As
a child, I loved puzzles of all kinds just as I do now, and
remember being fascinated by mazes. They don’t feature
much in adult puzzle books, which is a pity, and for some
time now I have yearned for some more grown-up versions to
get my puzzling teeth into. Now Michael O’Mara has risen
to the challenge and produced a book of them in their superlative
large format puzzle and coloring series.
I love this series, and will have to treat myself to the first
in their maze sequence Extreme Mazes. The title under review
here is the sequel and ought to provide hours of puzzling
fun. Like all the books in this series, it is 14½“
x 10½“ with bright white paper of good quality;
the mazes are printed on one side of the page and do not vanish
into the margin. Lines are black and visible of varying widths
with not a pixel in sight, and there are thirty different
mazes to work through of various types. Some have bridges,
others are on several “floors” while some are
described as “warp” with letters leading to multiple
answers. We have clearly come a long way from children’s
holiday special comics with their modest labyrinths, and good
sight plus a good light are required. The answers are printed
at the back, and I hope this will not be the last of this
series. Very highly recommended to all puzzle fans.
