This is a fun little book and small enough to be carried with you on a trip. I'm one of those people who goes stir crazy if forced to sit doing nothing for any period of time. I carry crossword puzzles, word searches and magazines on planes. I have highlighted many of the activities in this book in anticipation of a very long trip, 17 hours. My friend and I will cast ourselves, along with other passengers in a soap opera, they will not know about it! I'm going to start a novel, write poetry (with no skills!), figure out what I'd buy if I won the lottery, create a new identity, do any of the games in the book and so on. If you are a creative type of person. I think you'll enjoy this book. Also, if you have children, there are many activities which would help them while away the time.
