Review: Easy and fun addition to study materials - Honestly pretty great!! Lot of books tell you how to do exactly the formulas you need to solve certain problems, but very few books. Tell you easy ways to think about the math involved. Reading this to learn easy ways to think about the math, makes it easier to practically skip steps and save time. This was honestly hugely beneficial to me when studying for the GRE.
Review: Great for a teen who needs more challenge - I love this book, and my 13yr old son loves it. He is far ahead of his class in math, and I've always been frustrated, trying to challenge him and meet his love for math without pushing him even further ahead and causing more boredom in class. This book is perfect. It is highly challenging, but in a way that is far different from what is taught in school. Lots of fun number tricks, like how to quickly compute the square of any 2-digit number in your head. My son has been into magic, and the author compares math to magic, which is really inviting and accessible. With that said, my son is really excited by it, but I was lost after a few chapters. It goes very deeply into mathematical ideas, and is only for those who truly enjoy this. FYI, the other great outlet we found for him was this book of 3D Sodoku puzzles: 3D Sudoku

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engaging and fun, with mind blowing examples.

I am teaching 4th graders, who are aspiring Mental Math Magicians. The examples in this book go more in depth than "Mental Math", covering content nicely. The students are working on their 25 x 25 multiplication and division tables, and will love this. I just purchased a second, hardcover copy, to have on hand as a back-up for my Kindle. I only do this with the books that deserve the permanent status of a resource to keep on hand.
