What Is the Name of This Book?: The Riddle of Dracula and Other Logical Puzzles
WhidbeyIslander avatar reviewed on + 708 more book reviews


This is what I would call a Good Ferry book. Before I retired a ferry trip was part of my commute, and this would have been perfect -- a book you can pick up and peruse at any point that lets you forget your commuting. It's chocked full of nearly 300 logic puzzles, ranging from clever to tiresome (many on the theme of the lying whitefoot and truthful blackfoot, which become mind-numbing.) Also includes a few logic puns and jokes, as well as some old favorites like "which side of the border do you bury plane crash survivors?" Author has a sense of humor about the whole subject. Oh, and the title is a little misleading in that it really has nothing to do with books in general.
