I havent done cryptograms since I was a kid and this was just as challenging as I remember. Challenging but still fun. This would be perfect for killing time while travelling or just to pass the time in general. The format of the digital made me feel like I was missing out on some thing but the gist of it was there. I could definitly see myself buying this for me or my family, especially before a flight or something. Would definitly recommend,
I voluntarly reviewed this after receiving a copy.
Cryptogram Evolution was such a fun puzzle book. The puzzles in it are not your typical cryptograms. Rather, as the title suggests, they are an evolved form of cryptograms.
There are 140 different puzzles that have varying points assigned to them. The points assignment is a great way to engage in some friendly competition with other puzzlers or against yourself in a timed atmosphere.
I liked that the puzzles reveal some interesting facts when they are deciphered. For example, The Double Tree In Italy was the solution for An Amazing Phenomenon. Entertainment and education at the same time!
For puzzle aficionados, Cryptogram Evolution is a must have to add to your puzzle library. Get your copy right away. I know I will. Five stars.
I received a digital copy of the book from BooksGoSocial through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
It was fun trying to figure out the Puzzle, plus it reminded me as to why I loved doing these in the first place . It would make a great gift for someone who loves doing this Puzzles
Pros: My coworkers and I love to start each morning with a few puzzles, including the newspaper's daily cryptograms. This book is a fun collection of puzzles that I would gift to them.
Cons: This isn't a con on the contents but more a note on book format--I did not love this book in an ebook form; it did not show up well on Kindle. I think it would be great as a paperback so the reader can work the puzzles on paper.
Thank you to NetGalley and Books Go Social for the opportunity to read this book and work these puzzles!
