Just What I Wanted
I liked everything. The cover, the format, layout, solutions and actual problems.

Indigestion
Very challenging and enjoyable. Could have been a lot better if more details were provided in the solutions. Some have minimal explanation making it harder to understand. It could have been more complete and instructive as a learning experience.

Great book, but the digital version needs work
I love the problems in the book. I think anyone of any age can enjoy these puzzles and learn or review geometry. There is a problem with the digital edition replacing a leading "Th" in a sentence with a degree symbol; it's annoying but you can get by.I would have given it 5 stars but for the fact that they did not mention some of the theorems required for proofs and calculations. It would be nice to know for instance which Proposition from Euclid's work would be required in order to prove your answer. Secondly, there is at least one problem (#29) that shows a diagram where they leave out a required piece of information. The diagram shows something that looks like a 90 degree angle and if you assume that to be the case you will get the answer, but you can show that that solution is not the only one if the larger angle for the isoceles triangles in the diagram were not 90 degrees.

Loved the puzzles
Hard enough and intriguing enough to be called puzzles (instead of problems). None were too easy. Plenty were not too hard. I'm looking for puzzles that will be inviting for my students, and some definitely seemed too hard at first glance. That's fine, we need something to build up to. I bought the e-book, and was able to immediately find some good problems for my students. Thanks!

Great short book of easy to understand but hard to solve geometry puzzles.The 8-18 ages is not accurate. This book is fine for adults

Awful Kindle formatting
Whoever did the kindle version needs to redo it, and free of charge.The content is good, the formatting for Kindle is beyond disgraceful.
