Teaches you how to think logically... May 5, 2002
18 out of 18 found this review helpful

Building Left-Brain Power is somewhat of a bittersweet book because of it's inconsistency throughout the entire book. The brbook begins with "easy" logic puzzles such as unscrambling wordsbrand such and ends with the hardest logic puzzles which are brcode-breakers. pThe book provides a preface at the beginning of most chaptersbrto give you help in trying to find a logical way of thinking to brtackle a particular problem. This quality I found to be uniquebrand very valuable as opposed to most books with logic puzzles brjust poured in there and leave you frustrated because you can'tbrfigure them out. pHere's what's horrible about this book though. There are type-o'sbrin the answer keys (which I was amazed at how terribly obviousbrthey were considering they were not caught before publication). I only spotted two obvious ones though. pThe other thing that drove me nuts was that there was no logic brwhatsoever to explaining how they arrived at some of their branswers. Many times, I gave other people the problem to look atbrWITH the answer that I had looked up and asked them to figure brout how they came up with that answer...no one knew. Was it branother type-o? No clue. pThis book has some great qualities, and some terrible qualitiesbrwhich I thought averaged it out to a 2.5 star book, however, I brrounded up because of the very inexpensive price.

I am currently using the book Building Left-Brain Power in my homeschooling activities, and was planning to complete one chapter per week with my 10-year-old daughter Jasmine, but she loves this book too much to put it down! We started on Monday and have already finished 2 chapters. I'm really looking forward to the number exercises. I love math, and can see that all three of my kids will do really well if we continue using the same type of challenging exercises together in school.p~kira br homeschooler mother of 3
