Einstein Puzzles is a fun collection of puzzles (logic, scientific, mathematical) that will provide hours of excellent brain exercise.
This collection, I think, finds the sweet spot for such a book. The majority are neither so hard that you will consider giving up nor so easy you will lose interest. Some will no doubt stump you, but no one is perfect, just enjoy the learning experience. Many may take you a bit of time to figure out, which is what most logic puzzle fans want. And there will be some, not too many I believe, that will seem relatively easy to you, probably because the mental gymnastics required for those fall into your personal comfort zone.
I jumped around a bit to get a feel for the book and now I am going to use it in the way that I find most enjoyable. After reading a bit before bed I like to go to sleep with something for my mind to ponder while I fall asleep, and indeed while I am sleeping. For those nights when my reading material doesn't offer this, I can pick a puzzle, read it, begin considering it, then go to sleep. I may run into a few that will keep me up, but knowing I want my subconscious to consider it usually helps me to fall asleep even with something on my mind.
Recommended for those who enjoy puzzles that require more than just looking for the "trick" in them. And as a gift for such people.

I really enjoy brain puzzles, one of my favourite puzzle games is professor Layton, and this book doesn’t stand behind it, with around 140 plus puzzles to enjoy. To make the best of this book I advise you to have some paper and pencil around for some of the puzzles, it helps to make sense writing the clues down.
Each puzzle gives us a story (problem) and then we have a link for the solution (in a paperback you would have a page number linking you to the answer) but I must say in kindle format it is really well done, we have all the connections done, we can pass from the answer to a problem directly to the next problem in the book, and that makes reading way easier. Some problems you’ll only need to be ponder about them a bit, others will need for you to know a bit of other information, but most you don’t need to be a genius to know and most of the problems will be amazing to impress people in a gathering.
I have a couple of this kind of books in my kindle and I must say, this is probably the most well done of the bunch, I really recommend this puzzle book, or for yourself or as a gift for people who want to have a break from their usual reading. I really recommend this puzzle game book.
Thank you NetGalley and Arcturus Publishing for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.
