4.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating, if not exactly stupefying, puzzle, Jun 30 2000
By 
Matthew W. Grieco (Hoboken, NJ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Egyptian Jukebox (Hardcover)
If you enjoy puzzles which carefully interweave illustration and prose, this is a good pick. The puzzle is challenging enough not to be boring, but it's not mind-numbingly hard like some others (notably Christopher Manson's "Maze," the only book of this genre I've liked better than this one). The illustrations are beautiful, and the aura of enigma created by the puzzle enticing. The only drawback I would cite is that once you make a certain intuitive leap in the puzzle's trickery, a bit of busy work lies before you to finish. But reaching that leap is reward enough. A good pick, if you can track it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book Never Read, Jan 21 2000
By 
Susan (Kirkland, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Egyptian Jukebox (Hardcover)
I have never read this book by Nick Bantock, and simply trust that it is as mysteriously marvelous as all his others. I wish it would be republished! And I don't care if the puzzle is solved! I want to see more of this talented man's work, he gives great hours of pleasure to many people by awakening wonders often not sensed since childhood!

By A Customer
This review is from: Egyptian Jukebox (Hardcover)
I'm stuck, discouraged, feel like a dope that I don't seem to "get" this puzzle. But I've got it on loan from the library for the rest of the month, and am willing to keep at it.

Once you step into the world of Hamilton Hasp, you will search until you find him. You become obsessed; but it's fun when you involve family and friends.
