Mindbending?
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.

More Art Puzzles By Number: From Easy to Mind Bending
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

Good Teacher Resource
I am a Middle School math teacher(5th - Algebra)who likes to inject a little humor into class.I was able to use some of the skills sheets in this book tied to what I was teaching in 6th grade the day after I received the book.The students were engaged with the activities, particularly with trying to find the answer to the riddle.The worksheets will be good for review, for homework, or for quizzes as a means of on-going assessment. ...
