles, 18 word searches, and a vast selection of other interesting puzzles.

Overall, I think this is a wonderful book with a true assortment of fun puzzles that range from easier to harder as you go along. The spiral binding is a definite plus as you don’t have to worry about holding open the book or folding back the pages to keep it open. The book also has a clear and large font on big pages. I recommend this book to anyone who loves pencil and paper puzzles, especially fans who...
