Customer Reviews
It was wacky, yet it kept your brain working!
I thought the book was entertaining, and kept my mind thinking for hours at a time. This book is a great boredom buster!
It was a challenging book that kept me entertained!
It was very challenging, and it had wonderful mind-boggling puzzles that kept me working for hours and hours!
It was an okay book
I'd give this three and a half, but Amazon doesn't offer that. It was funny and weird, but I wanted more story and less math problems (I don't really like math). All in all, it was okay. Try it if you like math and wacky problems, but otherwise don't bother.
