Simon Drew's sense of humor is an acquired taste; it may be a moot point whether it is worth acquiring, yet thousands of fans around the world have clearly already succumbed to its questionable attractions.

These converts will clearly appreciate this new and puzzling collection of nonsensical puzzles. This is a book to exasperate and annoy: the only way to solve the puzzle drawings is either to start with a warped mind or put yourself through such gymnastic mental contortions that your mind ends up warped and twisted as a result.

The existing Drew devotees should find no problem with this. To offset these mindblowing puzzles this compilation also includes a selection of Drew's other pointless pictures accompanied by truly agonising verse. Whether this is to mitigate the unfortunate side effects of the puzzles or whether the puzzles are there to distract you from the verse is not made clear.

    Yes, fun I suppose, particularly if one wants to feel dumb afterwards!!

    Simon Drew's great illustrations and sense of humour makes for an entertaining and most interesting and even more puzzling quiz.

    One begins thinking that the answers will simply flow ... not true, one has to work extremely hard to get some of them. And I must confess, many I did not get and with no answers available in the volume, one is left frustrated. At least it leads to more and more references to the book as an attempt to find answers continues.

    I did best, perhaps surprisingly on 'Spot the artist', five out of six but on others I failed miserably.

    In between the brain teasers are a collection of what the author calls 'pointless pictures', some of which give an indication of his thinking in the other puzzles ... but I still failed miserably.

    Fun picture puzzles with interesting, sly illustrations. Tree + mouse + cat + ears = 3 Musketeers. Fun!
