5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Tricky, 16 Mar 2004
By Jan Merolant (Tilburg, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
Lloyd King surely belongs to one of the great innovative puzzle designers of this time. His puzzles are so imaginative and unusually tricky. It is a joy to try them. When you fail to see the intended answer, you get an even greater thrill when his clever answers are revealed. This book will give you many hours of amusement, and is definitely a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puzzle Art, 22 Oct 2003
By Mr B. R. CLARKE - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Go to any bookstore, take a puzzle book from the shelf, and browse through the pages. Of all the puzzles in the book you see in front of you, how many of them are derivatives of previously published material? The answer's simple - most of them. Blandness and repetition can be found on bookshelves in abundance. In contrast, Mr King's work is full of originality and this fact alone deserves celebration. He has done more than most to develop the closed lateral puzzle, the form where all necessary information is given. Their difficulty often lies in there being only a single clue, sometimes only in the title, and this is bound to stretch one's powers of perception and interpretation. If, as a result, the solution is beyond your reach, don't feel cheated or defeated. Just look in the back of the book and try to see it as a work of art - because quite a lot of it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind Enhancing Entertainment! , 28 Aug 2006
By Dianekmt (Queensland, Australia) - See all my reviews
`Test Your Creative Thinking' is a book of challenging, lateral thinking puzzles. And you don't need to belong to an elite club, have obscure, specialist knowledge, or be old enough to have accumulated years of trivial information, in order to solve them.

If you enjoy puzzles, but are sick of boring logic and I.Q. puzzles, then this is the book for you!

For those unfamiliar with the concept of lateral thinking, 'Test Your Creative Thinking' is the ideal instruction manual. Attempting these puzzles will actually encourage you to think laterally, that is with creativity and imagination, as well as with logic.

To solve Lloyd King's puzzles you need to engage your imagination and reason in new ways, exercising your lateral thinking skills.

Even if you find some of the puzzles too difficult, and give up in frustration, peeking at an answer will inspire you to think more creatively in the future.

Reading this book provides a true learning experience. Not only that, 'Test Your Creative Thinking' is very entertaining. The puzzles have 'attitude', some of them are really quite cheeky, and the solutions will have you smiling, at the very least.

The puzzles are more suited to older children and adults, though young children appreciate the humour, and can benefit from being shown the puzzles together with their solutions.

'Test Your Creative Thinking' is the type of book that people like to share with friends. But be warned, if you lend this book to anyone, it will be passed around, and you may never see it again.

...Better to be on the safe side and buy two of them!!!

Instead of testing my creative thinking, I ended up testing my nerves. Creative thinking is one thing. Arbitrary logic is quite another. Read more
