This review is from: 399 Games, Puzzles & Trivia Challenges Specially Designed to Keep Your Brain Young. (Paperback)
This is MY kind of puzzle/game/trivia book. The clues are clever, don’t rely on a vast knowledge of pop culture, and not overly taxing or long. It’s the kind of book you can pick-up and do a couple of games, then put down for a while. I only wish this had been available when my mother was still alive. It would have given us something we could do together where we could both have fun. I especially like that there is research that supports the different types of exercises your brain needs, and each game is coded to indicate the type of activity it supports. Makes me feel well-rounded. It’s also the kind of book that I think would make a great holiday gift, house-guest thank you, get-well gift, etc.

The exercises are essentially all long term memory puzzles. If your long term memory is pretty good, you will find this book too easy. The puzzles are pleasant, but require little thought. It is kind of like an easy Trivia game: you know the answer or you don’t, and most of them you probably know.

While the book is nicely designed it really is a light weight piece of work mostly quizzing you on pop culture. Kind of fun but if you want to really increase your mental powers this is not the book your looking for. This book is more like a primer for games like Trivial Pursuit.
