3 comments about Los Angeles Times Sunday Crossword Omnibus, Vol. 3.
- A must-buy for those who want challenging, clever and sometimes witty crossword puzzles. I'd rate the degree of difficulty as being just below that of The Washington Post. Lots of Hollywood references make it a bit more fun for those who love old movies. I also appreciated the fact that every LA Times puzzle book I've worked to date contains actual words, not misspellings or created ones.
- I just finished Volume 5(200 puzzles)of the Los Angeles Times puzzle book and got hooked on the author's clues so I wanted more...... I am finding this book to be nearly everything that volume 5 was, except for the paper. This book was done on newsprint paper. I believe the author's had some feedback about this, as the follow-up books are all done in typing paper quality.
Never-the-less, the puzzles are highly enjoyable and the book is certainly worth working.
- Not as good as some I've had, but all in all pretty good. It has a lot of words I've never heard of, and that always gets me a little frustrated.
Some of the puzzles are very clever, however.

2 comments about Fantastic Lateral Thinking Puzzles.
- I find the puzzles by this author really tease the brain. I have the 2 other lateral thinking puzzle books by this author and I enjoy them. I hope to see more books of this type by this author.

This book is full of clever puzzles that test your brainpower and leave you wanting more. They all star with a very ordinary situation, and then things quickly turn tricky. Each puzzle is provided with hints and solutions.
This book is an excellent way to test and expand your problems solving ability.
This is an example of the type of puzzles you will find in this book:
Nick and Dave were just leaving work at an ambulance dispatcher station. "We're off tomorrow, right?" said Nick "Right", replied Dave. "What do you say we meet in the shopping center parking lot", suggested Nick. "Get in the car I just bought and head out to the lake?". "Let's do that" agreed Dave. Nick had just bought a used car, which he mentioned to Dave, but without describing it in any way. It had license plates tat were unfamiliar to Dave and were not new. It had not parking stickers or other identifying marks of any kind. Nevertheless, Dave identified it easily when he drove to the shopping center parking lot. How?
If you find the problem hiding behind this little story to be interesting, then this book is for you.

1 comments about Mensa Mind Teasers (Mensa).
- This is very disappointing puzzle book. The easy puzzles are, well, just that. The difficult puzzles are obtuse. This book lacks ingenuity, creativity, and diversity. The only redeeming quality is the cover artwork. For those MENSA's who doubt the review, I graduated at the top of my class with a dual major in computer science and mathematics.
