The Mammoth Book of Mindbending Puzzles (The Mammoth Book Series)
by Victor Serebriakoff

Here is a very large collection of troublesome, tricky, tantalising & tortuous puzzles to mount one tough challenge for your grey cells.

On each one, you are timed & awarded points for performance. To begin with, you are asked to complete a self-marked IQ test which is used to handicap for intelligence. Then, you are ready to tackle the puzzles a chapter at a time. Some are relatively simple, some will require lateral thinking, & on some, you will have to look out for surprises.

Are you fit, are you ready, can you take up the ultimate IQ challenge?

Frankly, I did not complete the series, which consists of 350 brilliant & original puzzles from the world's top MENSA puzzlemeister, but over the years I have always enjoyed 'playing' with the puzzles. I often use them as mental exercises during some weekends to loosen up my mind, especially after a hard week's work.

This collection is also one of my favourites. I have also owned it since the mid-nineties.

3 out of 5 stars Hmm... Good........2000-02-02

The best thing about this book is the number of puzzles is large enough to last a long time. It's good value for money. Good timepass (tp) when one has spare time.

                  Book Description

                  A book about identity, about journeys, about transitions and boundaries-most especially those between life and death-and about contemporary adventures that suddenly assume mythic proportions. Accept Clive Sinclair's invitation, and you will embark upon an expedition led by none other than Odysseus, still desperately seeking Penelope. You will cross paths with the Lone Ranger, with Wyatt Earp, the most famous lawman of them all, and his voluptuous wife-whose portrait on the front cover (which just so happens to be the double of a missing spouse) may or may not be a true likeness.

                  4 out of 5 stars High Stakes Infidelities.......2000-04-08

                  This is an excellent read that manages to incorporate religion, politics, and love in an interesting blend. Jonas, the protagonist, is a victim not only of chance, but also of his own poor judgment. He cheats on his wife, is the center of a political firestorm in Israel, and discovers he is also a cuckold. Cosmetic Effects is funny and a fast read.
