REVIEWS
I warmly recommend this book.
When I read Lloyd King's book, Amazing Aha! Puzzles, I had the impression its one of the best puzzle books ever written. There are very few books involving lateral thinking - for sure, this one does. Lloyd, founder of the VINCI Society, has an incredibly high imagination and creativity.

Excellent puzzle book for any puzzle lover.
I've been buying puzzle books for over 25 years, and finally I feel I've spent good money with Lloyd King's AHA puzzle book. On days that I had a spare half hour in my day to just sit back, relax and enjoy ME time, I would pick this book to challenge my brain, flex it, and laugh along with it.

Highly Recommended.
This isn't just a recreational book of puzzles, although they are great just for fun. The aim according to the author is to improve your ability to think outside the box and boost your creativity. Its an attractive concept that has some validity. Just as we need to exercise our physical muscles to achieve more with them, we need to give our mental muscles workouts at problem solving and idea generation, and one way to do this is through using puzzles. There's plenty in there, 317 in all, ranging from the relatively trivial to the absolutely stumping. One or two are frustrating because the logic is a little twisted or depends on what something sounds like (risky if English isn't your first language), but there's certainly a good mental workout. Probably the biggest single lesson is to look at each problem you are faced with in a range of different ways. Don't take things at face value. Watch out for the assumptions. It's easy enough to chant this mantra, but much harder to do it in practice - that's where plenty of exercise comes in. Highly recommended.
