Title: Too Much Of A Good Thing
Review: The original Rubik's 3X3 Cube was a huge hit at my house, so I was really excited to purchase this Rubik's 5X5 Cube, and was even willing to pay a price that was almost triple the cost of the Rubik's 3X3 Cube. What I'd hoped to get, what I'd PLANNED to get, was a fun educational toy which my math-whiz son would love. But what I got instead, unfortunately, was simply too much of a good thing.Beyond the increased difficulty of the Rubik's 5X5 Cube, which of course is a given, the extra squares make the toy harder to manipulate and simply more fragile to work with, especially for adults with large hands or kids without patience or an understanding of delicacy.I will say, though, that the Rubik's 5X5 Cube looks interesting sitting on my son's bedroom shelf. But in my opinion, it would look better, and even more interesting, in my son's HANDS -- the only place this toy's true educational potential will ever be realized.
