ReplyDeleteOut of all the Sunshine State Books I've ever read, this one was the most unique. The characters are SO FUNNY, both in what they say and do. I thought the treasure hunt was absolutely fantastic! It was what tied the entire book together. But my absolute favorite part was the puzzles. I love puzzles, solving them and making them. And the puzzles in this book were absolutely amazing. Some of them I got, but most of them I gave up on.
This book is now officially my new favorite book, and Eric Breen is now on my mental list of authors to remember. If he has written any other books, I'm certainly checking it out. "The Puzzling World of Winston Breen" definitely deserves to be a Sunshine State Book. I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed the book, but did not solve any puzzles at all. :(. Also, Caroline, you are like the best blogger ever!!! :) I respect you. May the blogs be with you.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading the book, "The Puzzling World of Winston Breen" by Eric Breen. It was fascinating to me that the main character really liked to challenge himself with puzzles and even thought of a puzzle while looking at a pizza pie of all things! I enjoy puzzles too, especially crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles. Anybody out there enjoy puzzles as well?

ReplyDeleteThis book is so intresting because usually you would think it is boring because it has puzzles, but it is not they twisted it up. Normally you would think yeah this happened to me I did a puzzle but probally not the way they twisted it. Why someone else should read is that it is intresting it is kinda like a mystery because it is like the type of book that the butler did it but you don't know. This book is one of my favorites like " The Middle of Somewhere". All the book rule!

ReplyDeleteThe riddle that I solved was ''What can you break by just saying your name?'' (Silence.) i like riddles. when the officer said all of a sudden, ''I am going have me some pizza.''

ReplyDeleteI thought that The Puzzling World of Winston Breen was a very good book. The book is about a boy named Winston Breen with his sister who get some puzzle pieces that lead him into a treasure hunt with a retiered cop, a librarian,2 dudes, and himself and his sister. I enjoyed all the puzzles in this book. This is a book for anyone that likes puzzles.
