My two teens (16 and 19) went nuts for this book when they saw it at their cousin's house over the holiday weekend. They have been bugging me for three days to buy it for them. I took the earlier reviewers advice and bought one for each of them. I may be back to buy one for my husband. I have a feeling he may want his own copy once he gets his hands on it.
A great way to pass the time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
In a fortuitous coincidence, when the great powers of the world decided to embrace madness over reason, war over peace, and to send their great weapons against one another, I found myself deep underground in an almost completed government research facility. I was only supposed to be there to make a delivery of equipment, but once I felt the ground began to shake as the great disaster unfolded on the surface, I knew I would find myself alone in that cavernous tomb for quite some time to come. The lab wasn't supposed to fully staffed for at least three more months and the first crews weren't going to report the until the next week. I was just the delivery guy. As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into years, I began to explore my surroundings. I found a vast array of scientific equipment, banks of computers, and volumes upon volumes on every scientific theory from electromagnetism to astrophysics. Also, in a different room I stumbled upon a well worn and dog eared copy of this volume, LOST Mind Games. I used the quizzes and games to keep my sanity as I spent the ensuing decades studying and learning all that was written in the other tomes. I began with math, and then to physics, and from there into relativity. It was at this point that I was able to develop a solution to the Grand Unified Theory of Everything. If you are reading this message, then I was successful in trying to send two messages back across the barriers of space and time. The first was to the leaders of the great nations of the word, telling them of what would happen should they continue down their warlike ways. The other was much further back, to the early twenty first century, a review of the wonderful book which kept my sanity through the many decades. Thank you Anne Dawson. If you are seeing this, then your book may very well have saved the world.
Great Family Book

Our family loves this book. I got a copy to keep in the car to give our teenagers something to do on car trips. They are both big Lost fans and they love working on the book (I probably should have gotten a second copy). The kids are actually working together on some of the puzzles instead of fighting in my back seat. I have gotten myself hooked on the book because I started doing the puzzles while I am waiting to pick the kids up from soccer and horseback riding.
LOST fans will love this book

I am addicted to the TV show LOST and now I am addicted to this book. I can't put it down. This book makes you realize how much you know about the LOST characters, episodes and themes and it's a really fun way to use your LOST knowledge. You can go back to it over and over again and you will be challenged, surprised and entertained by the hundreds of mind games in this book. It would be a great gift for any LOST fan.
