Puzzle Master Terry Stickels has accomplished two very important things with his new book of mindstretching exercises.
1. He has created an entertaining and challenging collection of brain teasers that everyone will enjoy; and
2. He has collaborated with the book's sponsor, the Alzheimer's Association, to present a series of mental gymnastics designed specifically to stimulate the minds of older readers to help them keep their thinking skills agile and young. What a great accomplishment that is!
Thank you, Terry, for all the good work you do.

This is a great book. I bought it for my 84 year grandmother and she actually saw some improvements in her short term memory after completing all the worksheets.

Challenging puzzles that allowed me to use parts of my brain that I don't very often in my job. Very enjoyable.

"The BIG Brain Puzzle Book", by Terry Stickels, is a puzzlers' delight. It has three levels of difficulty with seven different types of puzzles. The types are; creative thinking (thinking outside the box), mathematics (computational skills), logic (analysis and deduction), language (definitions, usage, and sentence structure), visual (observation, spatial reasoning and pattern recognition), wordplay (word and letter manipulation), and knowledge (book smarts and memory).
The book's cover says "over 200 puzzles that make you think," and that it does! Also, the book comes with the answers and many of the answers have brief explanations, so you can understand how to solve them. This really comes in handy when you go to level 2. I am not a big puzzler, with cryptograms being my favorite, but some of these I have not seen before. Others were new takes on old style puzzles.
"BIG brain" is an enjoyable, thought provoking, and mentally exercising book. Lots of these puzzles took time for me and that was only Level 1. This book is sponsored by the Alzheimer's association and includes the ten signs to be aware of and where to get more information. This was a most enjoyable way to spend time exercising the mental muscles.

I bought this book because I thought it would help my husband, but his AZ was too advanced for this book. However, I gave it to someone else and they said it's really helping her mother. We are trying everything we can get our hands on to help extend the memory. The doctors said it won't work--I have found with excercise [walking] and any brain stimulation does work. After all, the only way to accurately diagnose AZ is an autopsy. Therefore, I am going to keep trying.
