This book is an interesting read - once but is full of math puzzles that are beyond me why someone would find them fun. Challenging yes and the historical anecdotes are interesting, maybe if you are a math historian (does such a person exist?) the ancient puzzles of China, Greece and Egypt might be your cup of tea. I would find puzzles like this more a chore or an assignment ffrom school.
