Great Book for my daughter
I bought this for my daughter and she has been enjoying it. She loves the variety and the thought that went into creating this book.

Fun for tweens, too.
Why is it “for teens”? My 11 y/o loves it.

Good Selection
This book has a good selection of puzzles. Some are harder than others but nothing has been overwhelmingly difficult. Nice size pages and easy to read. Flex your brain with this book.

A wide variety and large range of difficulty levels
I picked this up for my high school, homeschooled teen to aid in logical thinking (not as a class but on the side). This has ten types of puzzles: Logic grids, analogies, crosswords, anagrams, cryptograms, nonograms, sudoku, calcudoku, masyu, and kakuro. These are broken down into sections (chapters), each with ten puzzles. They start with easy ones, increasing in difficulty with each one.When I first opened the book, I was surprised at how 'easy' they start and wondered if it would work well, but my teen enjoyed the easy begin and was quickly drawn in. Plus, it helped her to understand how some of the puzzles worked before diving in with more difficulty. There are instructions at the beginning of each chapter, which do make it clear as well. The answers are at the back of the book.Even though I wasn't sure this would be my teen's thing (she wasn't a puzzle person before), she quickly was working on this non-stop. Only the analogies weren't what I'd hoped as these, at times, hit things she couldn't know, such as ''cinco: five :: huit : (answer here)" and others. But we shoved this off as a learning opportunity, instead.This book did what I hoped it would and was entertaining for my teen, too.

Recommend
I purchased this book to help my newly turned teen daughter learn logic and think logically. We received the item yesterday (arrived several days late due to courier delays). Despite the fact that the front cover of the book was taped to the box I was able to carefully remove it without tearing the book. I gave it to my girls to take a look and both of them immediately took to it. I also have a younger 8 year old who surprisingly got into it enthusiastically with her older sister. It was great to see the both them work on the puzzles and talk out the problems to try and figure out the solution. It's still too soon to tell how helpful it is from a learning logic perspective but the bonding and enthusiasm from the girls has made it worth it so far. The puzzles does require careful reading and paying attention to details, makes them slow down and examine the information they are given. I can see and hear their sense of accomplishment when they have successfully solved a puzzle. I would recommend this book.

Great for passing time but many errors
This was fun to pass the time and get my brain going. However it was really disappointing to see all the mistakes in the puzzles. For that reason you're not actually getting 100 problems because some of them are unsolvable.
