It's more of a mind game, it can be really fun if you're able to do it.
I am one of the rare people who can not see the 3D images, but my husband & daughter tell me that what they see it really neat. lol
I could not see much in the pictures myself, but I have friends and family that saw ALOT! I think it is still a really cool book although not one of my favorites!
Another fun Magic Eye book. I find that these collections are fun and the illusions are also pretty. I think that the hard back verisons are easier to find the picture.
