Meh- not the greatest puzzle.

My daughter (2 1/2) has several of the Melissa and Doug puzzles and this is the one that is played with the least. The pieces are much more flimsy than most of the puzzles we have by this company, which are usually sturdy and well-made.

It also seems like she is kind of bored with this puzzle. I'm always the one to pull it out (I was hoping it would help her start to associate the number shapes with the names/concepts of the numbers, but it really hasn't worked well for that). We'll usually put it together one time (and she'll initially play along and be interested), but then she wants to move on to something else. She's probably only played with it 5-6 times since we got it 4 months ago.

I was looking more for crossword puzzles, there are very few of those in here. It's fine if you're looking for other kinds of puzzles.

Enjoyed doing the puzzle, however, Ceaco puzzles aren't high quality.  The pieces are thin and I used a glue stick on more than a few pieces to secure the layers of paper.

Really unimpressed with this puzzle.  It was for my 5 year old, so he didn't care too much.  I guess you get what you pay for!

Pieces don't fit easily together.  Requires some effort.  But sections of puzzle can be done in chunks which makes it more fun than a piece a two at a time.

This is one of my least favorite Hanayama cast puzzles.  Since you can't see what's going on inside you just randomly twist it until it comes apart. It is also difficult to put back together.

I'm an occasional puzzler, so you're not getting an expert opinion here. This was a pretty fun puzzle, moderately challenging because of the relatively narrow color palette and unusual shape. Overall, I'd recommend it for a horse fancier who likes puzzles.

But generally speaking, the quality isn't great, especially if you usually do Ravensburger or Springbock puzzles. For one, there were dozens of connected pieces, most of them still physically connected by paper that wasn't cut through. Second, the photo quality was quite low, like it had been enlarged way past its appropriate dpi, which was pretty surprising, considering how ubiquitous and cheap hd cameras are these days. I could easily print a very crisp, hd photo of the same size off my iphone, for instance. This made the puzzle a bit harder, because texture was very blurry or pixelated (or more accurately, pixelated AND blurred to smooth the low definition), but it also made for a less beautiful finished product.

This would have been an amazing puzzle even with the so-so cuts if it had used a high-res picture.

This book only has a handfull of good puzzles. Not surprisingly the best are about cars, that's what I expected from this book.
What I don't like are the "filler" problems in the classic logic&math genre; seen too many of those around in countless puzzle books. The hokey photos and silly puns just don't make up for the lack of originality of the puzzles -sorry fellas.
I hope the next book of cartalk puzzles will have more original puzzles.

okay, not really difficult, large pages and type, no variations, just standard puzzles

This puzzle is not of the quality of would expect of Melissa and Doug - the pieces are a bit flimsy and there a few large pieces that you can tell were meant to be two separate ones, but were not cut properly.  Aside from the that, it was much more difficult for my son than I thought it would be.  He's under 8 (the recommended age for the puzzle), but he loves puzzles and is quite good at them.  Therefore, I knew it would be a challenge, but the colors are very subtle and it's hard to distinguish among them (the puzzle we received is much darker looking than the one pictured on Amazon).

I absolutely loveeee puzzles. Except this puzzle just didn't cut it for me. The pieces were really interesting, but it wasn't really a challenge. I finished half of it within 3 hours, and didn't feel motivated to do the rest. However it is a really pretty design. I just don't think the puzzle pieces were that great. However I do give it credit because it is shaped like a fan.

Puzzle was challenging enough, but the portrait puzzle does not exactly resemble that of the real painting. Too little dark space.

It's a puzzle so I'll keep the review simple. This was my first Andrews + Blaine puzzle.
Pros: Quality Print, Fun Picture and Good Size Pieces
Ehhs: Semi-decent Cardboard Backing
Cons: Not Traditional Puzzle Shapes... I mean not even standard in the puzzle. They are unique - I give you that - but not something I enjoyed.

A thoughtful friend who shares my love of Broadway musicals gave me this puzzle as a gift. Challenging to assemble (lots of "Playbill" and all-white edges), but fun. There are lots of shows represented, both oldies and newer musicals. Big enough to frame and hang with your posters or actual Playbills.

However, the quality of the puzzle is simply not up to the standard I get with my usual brand (White Mountain). Pieces were not cut sharply, and don't fit together snugly. Several times I had to really look hard at the pattern to determine whether two pieces fit together. Tons of puzzle dust, too, even though I thought I dumped most of it out with the initial sort. These pieces are thin, and some are very small---notice in the picture I am showing a piece that barely covers the tip of my finger!

I sorted out all the white edges and "Playbill" lettering from the box, then worked the musical posters together and lined them up. I added in all the connecting Playbill pieces next, and did the white edge last. Much easier than trying to put together a plain-white edge at the beginning.

A nice gift for a Broadway fan, maybe not for a puzzle enthusiast.

Nice puzzle, but the pieces are either too loose (they slide down if the puzzle is not in horizontal position) or stick and sometimes it's hard to move.

I was a little disappointed as 3/4ths of the book had the puzzles completed, but for the price it was ok

pretty cool, but kind of gimmicky...  Used them some, but not a ton.  They fit together fairly well, but they don't seem like they will last super long.  After only a few uses the puzzle pieces don't fit together as well already.  Not bad, just not great either.
