Title: Mostly good
Product review: Not just a book of lateral thinking puzzles, some of these are more logical, which adds freshness and variety, since the 'find a rational explanation for a seemingly impossible situation' type-puzzles can get a bit repetitive after a while.There are some very clever puzzles in here, which frustrated me until I read the answer. There are also some fairly easy ones here too, mixed in with the others. Unfortunately, there are also quite a few bad puzzles. By bad, I mean that either there is more then one solution that works (a good lateral thinking puzzle should have one obviously best answer), or the answers are so convoluted that no one but the author could ever possibly guess them. These answers required the addition of a lot of new information, neither stated nor hinted at in the puzzle.Like Sloane's lateral thinking puzzle books, this is a good book for reading in groups, with one person knowing the answer, and leading the others along.
